I love my littlest sister. She’s one of those wonderful people who ask what you want for your birthday and Christmas and listen and take notice of what you actually say. She’s also extremely tech savvy in the world of online shopping.

So this year for Christmas, I suggested a few ebooks as potential presents and she bought me Hunter Hammerson’s Curls. I knew I wanted to knit stuff from this but when i got it, Wow! too much good stuff. My short list is still about 8 of the 12 patterns.

The yarn dictated the Curl that jumped onto my needles first - Infuscate. I admit I stole this from my Mum’s stash. It’s a gorgeous olive green alpaca blend. It was too beautiful to sit there languishing. The olive color and the pattern inspired the name. It’s a pattern of knitted holes and so - Pitted Olive.

I used 4mm needles and did 21 repeats.
