This time last year I knitted a little neck warmer from the 'Pretty Thing' pattern by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. It was a little thing of beauty and kept my neck toasty warm without being scratchy.
I should have known in Spring this year that it was doomed because, when I tidied up the box of hats and scarfs to put them away for the summer, the beret that I knitted it to go with (Rose Red by Ysolda Teague), had been nested in and eaten by mice.
Now, the lovely neck warmer has had an unintentional trip through the washing machine at 40C and came out looking like this...
and with the flash on to really highlight the horror...
Ouch. Looking on the bright side, I now have a great reason to knit another hat and neckwarmer in this year's chosen colour, yarn and pattern. Now I just have to find the time...
