Thelma's Ishbel

Today is the start of Miss T's Easter holiday. But it also marked the last day with her lovely teacher Thelma.
She has started her retirement today.
To mark the occasion I have knitted Ishbel for her.

Miss T told me that her teacher likes purple.
I used a skein of Malabrigo sock yarn. It's a lovely 100% Merino superwash yarn. We choose the colour Abril.
The pattern is Ishbel by Ysolda.
I knit this pattern the second time. Again it was a lovely pattern to knit.
Thelma is very happy with her gift. She loves the way it looks worn, the feel of it and the colour.
Glad my little Miss T made a good choice.
I am finishing a few smaller projects, socks, squares for Japan and getting yarn ready with beads for my next big project.

Much nicer than a box of chocs or a bottle of wine!
we never forget the good teachers, the ones who inspire us and make us think. Thelma will never forget Miss T as she enjoys wearing that beautiful Ishbel.
