Mellow Yellow Monday



This is an old knitting pattern that belonged to my Mum.


I've always loved the term "fuzzy wuzzy" to describe angora wool, it just seems word-perfect.


The shop stamp on it is The Knitting Pin, Prospect Road, Glasnevin (near cemetery).

More on that in the next post.

  2. Isn't it fun to have these old patterns. You have the connection to your mom. And you have a connection to the shop's past. I do assume that the shop is no longer there.

    Fuzzy-wuzzy also reminds me of caterpillars. Angora is a prettier fuzz.

  4. So weird. When I read "fuzzy wuzzy", a poem popped in my head that I used to say as a little kid. I don't think I've recited it since I was six, and somehow, it climbed right out of my brain:
    Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear.
    Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair.
    Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy, wuz he?

    I LOVE it when you find things still in your brain somewhere!
