Peerie tam

I love all knitting, not a thing I can think of that I'm not keen on, but this is what I love most - designing on the needles as I go, intricate and small patterns, choosing colours as it knits up. Peerie means small, and I'm choosing peerie patterns from the wonderful book  'A Shetland Pattern Book' by  Mary Smith and Maggie Twatt. This is a tam in lovely Shetland and lambswool, a mixed bag bought from e-bay just before Christmas; knitting up nice and quickly - but maybe that's because  I can't put it down.................
