beginning of a red knitting jacket

We were in Udine – that’s in Italy, up in the shaft of the boot. If anyone is interested, here is a wikipedia link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udine. Anyway, there was this wool shop and these nice ladies working there and this charming “hand-foot-gesture-crumb-Italian-communication” was just so good that I had to go straight out and get wool for a project I had picked out on ravelry the night before. On the day of departure, I had to get some wool for a baby blanket, I don’t know which baby it should be for, but maybe it will come up with someone else.
