It may have taken a week, but....

Here it is, finally! Apologies for the pics being in the wrong order etc, I'm still learning but at least there's plenty yarn candy for my first post. So, in reverse order, my first skein of sock yarn from fyberspates, nummy alpaca and nylon plus a free pattern, I look forward to my next two skeins! That arrived Friday, also spent Friday plying a gorgeous merino/silk combo after a fab evening at Kaths where I used up my greenish odds and ends, picture to follow.


This was taken Wednesday, the weather was sunny and I got the urge to show the world at large what was on my doorstep- great idea, the reality was I needed to walk along the prom for half an hour to Seacombe to get the Liverpool skyline- still looks like a blob on the horizon though, I couldn't find the zoom option, d'oh! It was fricking freezing down there, it may have been sunny but boy was the breeze cold! Still, I found plenty of interesting stuff along the way which i will post at a later date (when the weather gets warmer and I take my camera!)


I couldn't post a blog without at least one pic of my babies, Biscuit and Floppy, but you'll no doubt hear about them in blogs to come.

And finally, two Christmas knitting projects, I knitted a few, I just haven't managed to get photos of all of them yet. So here is a pic of my MIL's lace cardi I knitted:

and DH's cardi which some of you might recognise as Hello yarn's free Cycling Aran pattern with a little modification as himself required a specific shade of green and after 3 months of searching for a chunky weight yarn, I ended up using 2 strands of DK pure merino which despite only costing £2 per ball, still ended up around £60 for the quantity I bought, had to be shipped from london and now I'm left with mounds of it, green yarn anyone?

So, me, I'm a knitaholic, craft loving, book purchasing, yarn lusting, reiki healing female with acres of fleece clogging up my so-called dining room just waiting to be spun into something gorgeous. My current projects are cheesylove from knitty, pic to follow, a lace sock (soon to be frogged and reknitted) and a Patons Lush aran that I need a little motivation to finish. I'll be posting my most recent finished objects shortly, and my adventures into overdyeing an already knitted garment- when I'm brave enough!

Thanks to Kath and Anne for getting me to this point, as for the rest, well, watch this space!
