Well, I've just been to the SECC for the knitting and stitching show, it will be going on over the weekend - but I have offspring to attend. Still I had two gorgeous days with Yvonne (and Pat, and Nancy and the fabulous Nessa from down London) so I am a seriously happy chick and I have ALL next week off, hmm so which do I start - the heavenly smelling natural undyed yarn from New Lanark? the patchwork quilt from the patchwork shop in Linlithgow, the possum hand-dyed yarn, the exquisite yarny gift from Yvonne? I'm not sure. I do know that Cosima is needing my attention (it only really needs one and a half fronts finished, oh dear - my house is full of good intentions - most of them half finished).
In the mean time, there are signs of spring (SQUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!) - these crocuses have popped up where I did not expect any crocuses to be (bonus - any extra crocuses are always welcome).
And to show I do actually do stuff now and then, here is a Soda bag (I am loving the Colour of Summer book from Martin Storey / Rowan Classic - it is FULL of gorgeousness) mine has different coloured flowers to the one in the book - but then I chose colours to go with stuff I actually wear, although their combination of yellow, pale blue, pink, cream and light green and zingy red is lovely. It took a weekend of knitting and a week later I finally got off my behind and finished the lining and sewing.
Very cute!! I hope your week off is wonderful!
