Not a lot of knitting
Not a lot of knitting done in the past few days, but I got mail again!!
Bliss was selling off stash a while back, and I really liked the Lime and Pink cotton blend she had. These are Em's favourite colours right now (this week ;) and I have a pattern for a cute summer sweater in the same gauge. For a variety of reasons, I couldn't buy the yarn from her. But she sent it to me anyway! How nice is this lady?
She also tossed in that lovely hank of variegated merino in the picture. Em is on school holidays right now, and we both squealed with excitement on opening the box. Thankyou Bliss!
My order from Bendigo Wool Mill also arrived, but it paled in comparison :)
This is the 2 ply laceweight in the colour "Rosebud" that I had intended for the Flower Basket shawl. But now I just want to finish DH's sweater do I can start Emily's Lime and Pink one!
DH's sweater is coming along, I've done maybe 6 or 8 inches of the back, and am trying to convince myself that I really should finish it. Now. ;)
Love those colours! I can't wait to see Em's new jumper!
