Something else I discovered yesterday was that my stash definately needs enhancing, my pathetic little plastic crate is not a patch on the amounts of yarn my fellow members have. So today the postman bought some parcels so I can now add to my poor excuse for a stash some lovely yarn which I purchased from The Knitting Yarn Shop. Now this is listed as premium seconds yarn but it is pure wool and I can't fault its quality. I have purchased 1.35kgs of the 10ply airforce blue and 600gms of the variegated 8ply in olive green which is absolutely beautiful and the photo does not do this lovely yarn justice, all for a very reasonable $49.50 including postage, what a bargain.
I am still waiting for the Jo Sharp Silkroad Tweed to arrive so that I can knit the very popular Ribby it is apparently on its way so hopefully it will arrive soon. I probably wont start it this year now as it is starting to warm up a little but hey I do live in Tassie!!

I don't know who's the worst influence in our little S'n'B group.
I've just been to the knitting yarn shop and ordered about $45 worth of yarn. I ordered some pretty wine zest and also some 8 ply pure wool.
The poor old mastercard groans again.

Ah, what sage counsel. I think it is the creating something out of a raw(ish) product. When I don't feel well, or I am cross I often cook - I find it very soothing, and the same with knitting : there is something magical about ingredients becoming a cake and a ball of yarn becoming whatever it becomes!!! I will certainly bring the book along - you will laugh, you will cry, yet you may still want to knit something from it - I do!!!!
every knitter can cook but not all can cook can knit...
errr...am i making sense?? haha

Sharon - thank you so much for your lovely comment on my blog. I love knitting baby bits mainly because they knit up so quickly and you can really go to town with the colours - I like bright colours a lot and most adults aren't interested in them, so I can force them on children ! Your new yarn looks lovely - I really hope you like the stuff I have sent to you - it looked very nice indeed to me.
