My Current Knitting Project

I was very excited to have a day off the other week which happily coincided with the John Lewis sale so i was able to add to my yarn stash.



I bought some lovely Debbie Bliss Pure Cotton and am happily knitting this scarf. I am hoping that it will be cool enough for summer nights (if we get some summer) and warm and soft to wear in the winter as well.

New addition to the flat!

As we can't have a cat at the moment as we are living in a rented flat, we decided to get a plant with a bit of character, and here he is - Boris (mark named him) from B and Q.



He seems to be settling in well!

The Knitting Guru is Coming To Stay

This weekend my big sister Victoria is coming to stay!
We intend to visit the many lovely knitting shops in London including I Knit London and Loop.

Now i have never been to Loop before so that's a new one for me, but I Knit is the most glorious knitting shop that i have been to. It's delightfull setting in Bonnigton Square, Vauxhall is just lovely and stocks a brilliant range of yarn as well has having very friendly staff who are very happy to help with any knitting conundrums.

I promise to post again after the weekend with some highlights of our adventures!

The Scarf i Received From my ISE4 Pal

I thought that i would share with you the scarf that i received from my ISE4 Pal.

This scarf is such a pleasure to wear and i have had many compliments. Thank you Doreen!!
She also sent me some lovely green yarn that i am going to make an Irish Hiking Scarf out of and some lovely soap and lavender.

International Scarf Exchange 4

My most recent knitting project was The International Scarf Exchange 4 (link at the side of the page). This was so much fun. Basically you fill in a questionnaire that is sent to a pal and you get sent another pal's questionaire and then you Knit them a scarf. It truly is wonderful being able to create a scarf for your pal. The lady that i knitted for lives all the way over in America. Unfortunatley i never heard from my pal so a Scarf Angel came to my rescue and sent my the most wonderful shawl.

The exchange is so much fun as you never know what you are going to get!
