Lots Going On!

Hello All! Plenty to talk about today!

For Christmas I made a few of these Backbone Bookmarks by Kiersten Brandt in a variety of yarns but this was the only one I remembered to photograph. Great stocking filler!

I can't remember if I posted about these mittens but here you can see I have knitted Fetching by Cheryl Niamath. Knitted from Rowan RYC Silk Wool in a lovely Duck Egg colour, these are very comfy, pretty and ALL MINE MWAH MWAH HAAAAAAAAAA!! Sorry after Christmas I had to do something!

Here being knitted outside the Royal Albert Hall in London on possibly the first sunny day this spring is the beginnings of Glynis by CookieA. Isn't it puuurty! Also all mine (teehee)! I think the yarn is Debbie Bliss but I got it on sale because it the balls had lost their tags.

I'm also working on some Basic Ribbed Socks for the lovely boyfriend. He always calls then lucky socks hehe! One done and I'm on the heel for the second. I'm trying to make them match too. He likes his socks to match just like his girlfriend :D

Here is some more Koigu that I bought from a lovely lady I met at a Socktopus meeting in London, It's going to be a shawl but I am still deciding which pattern. At the moment Travelling Woman by Liz Abinante is my favourite and it looks easy enough to start me off. And what do I store all my special balls of Gorgeous Yarn in?...

This FANTASTIC bag was made by a very talented old lady who takes up and in all my mums clothes (mum being only 5 foot that means that is nearly everything she buys). It hangs in your wardrobe and is just so fun! I love it! Looks like a naughty school girl outfit lol. Wish it was full of Wollmeise though.

Yes I have also discovered Wollmeise but do not own a single skein yet! I think as a student I'm going to have to live without until I can afford it (aka GET A JOB YOU LAZY STUDENT) but every skein is wonderful. It's crazy to get your hands on one though. Also I have been an avid ebay watcher but I have stopped now as it just makes me want things I cannot buy. Talking of which:

I so cannot afford these boots at £135 (that's $205 or 149 euros)!! But they are perfect and the shop has ordered them in my size (the pair pictured here are one size to small). They were in the sale would you believe, reduced from £175! Weep!! I want them. Maybe I should sell some things on ebay? Like I have anthing worth anything... other than yarn of course. (I think these are definately ""I don't need a job, I don't need my father, I got great boots." boots!" Rachel from Friends quote)...

Will sing and knit for Pretty Boots!
