Missing in action….

Sunday, April 28th, 2013

Hey….I’m here…still…..

Life’s just been getting in the way a bit recently. So much to do and so little time…Nothing major, just the normal stuff…work, family, house, garden and seeing friends I haven’t had time to catch up with for a while. Good stuff. But there hasn’t been any sewing going on. I guess that’s the price you pay for trying to do everything!!

I did have a little late night weakness. This arrived this week.

Gorgeous, isn’t it? It’s Chickadee from Quince & Co in lovely leek and bird’s egg colourways. You might want to check out their website, it’s seriously fabulous!

I’ve started making this….the Lightweight sweater…..

From this pattern book – Knitbot Essentials by Hannah Fettig

Delicious! Fabulous easy vanilla ice-cream knitting. Perfect relaxing stress reduction.

Another lovely little package arrived in the post this week. I won this wonderful box from Lynne at Lily’s Quilts……

Super Aurifil threads – unobtainable in Switzerland to the best of my knowledge!! And I’ve wanted to try them for sooooo long!

5

Now I just have to decide what to do with them!!

Hard decisions!

    You succumbed!! Well done 😉 looks lovely, I like the simplicity of Hannah’s patterns.

    That is beautiful yarn and thread! Glad to hear you are having a good spring.

    Gorgeous yarn, love the colours. I won’t go and have a look at the website as I simply have no time or space for more wool and I know I would buy some if I did have a little peek.
    Enjoy the Aurifil. I love it and don’t want to sew with any other thread ever again 🙂

    Love the yarn. So pretty. I have recently started to knit / crochet. Not quite ready to try a sweater though.

    Yes – now I’m on Bloglovin’ (detest that name!!) your blog shows up in my feed so no having to remember to click over to you! Lovely yarn and thread – how you just need to win some time 🙂

  9. Katy Says:

    Well you can keep the wool (though the jumper looks lovely) and share the thread 😀

    Nice to see you are still among the living…I think since Instagram came out I blog less, you have a better excuse…WORK.

    Glad you are having a good time, and such gorgeous colours in those threads.
