Yesterday I typed a post about how I was pondering a purchase of yarn… Then the webmonster ate it all up 🙁 Stupid connection. I basically was umming and ahhing about buying the yarn for a project from Rowan 38 that I’ve been loved up over for ages, and would look lovely against my black winter coat, but can’t justify buying normally. I have cash for Christmas, so thought I might be naughty seeing as I’m lacking ideas for buying anything generally and have no idea what anyone has bought me.
The upshot of all this umming and ahhing and sleeping on the idea brought me to buying this morning in a fit of pre-holiday desire. And an hour later I had an email saying the stuff had been dispatched already 😀 Tomorrow DB and I are visiting my family, so we won’t be in to see if the postie is sharpish about it, but how exciting to think that I may have something beautiful on my needles to accompany Angelica (she’s a little lonely right now, especially now I’m on the round sections and will be doing the sleeve separation in the next week sometime). Until the yarn arrives I’m keeping it a secret so I won’t know what I have until I open the parcel/finish knitting it – something DB’s mum jokes about. I think I might try and finish the flat knitting on my armwarmer today too. Did I say the hat was done? Yet again it is too dark in miserable England to take pics yet. It is a little big, but I am totally in love with the yarn and therefore the hat…
Anyway, here I am typing this up and browsing everyone’s blogs, when I should be wrapping the pressies for my family for tomorrow and sat with the fire on and knitting up lovely things.
