Yarn Inventory Day

Yes, it's that day that only happens once a year - not my birthday, or Christmas but YARN INVENTORY DAY!!!!
I may be some time - send a search party for me if I am longer than 10 hours!

Rowan shade card folder search

Have you ever tried to look for something you desperately want and can't find it anywhere? This is the experience I have been having with the Rowan Shade Card Folder! I really REALLY wanted one - I have quite a few shade cards and for years have had them stuck in an old boring black folder - well, that's just not good enough any more! I wanted, no NEEDED a shade card folder. Could I get one though? No! After a bit of an ordering disaster with a well known knitting company I finally got one - free of charge too for all my trouble - so here is my darling in all her glory:




(You'll have to excuse the crap photos - hubby ran off with the camera this morning so I've had to use the built in camera on the mac!)

The only problem is that I just ordered 6 new shade cards from Kangaroo (I love love LOVE this store - www.kangaroo.uk.com) so I might need another one soon!!

Let's hope things go smoother the second time around.

Quick knit project

I was browsing through Knitty yesterday and found the most gorgeous patten called Calorimetry from the Winter 06 issue (http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTcalorimetry.html) - it's gorgeous!!
Here is my version...



Sorry about the poor pic but it's hard to take a picture of something you are wearing on your head!! It took me about 45 mins to knit so it was a nice easy project - one easy to make whilst watching Sex and the City!!!
