  1. How lovely to have won some yarn and such beautiful colours too. I love the extra chunky cowl, who would have thought in May you could wear it to keep you warm. Lovely idea to make some for presents. jayne x

  8. Where to start, there is so much gorgeousness here!! I am in love with your new yarn - the colours are amazing. Can't wait to see what you create with it hon. I am besotted with your new chunky cowl! When I first saw it I thought it made you look like a wee doll, because the size of the knitting stitches well and truly tricked my eyes. It looks super cosy and oh so chic. Your new shrinky-jersey bag is fabulous - you're such a clever gal aren't you?!!!!

    I still haven't managed to pick up my crochet hook - it's been nearly two weeks. I keep looking at it and feeling guilty but there is too much else on just now - darn it!

    Have a fabulous week hon.

  9. I might have to copy that lovely little bag of yours - its a very good idea. I am knitting a bag from the Rowan Winter Warmers book that you showed us. Had to order a copy from Laughing Hens as I couldn't find a copy around here. I think I want to knit everything all the patterns are so fab. Love your cowl too it sits just right doesn't it. Karen X

  10. Just LOVE that cowl! Can you tell me where you got the pattern? Is it a Tiny Owl creation? Also, that bag of yours is just darling! I'm on sort of a creative slump at the moment, but I've been knitting on a new little drop over top for summer. I'll post when I have more of it done. I was visiting over here the other day, and while looking at your Selvedge badge I really started missing that mag. I haven't seen it in the bookstore for a long time, so I think maybe they're not carrying it anymore. Well, I just "bit the bullet" and went online to order another subscription. Maybe when it arrives it will get my creative juices moving again!
