Parcels and Purchases

These are my Rowan exchange presents, knitted by the lovely Carol.

A lovely sea lettuce scarf with matching lavender pouch, helping to keep me relaxed whilst studying.

And a sheep tape measure that I'm not going to let






Ruth (who sent this little lot) see....


This is a not so subtle hint for me to do some spinning.... And when I finish reading my books I'm going to allow myself half a day with Morris..









And I seem to be good at taking blurred photos at the moment...

I got some books at Exeter...

Hot Textiles is by Kim who shows at ICHF shows, and is on my wavelength....

Crochet toys - you need to look at it - there are lobsters, walrus and the cows drink milk...






And I've been wanting to buy some of these for a while...

From Jolly Red 'A Gardener's Bottom'

and ' Line Dried'

Very silly but had to be done...

The only yarn I bought was for a swap and to knit for a friend - how good is that !!

And I managed to confuse Anna on Web of Wool by buying lots of her clover yarn cutters... mainly for volunteers who thought they were wonderful.

And now I'm going back to my books - random fact of the day - plants can get sexually transmitted diseases...
