So today I got a boat load of yarn and I am excited!! I got 8 balls of Rowan Wool DK in a light yellow for 90p a ball! Then I got 10 balls of Rowan Merino DK (5 pink 5 purple) for 2.25 each! That is 18 balls of yarn for just under 30 quid (see pic above!) I see many new projects for Karliegh coming up!
Oh yeah and Karliegh was born and has worn her hat I knitted and has hugged her bear (that is bigger than her!). She is the cutest baby eeever I am such a proud 'Aunty Alison'! I have a million things I want to knit for her for this winter (obviously wool and summer don't mix and I hate knitting with cotton).
In other knitting news, I am getting far on my little shrug I have started for myself. It is turning out much better than the one I ripped out! I also got some yarn to make my little sister something. I haven't knitted her anything in a while and I found the perfect yarn (bright green Malabrigo silky merino she better love it) I am going to make another 'waves' scarf on the flight back to the US (cross your fingers for me sneaking on my wooden circs!)
In life news, I have a wood pigeon friend named Brucie who visits me every day. Each day he gets braver and braver! Today he walked into the house TWICE! I feed him out of a bowl because his one foot is wonkey and when I used to put the food on the ground it attracted mice (well I still get them if I don't bring the bowl in quick enough and even if I do last night one came inside and ate from the bowl). Well this morning I hadn't put the bowl out yet but it was just inside the open door so he just walked in and ate from it. When I found him he walked outside and waited for me to move the bowl! Then at lunch time he decided to check out the carpet because there were some stray seeds so he walked right in again! I must say I was quite excited!
all for now! Have to get back to my Dissertation!
