Look what arrived today in the post, Romantic Hand Knits by Annie Modesitt and the latest offering from the Spunky Yarn Club. I will be pouring through the book this afternoon and thinking about what to make with the Spunky yarn. Lovely to get "surprises" in the mail box.
Finished Juno from Rowan 40 except for sewing on the buttons so next time you might see a photo if it looks okay. Colour is good anyway - a lovely greeny-blue (teal perhaps) in Rowan Yorkshire Tweed Aran, which is discontinued but which I got from Jannette's Rare Yarns on Ebay. The original pattern called for Rowan Wool-Cotton doubled - a bit costly.
Went to a new knitting group last night - well, I was new not the group. They had been going for 5 years. Great to talk to people about knitting and have them interested. Also went to my stitching group this week which has been going about 10 years we think. I think we meet up now for a good natter as much as for stitching. The other night we spent most of the night looking at the lunar eclipse - absolutely amazing! No pictures sorry but Just Jussi has some on her blog.
Well, have to go an make some pikelets for hungry children who will be home shortly.
