Happy Yarns

Just had a pleasant weekend...on Saturday decided to go to Rye in Hastings. Never been there before had a lovely mooch around and came across a small craft shop with quite a few knitty things but nothing that toke my fancy. The streets of Rye are mostly cobbled, not good on the ol leggies. But the sun was a shining and there was a wedding at the town hall which we stopped and watched. The bride must have been a school teacher as all her class were waiting for her outside (infants at that) all holding their balloons. She was led down the town hall stairs by a town cryer, bought quite a tear to my eye thinking about my 3 daughters weddings.



















Anyway postie came last week and brought me

















a lovely cheeky book, very feminine to knit, there are quite a few on my to do list.

This really pretty lace top which in the book they are calling a nightgown! Chiffon has been attached to the bottom. A cheeky pair of knitted stockings...

Anway, wanna have a peak at my Wip at the moment. Socks.....oh yes socks haven't done any for such a long time with all the baby knitting. The yarn is from http://www.peakwool.co.uk/index.php?id=designer&gclid=CKees5-VvYkCFRQFEAodJ2iPOQ. The colourway is shall we say questionable but different. Differents good (I think).

and of course there had to be the obligatory baby knitting, this time a blanket in quite a nice basket type pattern. Am half way through this at the moment but hey

Hopefully on Saturday I am going to local Guilds for their Spinning and Weaving Day workshop...as yet haven't tried spinning alpaca fibre, so have ordered 100g baby alpaca from http://www.alpaca-spinner.com/ . So hopefully will show you a picture when it comes in all its gorgeous lovely softness. So best be away and get those needles working...speak laters love to all x
