A pair of wrist warmers for me... started before Christmas but abandoned when I lost the pattern. I found it again this week so finished them off. Knitted in a lovely Rowan Tweed.
I've also received some rather super goodies this week. From Michaela this lovely book on tassel making - just because she thought I would find it useful! I'm sure I will as I feel an overwhelming desire to make some very big and beautiful tassels! Thank you Michaela!
From Julia some fabulous pages from old bibles. I've plans to stitch on them so watch this space. Thank you Julia!
And from Silverpebble a prize in her giveaway. A gorgeous vintage tin filled with wonderful beads and jewellery making supplies. I'll show more when I've done something with the contents! Thank you Emma!
In with the beads were these brilliant wooden scrabble letters with magnets, which are now adorning my fridge. You wouldn't score much in a game of scrabble with my name would you?
I also got another magnet, this time from Jodie. This was very exciting because it now means I'm a member of Team Selvedge which sounds very important!
So that's this week... next week I'm having a little blogging break for half term. Not going anywhere but just need to finish off a lot of things and feel I need a concentrated effort without blogging distractions. Have a happy week... and Happy Valentine's Day!
What fab goodies! Have a great "holiday" - hope you get loads done!

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week off, see you on your return.
Love the socks and those gorgeous tassels. (You thought I was going to say hairy legs didn't you?!). Can't wait to see what you do with the bible pages - very interesting. The tin of beads sounds good too. Enjoy your week 'off' and come back to us refreshed and with a load of tasks completed and ticked off your job list.

Hi Gina, Thank you very much for your lovely comments and purchases! Those socks are great (I have a thing about colourful and patterned socks!) The wristwarmers are wonderful too - one of the most useful things you can have in a winter wardrobe! The tin looks very pretty, lucky you!

I love the socks! I started a pair ages and ages ago, but you won't be surprised to learn that they are not finished yet. Have made other things in the meantime though. Perhaps I should take then to the next Snake and Knit.
ReplyDeleteLove the socks! Enjoy the half term break and I hope that you get lots of stitching done. I am hoping too, though my day has gone as planned.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful things! How lovely to have so many goodies arrive on your doorstep. Love the knitted socks, the colours are wonderful. Have agreat half term.

Love those beautiful socks Gina! And look at the bright side -- your name scores 1 point more than my name in Scrabble LOL! (Oh, and what's Team Selvedge?)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad the book arrived safely, but I cant believe how quickly it got there. I only posted it last night-so much for snail mail!
ReplyDeleteGreat socks! Happy half-term.
ReplyDeleteFabulous socks and hand warmers Gina. Jane x
ReplyDeleteoooooh! Good job with the socks. Even better job finding a man with obvious good taste in socks!
ReplyDeleteMust say I do love those bright socks you knitted for Srewart! (modelled beautiful by him too I must say).
