Look at this BEAUTIFUL brooch from Caroline, as part of a little swap we did. It also came with some beautiful FQs which are just visible in the background - how generous and thoughtful! It was a lovely surprise when I came back to an empty house, missing an away-at-work husband and all the family back at home.
Also received my final two ATCs from one of my Swap-Bot swaps - on major arcana tarot cards. Both of The Magician which is perfectly apt. There have been a couple of exciting developments chez Flib, and I'll be revealing more in the next few weeks - or in the next few eeeks, as I mistakenly typed a moment ago.
The Knitting and Stitching show at Ally Pally turned out to be more of a social occasion for me than anything else - at knitting group yesterday someone was decrying the fact that there was too many sewing and non-yarn stands there. Then I was asked what I bought and announced that I'd carried away some funky fat quarters and semi-precious beads and nary a skein. The most popular stands as voted by our group were Cherry Tree Hill, Sublime from Sirdar and the Colinette sock yarn.
And just freshly liberated from the post sorting office - two fabulous new books all the way from Amerikay. I'll be posting about them later this week once they've had the time and appreciation they deserve, and the drool has been wiped clean from the pages.
Right, off to move on the new twinkle in my eye into becoming a WIP. It's a fabric day so that gives me permission to ignore the washing up for a few hours. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
