Happy Mothers Day! 🙂
I hope you are all having a lovely day. I got breakfast in bed and some lovely gifts.
“Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook” and the Gwen Stefani CD. Now I know why Em told me she wanted my gift, LOL!
We went up and visited my mum this morning, and now (hopefully) a lazy afternoon stretches before me.
Well, we went along to the “Fashion Parade” at Spotlight on Friday night. It was advertised as 6-8pm. Em has dance lessons until 6pm, so we didn’t get up there until 6.20pm. By then, the fashion parade was over! Probably a good thing, as I didn’t see anything I wanted to knit 😉
I did buy a new Cleckheaton pattern book.
The yarn the book calls for is a new season yarn from Cleckheaton Australia, called Studio Mohair. It’s 50% mohair, 50% acrylic, and inexpensive. All the yarn was 20% off, so it was only $4 a ball, but I didn’t buy a single ball. It’s not that I didn’t like any of the patterns. I bought the book specifically for these two patterns in particular.
The jumper has a lace pattern in it, which is difficult to see here.
But none of the available colours grabbed me, and I thought of the stash at home, so I resisted. I’ve got the book now, I can always sub with something different later.
Now I’m off to read the Sunday paper, and knit!
i have this book (and wool) i am 1/2 way thru the ballet wrap ( made a bit longer for me) . i like the lace jumper knit … how about you knit it up and i can see if i really like it !!
I love the patterns in your new book, especially the gray, lace sweater. Very pretty!
Happy Mother’s Day!
Hope you had a lovely day!
Hope you had a great Mother’s day! I love the Cleckheaton book! The cardi is lovely and so is the wrap on the cover.
Ooooh, you naughty lady!! Now I’ll have to go to my Spotlight and see if they have the book and wool in stock yet….Thanks for the heads up Donna!!
