Jenners Sale

Oh the evil Jenners Sale.

50% of everything!! It would have been rude not to have gone...

So enough of that - stash talk - what did I get? Just adding it into Ravelry and it is a little scary..

I bought
  • 12 skeins of lilac Rowan Summer Tweed
  • 2 red balls of Rowan Cotton Rope
  • 4 balls of Rowan 4 ply cotton
  • 18 balls of Rowan Bamboo Soft (3 each of 6 colours in deep pink, purples and blues)
  • 4 balls of lilac/purple Jaeger Merino Soft
  • 1 pair of bamboo knitting needles
  • A snap press thing
  • Lucinda Guy's 'And So To Bed'
Phew - quite a haul...

The Summer Tweed will make a jumper/cardi for me. The cotton rope and 4-ply cotton are to make iggle piggle for Orla. The bamboo soft is to to make a Mason-Dixon log cabin afghan. The Jaeger wool is just because...

Fun was had..

Oh and the book is fantastic - lots of bedtime things to knit. I'm planning on an Otto Owl for the kids, amongst other things.

Busy busy

I have a whole load of wool bought from a couple of places including HipKnits and from my holiday in Brittany.

I also have delved into the realm of hand spinning and have bought some roving and a drop spindle from Shunklies on Etsy.

When I get a moment I will take some photos of my stash as I need to work out what is going to be used for what.

You never know I may actually finish a project too...
