why do they never want to sit on an empty chair? It's not as though there aren't any for her to curl up in....

Minnie is making slow progress. I'm now on the sleeves but had to rip right back to the cast off for the start of the sleeve on the back, only after I'd found that I'd mis-read the pattern. I hadn't checked it properly until I had cast off for the shoulders and it took me over a week to get back to where I was!!


I've had some lovely surprises in the post (when Royal Mail haven't been on strike), the first being a belated Birthday present from Liz

Two skeins of hand dyed yarn - one sock and another lace weight (Liz, you know me so well) in gorgeous summery colours. Thank you so much Liz.

I have also had my Rowan Exchange gift arrive -

a beautifully soft neckwarmer made from some Blue Sky Alpaca and Colinette Parisienne in one of my favourite colours. There were also two skeins of some Coldspring Mill DK and a fab slice of soap that looks just like a piece of Strawberry Cheesecake.
