Yay, my internet connection is back! It went off before Christmas for about 10 days. Anyhow, the stocking was done with time to spare and we had a lovely Christmas. Did you? I hope so!
I swear I only went into John Lewis to see if there was any cotton dk in the sale, but I came out with this mixing bowl that I'd had my eye on since before Christmas (half-price)...
and rather a lot of pure wool in 4 colours, chestnut, wheat, mulberry and powder...

colours not quite truly replicated
This isn't even half of it..., heck, it's not even a quarter of it! I am wondering where I'm going to hide it before Mr yrh gets home from work...
and I'm also wondering, stripes or squares?

ReplyDeletethat in. I'm not buying any yarn, we are on a tight string until my sweety finds a job..:)
Happy new year to you and your family
Hi Victoria, nice to see you back - glad you've had a good Christmas, I hit the sales yesterday and came home with a few bargains - should have checked JL for wool!
ReplyDeleteNot naughty at all, its very nice and you will make good use of it all this next year I'm sure
ReplyDeleteThe mixing bowl is beautiful and so is al that yarn, lucky you!

Your lovely yarn looks like a bowl of ice cream - just needs some chocolate sprinkles on it! ;)

ReplyDeleteDear Victoria,
ReplyDeletewow...beautiful Yarn...love the Colours!
I wish you and your Familiy a very Happy New Year 2011 and send you many Greetings,

Such lovely mulled colours of yarn, looks gorgeous and soft too. I WISH with all my heart that we had a John Lewis somewhere in the South East, the nearest for us is London ... I think we all do a little bit of hiding from our other halves (hee hee) I managed to get mine into a yarn shop before Christmas as I am planning to knit him a man beanie... he was shocked at the price of good quality yarn, maybe I shouldn't have taken him in after all!! xox Happy, healthy New Year to you and your family x
