My Treats

This is my treat box. Firstly a really gorgeous 'coffee' illustrated box to store keepsakes in filled with great goodies and a lovely card for me. My Treater was Cheryl of addictedtotheneedles. She spoiled me with really gorgeous things.


A fabulous needle case made of 'doggie' bone and hearts fabric. I don't have one so this will be really useful. Can you see that great box? Some delicious chocolates by Lindt. My favourite sort - truffles. They did not last long. I had them with two cups of coffee. (all by myself)



Two magazines that I certainly don't have and they are really welcome. Vogue Knitting and Interweave. Two skeins of lovely yarn. Lily n Cream cotton in a lovely buttery yellow complete with pattern on the skein band for a great lacy bag and a skein of really gorgeous 'Nashua' worsted wool/alpaca yarn in a sage green in a lovely little gift box.





Some lovely novelty stationery - tiny photo album, journal, post-its and notelets. Some lovely green and silver beads





Then a really great ' Yankee Candle' white ceramic oil burner, a candle and lovely scented orange oil to burn in it. And lots of lovely handmade soaps made by Cheryl herself.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, CHERYL for spoiling me with a terrific package. I'm sorry that it came too late to nominate you for 'Best Treater'. I really appreciate your time and efforts in putting together a truly great package.

Me and Ravelry etc

Intermittent blogging for me lately. I've had a very busy time for the last 2 months, and so have not had my mind on blogging. Have been doing some knitting, photos later, but only small projects which is only using tiny pieces from my stash. Thanks to Isobel and Diane who suggested 'flashing your stash' a while ago, I had to look the stash in the eye and feel guilt ridden for having so much and so little time to do anything with it. And then I won and got a cake of beautiful Rowan yarn to add to the stash!!!! My daughter had her debs at the beginning of September, DH graduated with his BA in Psychology, then my Mam took sick and so no knitting much Then on Thursday last, I got my invitation to Ravelry. Oh my God what am I going to do with this? Now fellow bloggers I've copied you all in setting up the blog in the first place and I've really enjoyed it, so I just had to apply also to join Ravelry. Hopefully this will be a smooth ride for me, cos I'm not great

Knit Lit

Recently I've been reading some Knitting fiction. First up was 'The Friday Night Knitting Club' by Kate Jacob .This is the story of a single mother, Georgia, who has her hands full with her yarn shop and raising her teenage daughter. Her Friday knitting club is the place where friendships are made and problems are discussed and helped. This book was slow to get going and indeed I was half way through before I really got into it. I suppose I was slightly disappointed in it having heard all the hype about the movie being made with Julia Roberts starring. I will go and see it though for the curiosity. Next was 'A Good Yarn' by Debbie Macomber .This is the story of Lydia who has had health issues. She sets up a sock knitting class in her yarn store and through it we meet the lovely people who attend it, and their interesting lives, and the lovely friendships created through it. This book also includes patterns for knitting socks. The characters in this book are well dra

My Mam

My Mam, Carmel, passed away on the morning of Nov 21st last after a short illness. She was gentle, kind, loving, caring and giving. We will miss her terribly. I don't think it has dawned on us yet. I will miss the long phone calls, the chats, the gossip, the visits. May she rest in peace.
