tiny happy

– This yarn was a gift from my Mum. She bought it while visiting my sister who lives in the Czech Republic. It's Rowan 'fine art' sock yarn in the colourway Chiff-Chaff. Isn't that a great name? The colours are smoky greys, and purples. Mum said it was hard to choose colours she would never personally want to knit with, but she knew I would be into it, and I am.

– Back in autumn I saw a competition to come up with a phrase or saying to go on a complementary tote bag for this knitting event. On the bus on the way home from work I casually sent in 'Get your knit together', because I love puns and it amused me at the time. (Actually, my children think I possess the world's worst humour, and they don't appreciate my puns at all.) Anyway, I was so surprised to see the finished bags made up and on Instagram, using my suggested phrase. The design was done by Dear Colleen and the bags were a gift to attendees from Tash of Holland Road Yarn Company. Not only did Tash send me my own tote bag, she included a HRYC voucher – hooray! 

I'm making myself finish a few projects before I spend the voucher on more beautiful yarn though.

Hope you have a great weekend!
