opps new yarn, how did that happen?

being a member of the 'kemp's wool shop fans' group on ravelry is fatal! as it means i am alerted to any new clearance yarns they are getting in, so at the end of last week when they let us all in on the fact they were getting some lovely sublime yarns in stock, i really couldn't resist, an order turned up on Saturday & it was so very lovely that i went back for more! (did i mention they've got free postage on it too at the mo - how could i not!)
so after a fun morning with 24 two - four years, i sat myself down in the garden (nana was entertaining little O) & i cast on for another little cardigan, i'm using the soya cotton in shade 080, & it's lovely lovely to knit with, i have more yarn, waiting in the wings, with project ideas lined up (but i've ever so tempted to buy more!)
i also took in the view of my lovely garden at the moment (& the divine smell of the wisteria) whilst i can, we've got to be out of our house in two weeks, & currently don't have anywhere to move to (eek)

  2. loving the yarn! such a gorgeous denim-y colour. with it being soya-cotton is it better for o's skin? thank you so much for your advice for elsa...another difficult night with crazy scratching of her face...i am so happy to be awake with her now and her hands busy with a rattle!

    wisteria is truly divine i agree...glad you're able to enjoy it before you move. good luck with finding that lovely new nest! x
