MIA

Ooer, i've been gone for ages haven't I!! Haven't got an awful lot to show for it either!

Had a lovely Christmas, got a gorgeous Lexi Barnes bag to keep all my jumble in, Elizabeth Zimmermanns Knitters Almanac, and Victorian Lace Today (more on that later). A small knitting haul really, but the Lexi Barnes wasn't cheap so i'm not complaining!

Progress with the KraftyKoala lil online shop of wonders is making progress, see, I have some stock ready to go on now! Need to pull my thumb out and finish off the undyed yarn this week. Still have some sock and dk to do.

And here is the magnificence that is Victorian Lace Today. Lace is my new favourite thing, I love knitting it! I have 200g of Rowan Kidsilk Haze in Violetta to knit up the full hexagon spiders web shawl.

I can't find many pictures of it to show at the minute, but i've tried to take a picture of it from the book with limited success.

Beautiful isn't it. It's my diet shawl, for every time I feel like a huge bar of dairy milk (which believe me with my children at the moment is incredibly frequently) i'm going to knit some. Hopefully by the time it's finished i'll be as thin as her! I can dream!

And that's about it! Short and sweet because my other half is close to throwing the yarn swift (yes the one he made) out of the window as the pegs keep falling out. He's skeining up some merino sock yarn for me to dye, so i'd better help him!

Happy 2007 blogland!
