Yummy green regia silk sock yarn, and lovely blue (blue-er than in the pic) Drops alpaca. Mmmm.
I left it a bit late in the day for taking pics in the sun, so this one isn't great, but there are coffee-flavoured chocolate 'beans', lovely 'afternoon' tea from Whittards, Divine dark chocolate (which someone seems to have eaten some of), body wash, a gardening mug, and stitch markers (my very first!)
and a fold of knitting patterns, with lots of patterns from my Ravelry queue printed out ready to go! And a lovely notebook. What a cool parcel - thanks Monica!
Also, this weekend I finally made my nephews birthday present (only about 3 weeks too late - and it still has to get to Australia, but you know, good intentions etc etc). Janelle, look away now if you want a surprise!
A book bag, complete with books! I am really quite proud of this - I made it up in my head, and it came out pretty good. The handles aren't attached very neatly (don't look too hard) - they should have been sewn in between the outside & the lining, but my brain switched off, so I sewed them on later (I figure a three year old won't notice too much!). And I love this fabric (its from Moda, an Ebay purchase) - it used all of a fat quarter. And as a reminder to myself, there are some unfinished objects to blog about next time!
