Misty Blue Alpaca:)

 Golly, what a week! I received some gorgeous yarn from Purlwise, Cascade baby alpaca in Misty Blue. It is not as blue as I expected but I'm planning a shawl with darker blue sparkly beads, which I think will bring out the blue more in the yarn. I have finished one of the Nancy Bush Birch Socks. I love this pattern and am enjoying knitting them with my new needles, which are beautiful. I've started the second one on the needles now.
Below, I am still on the edge of the Bella Botanica http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/search#query=bella%20botanica. I am placing beads every other row and it is exciting getting nearer to the end! I'm looking forward to blocking this one.





Finally, my lovely hubby bought me this skein winder for my birthday:) It was a surprise and I am so happy! I love it! I also got some fabulous books; Lace, One-Skein Wonders by Judith Durant,The gossamer Webs Design Collection by Galina Khmeleva and 20Ways to Draw a Tulip by Lisa Congdon. I felt very spoilt and love all the books!
I am loving knitting all my projects at the moment and am planning some designs of my own in April. Happy Knitting!:)

    Tee-hee, my hubby got me a swift for Christmas a few years ago and he likes to joke that it's saved him lots of tired arms. Love that misty blue yarn!
