Yarn Heaven!

 OMG! Look what my hubby bought me from New York, U.S!
 Check out this divine colour of alpaca!
 Shimmery!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG! I'm so excited!
He was going to buy me a nice piece of jewelry over there but I said that I would prefer some yarn! Should keep me knitting for a while!:-)

Yarning Along!

I'm yarning along with Ginny today as Kootoyoo is having a Creative Space holiday. The book I'm reading is "Where Women Create: a Book of Inspiration" by Jo Packham and Jenny Doh. I borrowed it from my local library. It is a gorgeous collection of artistic women showing and discussing where they create. Some have stunning studios and some have very tiny desks! They also give tips on being organised and where they get their inspiration from. Most of the artists are mixed media artists, but there are some designers and a knitter! I'm really enjoying reading about other craft/arty women!
As you can see my Lilac Leaves Shawl is coming along well. I'm almost up to the final lace border!
