Hooray for...

The Wool Warehouse and oh! my! goodness! me! Super, super cheap wool. Good grief - we pay around 9 pounds for the cheapest ball of sock wool in New Zealand. A country with millions of sheep. The wool is even cheaper from the prices displayed on the Wool Warehouse website,  as tax is deducted before it is shipped out to NZ. Even without the sale prices, it is super cheap for me. Needless to say, a grand order is on its way to me - should keep me out of mischief all winter long. I think my knitting mojo is back - I've knitted over half a pair of socks this weekend and also started and finished 2 dishcloths in 8 hours today! Exam study does that to me...

Winter is here! Rain for days, but enough dry weather to get some washing mostly dry yesterday. We have had huge amounts of rain this week.


For surprise gifts bought to me by a great friend - Crown Lynn plates. I adore them!

 And more gifts from another friend -
