The Diary of a Virgin Sock Knitter!

Look what goodies I recieved from the kind Kim @Ragged Roses. We finally managed to catch up over copious amounts of coffee and the smidgen morsel mouthfuls of danish pastries! What a perfect engagement gift! Of course the lovely couple in the vintage postcard are just like JP and myself!

The ragged heart fits perfectly on my new cupboard - thankyou Kim x

Now - yes, I am a Virgin Sock Knitter! But how exciting is that, look at the colours. After several attempts and quite a bit of cursing I am off!



Mmmmm, yummy! Its been something I have been wanting to do for while, so I took the plunge and bought some wool, needles and a free pattern!
Everywhere I look I see the colours.......

.... carrots, satsumas, red cabbage, even these lovely tulips which gorgeous boys bought for me. I hope all you mum's managed to have a lovely relaxing day.

Oh and here is the other little splurge I had! The book is Vintage Crochet, and written by the lady who owns and runs Loop. It has so many tempting ideas, oh but what so little time I have. Kim and I were discussing that maybe we should have a little book for 'PROJECTS TO DO' and then you could dip in a cross off!

Anyway, if you get a chance, it is a really lovely book if you want something dreamy to look at and fun projects at the same time, go on splurge out!
