::When it arrived I was delighted to find a lovely ball of Louisa Harding Kimono Angora Pure from Lisette's stash in the wonderful teal colour that is her favourite. Lisette suggested I might like to try one of Louisa's scarf designs the Juliet scarf::
::But that was not all - also in the package was a knitting kit for a cupcake pin cushion by Spud & Chloë, a "knitted" china mug with some Downton Abey "downton estate blend", a classic earl grey black tea with vanilla, from The Republic of Tea which has now become my favourite blend of all time::
 |
| Box of delights |
::It was absolutely the most considerate and exciting package that a knitter could open and I would like to say a big thank you to Lisette for her kindness::
 |
| Progressing well so far |
::I have also been trying my hand at sewing again lately and have these projects on the go::
- A table top quilt
- A lap quilt
- A trial scoop neck top

::I have also been spinning and have made up some Fondant Fibre "Penny Sweets" colour way fibre with co-ordinating colour for heel and cuffs for some socks::
 |
| "Energized Singles" part of The Knitgirllls Expand Your Horizons Spin along in Fondant Fibres MCN blend |
::The strangest knitting project I did this month was a teeny tiny bobble hat which my daughter asked me to make as part of a picture she was making to give to a friend on his birthday::
 |
| This has to be the smallest item I have ever knitted it probably measures 2.5cm (1/2") at the most |
