Alexandra's Quilt and Anniversary cake

This is a long time in coming,
I find I lose the confidence in blogging the more time I leave it. Also there are such amazing blogs out there, eg this one . plus my difficulties with this computer compared with the laptop, my confidence is way down there somewhere.




anyway I thought this anniversary cake was amazing, there are some very clever people out there.
Talking about clever people,Alexandra brought this amazing quilt in to show me, what a lot of work and time she has put into this, she is going to give it to a friend in France. lucky friend

Twins?

Meet Alistair and Hector........Their Jumpers have been knitted by Hectors Granny
Alastair's jumper is knitted in 4ply sock yarn ( I think this is my favourite pattern )
Hectors jumper is knitted in dk pure wool, he saw his Grandads jumper and wanted
one like it.
I think both turned out wonderful ... and what great models too.

Rialto Aran

It is sooooo nice to get back into the shop amongst wonderful wool again,
Yesterday I had one of those days where everything I did seemed to go wrong, but today is Saturday, it is Knitting morning and then working in the shop,
this is just a sample of the lovely yarn that we have in:-

We have some new Debbie Bliss- Rialto Aran yarn in, and are about to get even more in.

We have lots of lovely buttons in and I will try and show you them tomorrow

no knitting group this Sat morning,

there will be no knitting group this Sat morning in St Abbs, why don't you come to Perth for the day, why not just come and knit or crochet for the whole day!!!!!!!!
Or why not go on down to Trudi and grab a chair and keep her company.
