Birthday Gifts

Hello, hope you are having a lovely week! Mine has been quite busy which has been good. It was my Birthday last week and i spent the day helping Russ on a building job...not quite what i had in mind, but i got paid so i can't moan too much. This is how i looked half way through the day....


I had some lovely knitting gifts :)



A dye your own sock yarn kit.


Gorgeously squishy aran yarn.




Some self striping sock yarn from Twisted Limone in the Pippin colourway, which i am saving until i have gotten better at knitting socks.

I also got some new wellingtons. I was so excited about these, so was Fee...she associates wellingtons with walks :) They look a funny colour in the photo??




My Christmas gift knitting is not going very well..the list keeps growing as Russ keeps adding things to it. Now i have 2 hats and 3 scarves to finish. Two of them are in chunky wool so those will be quite quick, and i have finished my Mom's scarf so that's one present complete, i just need to get it blocked.

Take Care and have a great day xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Happy birthday for last week! Lovely yarns.... I expect you'll enjoy not having a long list of pressies so that you can get to them. That pic of you brings back dusty cold memories of helping gary out on my house works. Do you enjoy the odd day doing it? I think I do, but the thought of always wearing dust masks fills me with dread!! Uncomfy and Feel like darth vader listening to my breathing!!

Happy bleated birthday, Alex! Glad you got some lovely knitting prezzies, although it sounds like you are doing more knitting for others than yourself at the mo! I love the idea of dyeing your own wool.
