Family Day Out

A lovely day out with the family to St. Ives. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful county. We sat in a lovely restaurant overlooking the harbour from the 1st floor and watched as the tide rushed it's way in.



Then I went to a fab wool and craft shop called The House of Bartlett where I increased my stash by four balls. It was very hard to limit mysef to this as the shop has a wonderful range.


What am I planning to knit with them? No idea! I have a terrible habit of buying yarn because I like the colour, texture, feel... but not really knowing what I'm going to do with it. Does anyone else do this?  I tend to knit small projects so I don't buy in large quantities and so far haven't run out in the middle of something. I think I might use the King Cole Inspire to make myself some fingerless gloves. I saw some very funky ones in a Joules shop recently but they were quite expensive and thought 'I could do that'. We will see!

There was also a bargain find in another shop. My dear hubby has put up with my piles of wool, half finished projects, needles, patterns and knitting magazines cluttering our lounge for some time now, but no more! This basket is the perfect solution. It will hold all my current projects and look quite stylish in the room. I might have to change the fabric though for something a bit more colourful.
