Fantastic timing - my Rowan Exchange gift arrived this morning - my birthday!
Deb Jenner has excelled herself knitting me the cable socks from One Skein and then indulged my passion for lace knitting by sending a pattern and some fabulous merino laceweight
I've had a very knitterly birthday so far - thanks to everyone who has sent cards and gifts. The yarn content was high much to Matt's dismay but I'm happy I have yarns for 4 lace projects (Misti Alpaca in 2 different colours, Jaggerspun Zephyr and merino lace) and my youngest sister sent me enough Rowanspun Aran to knit a coat. I have patterns for crochet flowers, shawls and hats - I really don't know where to start!

I'm going to miss my evenings at Liberty's. Haven't hooked up with a Vancouver knitting group yet, but will soon, I hope! In the meantime, I'll try to update my knitting blog regularly. Please visit!
