A night of yarny goodness

Linden was knitted using Artesano Alpaca Aran in Sunset. I love the yarn, I love the pattern, the jacket has been worn daily since I finished it and last night at I KNit it was nearly hijacked by 4 other knitters so I think I can say it was a success!

A couple of weeks ago I'd planned to attend a knitting event in Brighton, life conspired against me. Last night I received a taster of what I had missed thanks to Liz and Wibbo's Words

The yarn is one of Wibbo's Works and is a great organic Australian merino with the fantastic name of "Barbie Takes a Trip".

Liz very kindly bought me a raffle ticket and I ended up the winner of this

Thanks to both of you for giving me such a treat!

ps I've started saving for next year's event!
