Well, another year is almost over and when I look back I think I’ve done ok this year! I’ve achieved a lot, we’ve all stayed fit and healthy and Lola is learning to behave herself more and more each day!
This year I had my Secret Santa parcel from Sarah and she sent me the most beautiful box of goodies which Lola helped unwrap.
She was most excited to uncover this gift,
While I was much more excited to uncover this little pile of gorgeousness,
I’m not sure I managed to squeeze everything into the photo - I know it doesn’t include the lovely spinning basket she made (hem hem, made a bit of a faux pas with that one!), needless to say everything was absolutely fantastic.
The book that is peeking out at the bottom is fabulous (as you all know I’m a sock knitter at heart) and, not only is it fabulous, it is signed as someone very clever did some of the test knitting!
I have already started to knit one of the patterns - here is a quick look at how far I’ve got. Thank you sooo much for everything.
Which only leaves me to with you all a very Happy New Year and I will be back in 2012.
That looks a great Secret Santa selection from Sarah.I had a lovely box from Claire but she has said nothing about mine.I am getting worried she didn't get it.Have you any way of contacting her for me?Blogger won't let me send a message.I wondered if you had her e mail address.
ReplyDeleteThat was the sock pattern I test knit - it looks lovely in that yarn.
ReplyDeleteJust in case you think I am clever (I'm not) the signing was nothing to do with me doing the test knitting - I just happened to know that Alice did a whole pile while she was doing a book launch at loop and so I ordered a couple of copies. I think it is a really lovely book though and am over the moon to have my name mentioned in it!
Glad you liked the goodies, I was over the moon with mine and Ted says thank you secret santa for his;)
Happy New year to you all too! Sxx
Love the sock so far!!!! Wishing you a happy, healthy, creative and peaceful 2012. Ros
