Emma's Birthday Present

I have just finished this shrug for my friends daughter who will be turning 10 next week.

It is made from a wool blend on 4.5mm needles and my own pattern.

Hope she likes it.

Also I made some fingerless mittens for her, so she can wear them when working with her horse in the winter.

Shopping Spree

When to the shops today to buy my sister a birthday present.


When I found myself inside my local Spotlight store.
I went searching for a present for my sister, but I could not see anything that would suit her.
Thats when I realised I was in the knitting section. How did I get there.

This is what I came home with.

4 x 50gms of the pinks Anchor Magicline 100% Cotton Needle size 4.5mm @ $1.50 per ball
4 x 50grms of the Blues Anchor Magicline 100% Cotton Needle siz 4.5mm @ $1.50 per ball
I think I will mark these down for some dish cloths.
2 x 50grms of Hues of Opulence 100% Cotton Needle size 3.25mm. @ a $1.00 per ball

More dish cloths.

6 x 50grms of Moda Vera Supremo in Light Pink 100% Cotton Needle size 4.00mm @ $1.00 per ball

2 x 50grms of Moda Vera Supremo in Dark Pink 100% Cotton Needle size 4.00mm @ $1.00 per ball

This is to knit my new neice a top with.

2 x 100grms of Lion Brand Magic Stripes sock yarn in Blues & Whites 75% Superwash 25% Nylon Needle size 3.5mm.


1 x 100grms in the Blues, Whites & Browns. @$1.00 per ball

Now I will need to learn how to knit socks.





10 x 50grms of Moda Vera Merinos Fine 100% wool Needle size 4.00mm @ $1.00 per ball I bought all they had in this one. As it is going to be for me.

So now I am $35.00 poorer but have enought yarn to knit with.

I did get my sister a present from the Kitchen shop a platter & some candles.
