I’m so far behind with myself it’s not funny anymore, so heres a bit of a catch up post.<\/p>\n

first up, after another visit to my GP to get stronger drugs, my consultant appointment was suddenly and unexpectedly moved up by a month – so I now only have to wait 3 weeks before the mystery pain in my hands and wrists starts a proper treatment (and maybe a name!)\u00a0 In the meantime however it was gradually getting worse and worse, resulting in about 15 minutes of crafting a week<\/em>!\u00a0 The new drugs however are very impressive so maybe I’ll be getting some more crafting in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

Back in April I had some friends come stay with me, the lovely V and his partner G.\u00a0 I have long admired V’s beautiful knitting, his colourwork leaves me awestruck and his cabled sweaters bring me out in a sweat just thinking about the hours involved. Under the unwritten knitter’s code, V naturally turned up carrying yarn, and what yarn.\u00a0 Some of my readers will have heard about La droguerie<\/a> in France – the luxury yarn store that sells off the cone and has it’s own ranges of alpaca.\u00a0 This yarn has definitely bumped up my next visit to France!\u00a0 So thanks to V and G’s generosity I now have yarn in my stash that I am overwhelmed with options – want a peek?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

left to right: plumette, alpaga and holst garn.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"plumette\"<\/a>Plumette, the softest lightest beautiful mohair.\u00a0 This colourway (gris tourterelle<\/em>) is the softest grey around a core of palest lilac.\u00a0 I have plans<\/em> for these nearly 500yards, once I get over my fear of them – possibly involving my estonian lace pattern book.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Alpaga is a colourway called Avec lamen du Nord<\/em> and is a 4ply alpaga in the most beautiful mix of soft browns and teals – I’m told an approximation of the translation of the colourway is ‘with the north sea’, and it captures perfectly the colours of the sea on an overcast stormy day.\u00a0 I love this so much that it’s going to take me a while to come up with the perfect pattern.\u00a0 This one might be crocheted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>finally is this gorgeous Holst garn, a 2 strand yarn, one strand bright navy blue and the other black resulting in a sort of tweed effect.\u00a0 This one is 100% wool and is very soft.\u00a0 I’m closest to working this one up – I’m designing as I type!<\/p>\n

Aren’t I a lucky, lucky girl?<\/p>\n

oh, and if you want to catch up with V’s yarn adventures you can here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
