You know when you lose confidence in what you are doing, and get wracked with doubt that you are doing the right thing?  Well that was me today, and the last few days, if truth be known.  Really down in the dumps.  But two things have changed that. 

Firstly the lovely ladies, my new friends, at the knit and natter, where the conversations rolled gently round and ebbed and flowed in a way I haven’t experienced anywhere else.  I’m glad I went. I so nearly didn’t. 

Secondly, I received a new delivery of yarn and fibre, a huge boxful, and I am really excited about a couple of new yarns I’ll be trying.  One is an aran weight in baby alpaca, merino and bamboo for you guys who fancy something a bit thicker.  I am going to bag some of this one because I have been itching to do Ysolda’s Liesl cardigan.  I don’t usually try and knit bigger things for myself-I never finish them-but I can see this in a semi solid deep rose, or perhaps a lavendery blue.

So, thankyou all.  This may just work out. xx

So there’s a little more Tiptoe going up today, and some bigger Bluefaced Leicester rovings.  More driying on the line. Here’s a nice piccie to get you looking!

Tiptoe in a semi solid red/deepest rose,

and a Bluefaced Leicester swirl in cheery colours to brighten up a very grey mid August day!
