You may have read over at alltangledup that Polly attended a Debbie Bliss workshop at the week-end.
Unfortunately I could not go as my very good friend Joanna was getting married and her twin sister Emma was bridesmaid. I have known Emma since she joined the RBS where I work 12 years ago and I have become good friends with Joanna too.
Emma and Anna waiting for Joanna at the church - yes she was late
Jill Richards also attended the workshop and to make up for me not being able to go Jill kindly agreed to see if there was a copy of Debbies new book Simple Living to buy. Hey presto look what arrived in the post this morning
I think this is a great book and there are some lovely home furnishings to knit. I have selected a chosen few which I would love to do at some point.
The cushion is lovely - it is a cabled floor cushion measuring 65cm x 65cm and is knitted in Debbie Bliss cotton denim aran. I have yet to try that yarn so this may just be the project to try it out on.
The lined bag would be lovely for the ensuite to keep my hairbrushes in.
Sock number 2 is almost done - a few more rows and I will be on to the toe shaping. I wonder if it will look the same as sock number 1
opal sock
Anna, I love that pinky/mauve coat - it is a gorgeous colour and really suits you! I've just started a pair of socks in Opal pale green - 'Magic" to knit in the car on the way tomorrow - can't remember if your Opal sock was one of the same series?
