odd stuff

Tonight, I ruthlessly sorted out my stash. Well, my upstairs stash.

I've got 3 huge bags of stuff to get rid of, and this is the basket of leftovers/random balls bought on a whim/other stuff.

In theory, I have enough yarn to se me through 30+ projects. In reality, I'm itching to get to Stash, as they have wishlists, and I know I've been very good of late :)

My carnaval pal


alpaca

Today was Carnaval del Pueblo in Southwark, which was amazing. One stall had a life-size toy alpaca, and they were very amused that I wanted to have a photo taken with it.

In other news, my subscription copy of Interweave Knits arrived yesterday, and it has a number of bookmarks for future projects.
