It's been a while!

Have been doing loads of dyeing and have started putting together a colour palette so that custom orders can be taken. Should anyone wish to order some yarn specially dyed for them, please send an email to joanna.harriman@btinternet.com and I'll see what I can do!

Birthday

Well, I am now a ripe old 50!

I have had a wonderful birthday weekend but I am completely shattered! Loads of cards and presents including several gifted patterns, an Easyknits Sushi Roll, stitch markers, beads, yarn, Cath Kidston Mug and knitting bag, lovely little pillow, book .....

I feel thoroughly spoiled!

Bias towards lace

Pergola

Yayyy!

Finished Pergola yesterday afternoon and now it's blocking along with Bias towards Lace!

Have given myself a big pat on the back - two UFO's finished and two complete pattern repeats done on Japanese Feather stole!

September

Big month - 50 in 17th!

September is going to be a finishing off month

Trillo

Bias towards lace FINISHED.

Pergola

Then I want to make the Counterpane Carpet bag so that I can get the accessory bag finished too.

Well,

I have a lovely new computer with a huge 18.5" screen and Windows 7! It's not a laptop which is probably just as well as I really didn't think I would get on very well with one, but dad found this offer on PC World with £130 off so bought me a Norton Antivirus too. Ryan has set it up for me but needs to install the printer and help me work out the benefits of the Windows 7 later on.

I love it!

And I love my very wonderful dad!

Update

I am afraid I will only be online for a short while everyday for a few days as I have no access to a computer other than Ryan’s - my hard drive decided to throw a wobbly and kick the bucket. My lovely dad, the most wonderful dad in the world, is getting me a laptop towards the end of the week but until then I have to be extra nice to Ryan so that he doesn’t mind me using his, which is now made up of bits of his original hard drive and mouse but my monitor, keyboard and speakers!
