I couldnt resist the pink lucky dip at Lush yarns the other week. The blue and green lucky dips were gone and after seeing what people got in theirs I thought I would try my luck with the pinks! Turns out it was a good choice, beautiful colors in the surprise package. From left to right we have Miley, Polly and Little Princess. They are all silk/merino yarns which was what I used in my first sock club package and it was beautiful to knit with and wear too, lol! I must not knit with these yet however as I still have nearly 1 sock left to knit from my April sock club and then the May package will be arriving soon too so maybe these can just be yarns to snuggle and look at for a little while. I havent been knitting on the sock as I have been knitting an Olearia for Isabelle which is halfway done. I hope to have it finished by the weekend so she can perhaps wear it soon when this weather makes up its mind. One day sunny, the next rainy, and then freezing cold and gray the next. Well we do live in Melbourne and they say it changes all the time, I should be used to it by now shouldnt I.
On the weekend we also went to Paul's grandmother's 90th birthday. It was very nice and she caught up with some people she had not seen for at least 20 years. She is just a gorgeous tiny little lady whom I love very much and I hope to one day be able to attend her 100 year birthday too. She just never ages or changes which is just so wonderful. Now I must start knitting her something special for her birthday as she said no pressies at the party, but didnt mention anything about later on did she! I am sure she will love it if I knit her something, maybe a nice blanket for her to use in her recliner as I dont really think she wears shawls, although perhaps a nice simple one without lace would be nice for her to wear. Any suggestions ......
