yarning away

Oh my.. the whole month of november and no post?!
Such is the crazy whirlwind of this work stint!

Last R&R I spent a glorious few days down south with my lovely Mama. We did all sorts of fun, soul-nourishing things so I'll post a few photos over the next couple of days bringing the blog up to speed with R&R.

One of the fabulous adventures we embarked upon was a trip to the nearby yarn store....

Yarning!

We fell over a bit in there, I blame all the glorious yarn fumes....

Freedom
Nice super duper chunky wunky yarn for a beanie for a boy...

Misti blue
Worsted yarn for another beanie for another boy - a nice mix of blues

Misti sand dune
I fell in love with this understated skein and couldn't leave it behind. Something for me maybe? A shawl of some type - I love wearing shawls as scarves :)

Sirdar stash
These rainbow wonders are for a cardigan knit up for my Mama :) I'm already trucking along through it and it's knitting up wonderfully. More on that later!

It was such a fun and delicious day out - we drove through the gorgeous countryside, chatting together all the way, we had some scrumptious snacks and meals along the way to keep us going. We will have to do it all again soon, Mum!

Cripes, I've never seen such chunky yarn! Is your mum knitting something with the super-chunky yarn on the right?

That's a great day out. I recently bought a skein of Misti Alpaca too & it's gorgeous.
