More Goodies :)

Blog was playing up earlier in the week. Hopefully David has fixed it all up :)

Well, my Secret Pal has not just sent me one parcel in the last week or so. Noooo, she sent me 2 :D I am being spoilt rotten!

First she sent me the wonderful Tofutsies. I have never knit with that yarn before. It is absolutely lovely. I feel another set of Tidal Wave socks coming along. Then she sent me some Regia in a gorgeous grey colourway. Again, I have never knit with Regia before. I think that the reason is because I would've had to buy 2 balls of yarn for one pair of socks and 2 balls always seems more than one - even though the weights are the same! Daft, I know. My SP is off to Dublin soon, so I hope you have a wonderful time there.

In other news, I scrapped my Hexagon blankie. Yes. Well, it was funny because the edges puckered and I didn't have a crochet hook large enough to stop the puckering. So, I went on Ravelry (oh, how I heart thee) and searched their blankie options and came across the yo-yo afghan. There are no pictures on the website, just some really funky ones on Ravelry. So thought that this was a good option.

The 'yo-yos' are tiny - about 2 inches across, if even that. However, that means that there is a hell of a lot of weaving of ends. Good thing about the blankie, there is no seaming up. I love that!

There are lots of afghans that I want to make though (damn you Ravelry!). I came across this stained glass blanket from 50 Sensational Afghans and Throws, which is stunning. The Super Mario Afghan is wonderful too. And the pattern is free!!! Daisy Looms is particularly funky also. And again, free!

So many afghans and so little time (and use for them!).
