My New Toy

The vintage Dutch yarn swift I bought off Ebay arrived yesterday and it is so much more beautiful than I hoped - a beautifully carved and lovingly constructed work of art.  I love it to bits.

Here it is posing with some new yarn.  Ravelry is going to bankrupt us.

Why is all the equipment and stuff associated with knitting just so gorgeous?  It used to be so much easier to resist in the days of utilitarian metal needles and scratchy acrylic yarn.

Found your blog through a google image search for 'Gisela Graham'!

Have had great fun looking through and seeing your lovely stories and photos.

The yarn above is absolutely beautiful!

    Hey you! Well done! Now, what I've never managed is the perfectly spherical, perfectly flat layers of cake ready to ice that seem to be the foundation of any non-homemamde-looking cake... Mine always look a bit more *ahem* organic....Do you trim, are you lucky or simply incredibly skilled?!?

  • Uncle Beefy on Easy Cake Decorating Idea

    Well done, Paola! It must have taken forever to frost that cake...?!?! But, what a delightful impact! :)

    Looks like there is a insurance company that is finally offering accident coverage specifically for the iphone. Even if you have already had it for a while. I got coverage for both my 4gb iphone and my 30 gb video ipod.
