Red Brolly Swap

I had Jo as my partner and I made her the Teana Purse. It wasn't what I was planning to make initially, but that pattern has hidden itself. So at the last minute - literally - I was stitching the purse to the clasp. Was very happy with it when it was done.

I received from Jenny - a gorgeous Sewing Carry All, pincushion and a notepad. I have made this for someone else but never for myself, so I am just rapt - thank you so much Jen, they are really beautiful!





It's Material Girls on Monday night, so I will be taking my new bag and pincushion with me to show off!

When Jo was here last time, she mentioned that she liked the scarf I had hanging from the chair - took a photo to put on my blog and still haven't - and that she wouldn't mind a red one. No red to be found, but a ball of marroon/purple found it's way over to the parcel complete with its own pattern! Happy knitting!


This is the scarf I was telling you about, Peg!  Same yarn, just turned around the other way - I bought it in London last year - Sirdar Salsa.
Haven't seen it here yet but we tend to be about 12 months or so behind, hehehehe
