I had a lovely time this weekend. On Saturday I made an awesome chicken casserole in the slow cooker and then went out for the day with a friend I have met through work. We went first of all to the farmer’s market at Snape Maltings where I bought a couple of Christmas presents for my mum and her partner.
We then got back in the car and drove to Woodbridge. We went to visit the lovely yarn shop TWIST. Kate needed to get a ball of Cocoon to finish her project and I just like looking at yarn.
After drooling for a little while I ended up buying…
Araucania Botany Lace in a lovely greeny/blue
Schoeller+Stahl Fortissima Color in a manly grey.
The Araucania is for me me me, the Schoeller+Stahl is going to be a pair of socks for my mum’s partner. Maybe one of them will be in time for christmas…
We then had a look around town, got some awesome coffee from Honey and Harvey and picked up some magazines from WHSmiths.
On Sunday after my run in the freezing cold, I settled in with a coffee, a bowl of porridge and my magazines…
I also worked on my second pair of Waterhouse Mitts…
All in all, a brilliant weekend – a perfect mixture of company, places and relaxing at home. This week should be an alright one at work as last week was more than a little hectic. Also looking forward to next weekend as I’ll be going to a couple of concerts.
Oooh – what great mitts. Are they out of Yarnwise? And what a lovely weekend! Love the reverent way you’re holding the yarn..! x G
Yes, that Araucania is lovely
