I received the most amazing pair of socks today from Adrienne! Of course, that's not all she sent, but these are my very first pair of hand-knitted socks and I LOVE them! I never really understood sock knitting, I just thought 'they're just socks, how different can they be?'.... Boy was I wrong! These socks are beautifully knitted in forest-coloured variegated yarn, I even got the spare ball left over from my socks! I can't wait to try my hand at sock knitting. I believe I have been inspired...

At the moment I'm sitting at my desk, sipping some lovely Organic tea and eating delicious french shortbread that my generous buddy sent me; I spent the past 30 minutes taking photos of the goodies I got!

To re-launch my dyeing experimentation, Adrienne sent me this super-cool Kool-Aid Dyeing Kit, complete with a ball of yarn to play with:

I recieved a lovely blog award from Purpley a few days ago! The ! *heart* your blog award works like this: When awarded, you pick at least 7 other people to award. I do dislike horrible, disorganised, link exchanges, but the I *heart* your blog is more personal... I feel its a nice way for you to show appreciation for your fellow bloggers, a chance for others to know what blogs you enjoy, and to gain a little more recognition for your blog within your chosen 'genre'!
