Happy Day

What a wonderful day I had, Little Lixie came to visit and brought pressies not only did she bring Millie's Cookies (how did she know that they were my weakness) and she also brought me pressies from the Hand Weavers Studio
Look Presents 

There is some dyed silk in front and some camel and some Yak, I can't wait to get the angora off my drop spinner to give it a go.
We ended up doing some dying I had some yarn to dye for a Yarnsmith Order and Lixie brought what I think is DK hank of wool with her. She ended up with the most beautiful hank of yarn that looks like a sunrise, she also dyed a hank for the order in beautiful lilacs and pinks.
Hard at work 

Unfortunately this is the only picture I have of the afternoon as my batteries ran out in my camera. But trust me that yarn is orange and pink with a hint of red.
It was so nice to have company in the studio especially someone who loves yarn as much as me.

I also heard from my edgy recipient today and she was very happy with the finished bag which means I can now post pictures.
Finished Bag 

I know what was all my whinging about, it was all that plain stocking stitch I've never been very good at doing something plain.

I'm glad she liked it though as I assume everyone else does there is always a sense of self doubt.
I also recast on the peacock with the four ply I got from Get Knitted this morning (pictures when I get a little further on).
I rounded off the day witha selective gathering at Libertys just a few of us this evening and I almost resisted the sale but did only purchase for my SP5.
And to finish off my day perfectly I got home in time for 'House' forget Big brother this is my new must see.
Finally a couple of pictures to prove I do actually have two cats At rest a rare sight
