First up is the picture of the wonderful Lodge we stayed in at Carroty Wood,
hornbeam house
Unfortunately as normal I can't post pictures of the kids for obvious reasons but I can't wait to return to find out how they remember their weekend away.
Next up are the wonderful earings that Annarella sent me to match my stitch markers, they are absolutely perfect.

This is the scarf made from my hand dyed lace weight and hand spun hopefully to be turned into a kit.

And this is Wendy's Knitwit knited up, now I ordered this online, just one ball just to see what it was like only to find when it arrived no instructions, so thanks to Yvonne I managed to knit this on larger needles that suggested and even so there is no way that two balls will make a scarf. Not sure what I am going to do with this yet.

Beautiful, just beautiful lace yarn :) Ah, and Afgan 3 is my favourite xx
Nic, the blocks look great! I love seeing them in different colour combinations.
Those are gorgeous..what a fabulous afghan throw they'd make.
Ooooh, lovely crochet blocks - I almost feel inspired to have a go myself. Great to hear a bit about what you've been up to!

Loved the blocks. My fav in the book is the one of your no. 3. Just finished it - after making a real pig's ear of my first attempt. My excuse was I was poorly when I started it...
I got a short and narrow (but lovely) scarf out of 2 balls of Knitit on 3.75mm needles. it is just long enough to make a simple knot at the neck. one of the 9-year olds in my knitting class "borrowed" it from me and she was able to wrap it properly round her neck. I had a hard time getting it back, which was amazing, as I'd used grey and the young lady in question normally only goes for pink!
