knit/lab/high seas I am a bit taken with this. Very Japanese feel to it, for me. In the new blue 3/28NM cashmere, perhaps?

Not really stash
I am fairly sure that this doesn’t count as stash enhancement, seeing as it was gifted to me. It’s Paton’s “Jet” – an alpaca and wool combination chunky weight yarn. I got two balls in a RAK package and fell instantly in love with it.
Crocus Hat
A quick and easy hat from Grumperina.
I needed a close-fitting hat and this quick and easy project fitted the bill.
Knitted in Hug from The Yarn Yard.
Not So Random Acts
I need to record the receipt of three RAK parcels, all originating from Ravelry’s UK Random Acts of Kindness group.
The first two parcels were from an alphabetic game – participants simply take the next letter free, and the previous participant sends to the new participant. That sounds really odd, doesn’t it? Illustrative Example: I signed up for R, so I received Q. I signed up for E, so I received D.
Confused? You will be! (yes, still watching Soap)
…and, finally…
This is the same yarn as I am knitting the Pink Swallowtail in. The pink Hamsa scarf came off the same cone.
I love this yarn and when I saw the delectable violet blue, I was smitten. Totally.
Further Stash Upgrade
More stash additions – these a bit weightier. Ebay bargains from Kingscraig Fabrics…
