A themed RAK on Ravelry’s UK RAK group gave me an opportunity to make two test drives in one pass. I wanted to test out some chunky yarn that I had from eBay and I also wanted to see what an unblocked chunky Butternut Scarf would emerge like. The theme was “red,” the recipient enjoys dark reds, the yarn that I had was a rich deep dark red – it had to be done!

One of those days
It’s a glorious good-to-be-alive day. One of those Orcadian days that make all the wet and wind worthwhile. I would love to be out and about with my camera. Unfortunately I need to be at my desk, with my book project. Only… things haven’t panned out very well…
Spinning Day
I failed to get any spinning done but I did knit on my latest project, though not much – a poor night left me feeling very lacklustre today. I am approaching the end of the second ball, nonetheless.
Spinning was chez moi again. We had the “Queen Mum’s Cake” today, and it slipped down very nicely, thank you…
The postman came…
RAK goodness and much other stuff in today’s post.
There was yarn.
There was fibre.
There was chocolate.
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.
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)
