This morning I received this book that I ordered from Bol.com ( the Dutch equivalent of Amazon). I simply could not resist it, I just love the look of the one with the red, white and blue border... I can not wait to start this project, it will just be so much fun, I love things that are made up of smaller parts, they seem to finish just that little bit quicker.I have also decided on two other tops to knit, after my success with the first one.


I will have to pick my time to get the yarn though, as I have to go to Amsterdam for it. The next few weeks I will be working full time, and my weekends are pretty much booked, so I fear I will have to bide my time I am afraid. Patience is not my biggest virtue, but it can not be helped.
I am happy to be at least working again for a few weeks, all be it in my old job (long story) as a temp. My colleagues are over the moon, I just think it is funny!
The other thing I did this morning is have a walk around the fleamarket that is held in the middle of town every fortnight. I did not bring my camera, so unfortunately there are no pictures. There was a lot of dross, but there were two stalls that had quite nice utility crockery. I nearly succumbed to the temptation, but did not have enough money on me. Oh well, maybe next time...
Have a fun weekend and do not drown in the rain!

Good news on the work front, even if it's something temporary.
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely prospective projects. I can see why you would like thepink top, the style is very 20's/Bloomsbury don't you think?
Hope you are enjoying the weekend.

ReplyDeleteIk dacht dat t zomer was hihihihi....
Ik hoop dat t morgen mooi weer is kunnen we toch nog iets leuks doen op de zondag :)
What a shame that you have to go into Amsterdam to get yarn. Is there no shops in your town? Or perhaps you live very close to the city. I love your new projects. I am sure you cannot wait to get some yarn and begin. I look forward to seeing them.
