I picked up a couple of lovely notebooks in Czechia last fall. I think I already showed you one. Here is another, and even prettier with my pink pencil. You know my obsession with school supplies. Once I found my perfect pencil I buy all the colors. What better place to keep pens and pencils than a Burt kitten pencil bag.
Mellie prefers the real Burt. She has made an excellent supervisor while I work from home. At least she does while she is awake.
You'll forgive my bad photo but once things started to loosen a few months ago I put in an order for some new tools. I had plenty of time to think about what I use most and wanted more of and a few new to me things that I wanted to try out.
I have managed to finish a few things too, like these socks. And today I finished a shawl on a very hot day. No pictures since whew not today. This was yarn I received from a blog drawing a while ago. I kept thinking I needed to find a perfect pattern for them but changed my mind and am happy with plain knitting.
Like I said I had plenty of time to think about getting some new things. Since all the festivals are canceled, I've been doing a bit of online shopping. The bottom right yarn is already on the needles, yes new needles from above too.
Keep on trying to be kind to each other.
I've been doing little spurts of yarn shopping here and there. I ended up at a yarn shop in Nanaimo the other day and picked up some yarn that I had been eyeing up for a long time. I got a nice surprise when I found out my loyalty card was all filled up and I got $10 off!
ReplyDeleteOh that is lovely, yarn that finally convinced you to take it home and at a discount. I look forward to seeing it.
