The yarn I used is Adriafil. It came in a kit from Knit and Caboodle, which also includes a pattern and double pointed needles (DPNs). These are bamboo and I find they don't slip out of the yarn when they are not in use. The only problem is they do chip and then the yarn snags on them. Swings and roundabouts!
I have also cut out a pattern to sew my first ever reversible baby dress for my friend, who's just had a baby girl. I'm a bit nervous, if I am honest. I still need to decide on fabrics to use, *all* from my stash! More on this next time.
Finally, I am working on Bobby Bunny Backpack, a test pattern I'm making up for a designer on Ravelry. It's almost finished now, I am just attaching all the parts. Not sure how happy I am with it, I reserve judgement for the finished item.
I am still buying crafty bits, but at least I am also using them! Not much I can say about that. Seems to be a hopeless situation... For Mother's Day, my husband is buying me some pretty storage to help me get more organised. I shall take photos of the lovely, wooden storage units and post them when I write next.
Elly.
