The postman comethI have a lovely postman.
Look what he brought me.
I have been resisting the temptation to buy the books for at least 6 weeks, so I've done quite well really. 
And the yarn is therapy, honest.

Go on then, describe it all to us. How you can expect us to shop vicariously through you without all the little details I dunno 
I'm not allowed to buy anything until my car is fixed and the new van paid for, so slobbering over other peoples shopping is all I can do!

The two books I have posted in the books section, with links.
The yarn is four hanks of undyed opal sock yarn, 75% wool, 25% polyamide in the usual way. The dyes are ashford acid dyes in red yellow and blue so I can pretend to be six again and mix the colours myself.
I am tending to put the photos and links for the books on the blog, which saves download time for anyone here who is on dial-up....
Oh and the postman's name is Keith.
