One of James’ friends at work commissioned a pair of egg cosies! I thought they wouldn’t take long to make so I had a go an I must say I am really chuffed with them. I used 4ply sock yarn and 2.5mm needles and had an egg in an eggcup at hand as a size checking device. They needed some kind of tag on the top and I decided that as James’ friend and his girlfriend are quite loved up I should put some hearts on which I think turned out really well. They went off to work with James this morning so I will wait for the feedback! The pattern will be up on the website in the goodies section soon.

We also went to Wonderwool at the weekend and were luckier with the weather than Mary. The kids loved seeing the animals and my son bought himself a drop spindle made from a CD. I was very restrained and just got some alpaca to spin and some cashmere laceweight which I have no idea what I will do with but I had to have it.
