Sent with love

I'd just blown in off the moors walking my dog when the postie pounded on the back door. His greeting and my thanks were whipped out our mouths by the wind. I shut the door and found I was clutching a rather fat parcel, almost bursting out if it's seams.

It didn't take much persuasion for this wonderful blankie to spring out, complete with gorgeous ribbon and note from Linda from Chalky's World



THANK YOU LINDA!

And as if that wasn't enough, Linda also tucked in a 'small' ball of yarn!
'Small' *snorts* I jest, she tucked in a 400gm ball of DK
just think how many squares that would make!!


THANK YOU LINDA!

*****************************************
I have also been given bags of cones of knitting machine wool, 
which I am re-winding into manageable sizes, 
below is a small selection of (approx) 40 balls. 
There are still 8 - 9 cones still to go!

THANK YOU SHARON 
AND YOUR LONG-SUFFERING OTHER HALF!!



Must stop now, got to go to work, but when I return, I shall continue sorting out wool to share out with all the lovely ladies here in the village who are happily making squares and blankets.

What a good way to start the week! Hope your Monday started off as brilliantly as mine :)

  2. I agree with Jak! Lovely colours and free too! Been very windy indeed. Glad you were not blown away (apart from when you unwrapped the parcel).
