I had no idea that so many people celebrated Valentines day! I also had no idea how many of you are born on or have loved ones born around Valentines day. Thank you all so much for your comments, I read and appreciated every single one of them.

Myself personally, I don’t really celebrate Valentines day. I like the lead up to it much better than the day. The chocolates, reds and pinks and all the buzz! C was kind enough to buy me roses one year, but when I learned the price of flowers on that day I asked him not to do it again…any other day is fine though! Most of the time I get a little treat for my mom and call her to wish her a happy Valentines day. She always made the day so fun that I seem to focus more on her than my guy. We really do a good job of expressing ourselves on a daily basis and often have special time alone as it is just the two of us (and simon and yarn) in the house.

So, by this time you are probably starting to scan for the contest winner, I will no longer bore you with my love life mush!

Congratulations Elizabeth! Please check your email and enjoy your shopping!

Now, on to knitting

I am happily test knitting the Gale stole for Anne.

The yarn is Funky Carolina Lace in a soon to be listed colourway. If you are desperate for it please email me…it’s stunning!

I am also working on another design for mag knits to be released in the spring. When I know exact dates I will let you know!

The yarn is Hip Knits Aran Silk…it is quite lovely!

We also have a huge week of updates next week!

Dream in Color Baby and the new colours in Smooshy, Avery Allison Yarns, Dyed in the wool handmade, Cashbah (seriously), a few new colours of Camelspin, Seacoast Handpainted and Zen Strings Merino Tencel!

I also replenished stock on Shelridge farms and Dream in Color Classy!
