A Woolly Latte Anyone?

A little bit of knitting has been done this week and no paper crafts at all. Here is my Woolly Latte, it looks cute but I must say that when i sat down last night and had my much anticipated Latte (remember i am only allowed one a day) i was a little disappointed as it felt like i had a mouth full of fur every time i took a sip. Now this didn't put me off as i had some left over yarn and made another one. I think they would be really cute for gifts with the mug and maybe some choccies inside. My scarf is all finished and i really love it. Love this yarn and the colours. Did i tell you that i am not a scarf person, well i am now.
You know that i spend all of my Sunday mornings ironing, well it wont take as long now. I was very lucky during the week to be given this Steam Maid iron, yes it looks like it came from the 1930's but i tell you what its amazing.

Now when you have super huge feet it is very hard to get any shoes at all and with the winter months coming i must confess to wearing slippers. "If your feet are warm then the rest of you is warm" so my swimming coach used to say. Anyway how could i walk past these cuties at my local supermarket last night. Way to cute (I call them my Susan slipper socks-as Susan loves dots).


I have a busy weekend planned, what have you all got happening.

What a productive week you have had Linda - love your woolly latte cup cover - very cute, and your scarf looks amazing. I have always wondered about those irons - I love steam when I am sewing and seem to go through an iron every 6 -12 months. Will be interested to hear more about yours.

Stay warm!

You are a knitting queen, it all looks so gorgeous! I have been reading knitting fiction this week - 'Knit 2' & 'Knit the Season' (Books 2&3 in 'The Friday Night Knitting Club' series).
