After a full on week at work we decided we deserved a day out today and headed on up to Snape Maltings and Aldeburgh. It was more like a late summer day than one in mid-November. The sky was blue, the sun was out and it was so warm and still. Just perfect!
I've not picked up my needles very much this week, just a few rows here and there, so not much progress worthy of sharing. I did receive a lovely swap parcel though, all the way across the pond, from Christine (heidelblogknits).
The yarn is just beautiful and just the kind of colour that I love. It’s Spirit Trail Fibreworks ‘Sunna’ in colourway Winter Sun ( a deep, moody blue black).
There were some gorgeous little card labels to put in with a gifted knitting project. So sweet and such a good idea. Then there were two fragrant teas, one containing lavender, rosemary, spearmint, chamomile and cloves and the other, a mix of spearmint, lemon balm, hibiscus flowers, dried orange, rose petals and clove. I can’t wait to get going on them! The chocolate caramels didn't last long! I felt thoroughly spoilt, as there was also a pot of my favourite hand cream from Woolen Rabbit. Last, but by no means least, we exchanged an Anne Hanson pattern. I received the ‘Sign of Four’ sock pattern, which I’ve wanted to knit for a while now.
Wishing you all a great week ahead!

Hi Ros! Makes me smile, too! What a lovely weather and your packet was filled with so wonderful things! Here it's raining and raining and I would like to start new cowl, but I should finish first my jacket ...
