Presents
Some wrist warmers I made as gifts (totally copied from here, where the font she uses on her labels is actually a little like my normal handwriting! - and I have just used a Kikki-K stamp).


I got this impressive line up of crochet hooks for Christmas. I snapped a 5.5 mm plastic hook, so looked on ebay for metal ones and found this going cheap and ordered it. Then Mum asked me what I'd like for Christmas and I said 'well you can give me this' and handed it over (then got a big surprise on Christmas morning :)). There's more hooks in there than I'll probably ever use, especially down the wincy end, but I like my little zip-up cache of them anyway.

I scored when I ducked into Vinnies the other day while waiting for a bus, finding this bag of Patons bluebell pure wool for the sum total of $3. It even has a David Jones sticker on it (it must be years and years since David Jones sold wool!). The only problem is the colour, which I am calling "maize", but I am sure I will think of something to make with it.
