There was an Amazon package in the post today. I suspected an order on my husband's part, since I haven't ordered anything lately. But then again, he uses the my amazon account to place orders and I probably would have noticed an email thanking me for ordering 'A Very Boring Book on Finance'. So it was almost like a surprise gift - although it turned out it was a gift from me!
I ordered Vogue Ultimate Knitting about two months ago and it was out of stock. I must have somehow missed the email notifying me that it was finally dispatched (I ordered a few gifts for others recently so I probably thought the email was for that...) I haven't had that much time to look at it yet, but this book looks brilliant. Pages and pages of techniques all clearly laid out. It seems like it will be a reference book I'll use over and over again.
We were also away on a brief sailing trip to Greece and when I got home I had my sock yarn of the months, some stitch markers and needles from a ravelry karma swap waiting for me. What fun!
Instead of joining a sock club, I thought it would be nice to try a different brand every month. This month I ordered some lovely yarn from the yarn yard in the one-off colour "surprise": a heathery, brownish, reddish, purplish variegated yarn. It seems like a perfect colour for some autumnal socks when the seasons change again... Delivery was ultra fast and the yarn feels gorgeous.
The stitch markers are from See Jayne Knit look beautiful and appear very well made. They already grace one of my knitting projects :-) Finally, the double pointed needles from BatOutOfHell are the result of a swap on the UKarma group on Ravelry. So despite the fact I haven't been doing much knitting related shopping this month (only the stitch markers and the sock yarn - doing well!) I can't complain about a lack of packages.
