Thrilling times here in the attic as the Sweet Flower granny blanket is oh-so-nearly finished. I'm currently working down the very last side of the edge-of-the-Edge, AKA the Pink Pointy Bits.
So you can expect a characteristically over-excited Ta-dah post any time soon.
However, in the mean time I thought I might give you a little teasing taster of some very delicious new yarn that's sneaked it's way past Financial Control and in to my hot little mitts.
Can't possibly start a New Year without New Yarn, that would never do.
So here
is
a
weeny
teeny

exciting
little
peek...................................................................................................................
♥♥♥oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhh!!♥♥♥

Gorgeous!
All those things and many more besides.
More coming soon, watch this space.........

Well done Lucy - do hope you can show us how you do those delightful little sweet flower grannies soon - I can't wait to use up some of my Granny stripe leftovers to make a Sweet Flower blanket. Loving that new yarn!

Financial control!!!
I hang my head in commiseration. I always hope that my man isn't here when the post girl arrives with yet another box. I get it on the shelf before he gets home because, to him, that thing is ALWAYS about to spill onto the floor.
I love your colours. This year, I am determined to order a little less grey.
I look forward to your ta-dah!

Looking forward to the ta-dah post.

"Financial Control". Alas, I am financial control and when it comes to yarn, it is SO difficult to be "good". Very difficult indeed. Thanks for the yarn teaser.

Hmm, I really am going to have to come and steal that from you forthwith.

Financial Control! I love it. When I was married I used to sneak my "stuff" into the house, get it put away toot sweet, and burn the bags!
Can't wait to see what you do with those yummy colors of yarny goodness!

Oh, it's beautiful and looks really expensive. Is it merino wool?
Love the colours, as always!
Love from Anna xxx

Don't leave me sitting here too long holding my breathe now. My face is turning RED and I"m about to pass out.
Can't wait to see a more revealing look at this new yarn. From what I can see it looks TOTALLY wonderfully scrumptous. Almost a heather-ie feel to it from what I can see.
Gasping for another breathe,
Kate

Pretty, pretty, pretty!
Hello btw... I've been lurking for ages... just I'd say 'hello' for once!
You've inspired me to learn to crochet this year :)
Posted by: Rebecca | January 18, 2011 at 08:08 PM
ooh, the points, the new yarn and the secrecy getting it in past the financial controls.(My controller is very lax, so I have to press the break pedal myself)
looking forward to your new adventures with the new yarn!
Posted by: mama elf | January 18, 2011 at 08:10 PM
So pretty! Waiting for the big reveal. And all the other goodies that will come out of that new yarn. You're off to a great start to the new year.
Posted by: Melissa P | January 18, 2011 at 08:14 PM
Now that IS a tease :0)
Look at those gorgeous colours...MMMmmmmmmm
Can't wait for the Ta-dahh post or the new yarn one :0)
Have a great week Lucy.

Ooh it looks lovely can't wait to see the reveal! I baked some of your Cheesy Nibbles today with Dylan. They were lovely and great fun to make with a toddler. It went a bit like this, roll and splat, roll and splat! Thanks for sharing the recipe. :)

Can't wait to see the finished blanket and what plans you have for the new yarn :-)
Posted by: Katie | January 18, 2011 at 08:26 PM
I take it financial control doesn't appreciate that if it's in a skein and you have to do the extra work to turn it into a ball yourself its dearer! ;D
Posted by: Paula Kilgallon | January 18, 2011 at 08:41 PM
Lucy, I think you might have to come visit and install some financial control around here (although, by the sounds of it, is yours working????)
That wool looks great, its a great range of colours - what sort of wool is it? Or arent you saying yet?
I like the pink edging on the (nearly ta-day) blanket. Cool.
Keep warm
Cheers
