I stopped blogging partly because my aunt died on Halloween 2008. She was the main reason for continuing. Also, I am not really a blogger – it’s not my favourite media but since I really enjoy the blogs that I do follow, I thought why not try again? I have made a lot of progress in my knitting since I first started 3 yrs ago and I am even looking into buying a spinning wheel, but more on that in other posts.
Onto knitting stuff: Tempted so many times, I finally picked up a skein of Alpaca with a Twist Fino in colour 3001 “ruby slippers”. I was completely inspired by the colours of the peaches and mangos yesterday morning so I think when I saw this colour that was so close to the natural colours of the fruit, I had to buy it:
I have cast on for the Whisper Cardigan [via ravelry] in this Spring 2009 Interweave magazine with the yarn.
Here’s to new beginnings – I know Yvonne looked forward to my updates through the blog so I named it after her. The house that she lived in was called Welford, named after the village she and my dad are from in England (Welford-upon-Avon). Cheers.
Welcome back to the blogisphere. Looking forward to your new posts. Good luck!
Though I obviously didn’t know her, I’m sure your aunt would be honoured :)Looking forward to reading!
I’m so glad that you’ve decided to continue blogging. Yvonne wasn’t the only one who looked forward to your posts. I’m sure she would be glad you’ve decided to continue to.
