Lovely new goodies

I have been hugely lucky enough to win another blog giveaway, the Intertwined book and two bumps of Shetland fibre from Chopped Tomatoes.


I have already started on one of the lovely fibres, the blue and red is the one being used for my beaded yarn trial.

The book interests me a lot, I love handspun but am a bit iffy about art yarn (to be totally honest sometime it gives me the heebie jeebies), I can appreciate the effort in it, the beautiful colours, the sparkles (love some sparkles) but I always have the question "what can you knit it into?!" stuck in my mind. I think it is the fact I can see the effort and the pretty but can't picture a worked up FO that causes my mini brain melt down, I am hoping this super book can fix that.

BTW, this was not meant to be a "go me I won" boasting post, especially as I didn't have to do anything except write a comment on a blog post. I wanted to encourage you all to look at the Chopped Tomatoes pretty, and also to make my little art yarn confession, please don't hate me!
