Mum's Birthday card

I made my Mum a Birthday card for her Birthday in September 2008

Thank you cards

August 2008 again.

Some cards I made for my US friends to say thank you for their generosity.

I decided to give them a stitch marker each so tried to incorporate them into the cards

this is Katie's

and this is Deneese's

To be honest I couldn't work out how to incorporate Deneese's stitch marker so it's sort of a book mark thingy

Another beanie hat

I can never decide which photo's look better which is why you tend to get inundated with photo's from me...for instance, I made this beanie in August 2008 (same pattern as the one I made for Adeline) for my friend Deneese's daughter (Charlotte)... I took one picture with the flash on and one without...I dislike both photo's for different reasons so you're getting them both :oP

With flash

I tried the hat on Rheya again...I need to make sure I made them right after all

I really need to make Rheya one, I think they really suit her.

I've had permission to steal this because it's just too cute to not!


Charlotte says thank you from Deneese Owen on Vimeo.

*melts*

Is she not the cutest!?!

Texere Yarns

I heard about local yarn shop called Texere Yarns, so one morning in August 2008 my friend Helen came over with her baby girl, Zoe. Then we drove over to Bradford to spend some money in the HUGE wool shop...well it was more like a warehouse...for anyone who likes yarn, this place was so drool worthy.

It was on three floors, the first floor had 3 different rooms full of yarn, including WOOL! Actual wool, BFL, Merino, Angora, the lot! It was handdyed, factory dyed, natural waiting to be dyed and they even had roving for you spinners. Seriously, this place was amazing!

This is a picture of one of the 4 aisles on the second floor.

and Rheya had so much fun running up and down the aisles

I was too spoilt for choice and as a result couldn't decide what to buy so I only bought these

the hook at the top is a Tunisian crochet hook, I have no idea how to use it but I was so curious that I just bought it...I'll learn later.
