something old,something new, something borrowed and something blue

No I'm not getting married, :)

the something old is the blue splash, i found it in my stock cupboard today, and thought oh I forgot I had that, so I've listed it, http://www.etsy.com/listing/25031092/blue-splash-ponchocape-last-one-in-this?ref=v1_other_2

Something new, is the blue summer poncho, http://www.etsy.com/listing/79043897/sapphire-blue-summer-poncho

something borrowed is the charcoal cape (new images) http://www.etsy.com/listing/61000465/charcoal-and-slate-luxury-shawl-ltd

and well you can guess the something blue.

Refresh

I feel Refreshed this week, this is because since Friday, the sun has shone in London none stop, such bliss, it's now Tuesday, and still we have sun,

I feel like I've had a weeks holiday despite working 16 hour days, But how nice it is to take my work outside and feel those warm rays.

Sadly rain and storms are expected from tomorrow onwards, just in time for my journey to Wales this weekend, to spend some relaxing time with my family, which is long overdue.

Hope you like the new 'Refreshed' images.

Leg Warmers

This week I had a custom order for some leg warmers, funnily enough this is something I've never knitted up before.

I figured I'd need some lovely images of a these warmers before they went in the mail tomorrow, I had an image in my head that they should be on a dancers foot, wearing ballet shoes, So this morning I headed of to my local dance studio, I checked out the ballet class, (which I'm now tempted to join on sunday mornings) however, most of the dancers where older ladies with rather large ankles ~(sorry I have nothing against this, but I needed a slim young leg, to capture that image in my head) . , Luckily on my way out, i looked in one of the other studios, ~(it's very much a dance studio where professional dancers rehearse for major shows ) and there I saw these dainty little pink feet, and thought she's just perfect, and to my surprise and luck, she was happy to oblige me in my request to capture some images.

So I'm totally happy this evening with these rather beautiful ballet shoe/leg warmer shots.

Lunch out

This afternoon the sun was shinning the air was hot, and so a lazy afternoon beckoned,

Mr iLE AiYE and I headed off to a riverside pubhttp://thecrabtreew6.co.uk/ , just up the road from home, a relaxing bite to eat, followed by a sit down on the walk-way next to the river, the image of the river looks a little bleak, but after many weeks of dull wet weather in London, this was heaven for us today. Rounded off by a lay down in our local park, I think today was just what the doctor ordered, to re-charge our batteries.

Perhaps I have ocd

given I just can't get enough of this yarn, I've found two more shades in this lush Bamboo yarn, a dusky turquoise blue and a purple, deee-lish....

Discontinued yarns = ltd edition garments.

I'm so sad to report that this yarn has now been discontinued, :((((

I'll be spending some shiney pennies to stock up on a good amount of yarn, but how long this will last who knows,

Some new pictures

I happily stumbled upon some more of the ivory bamboo yarn this week, which not only allowed me to make some more fringe sweaters http://www.etsy.com/listing/74749683/ivory-bamboo-fringe-sweater but also meant I could knit a few bamboo shrugs in that shade to.

I'm also trying to update some old images, so here's the blue click-it with an updated look.
