Weatherwise it&#8217;s been very wet and me-wise I&#8217;ve got a stomach bug. Took today off work because it was so bad. I&#8217;m hoping I&#8217;ll feel better in the morning but it hasn&#8217;t eased up yet.<\/p>\n<p>Xmas knitting &#8211; I made several scarves, two pendants, a pair of socks and a pair of mittens &#8211; kept me away from blogging but here is the contents of Wendy&#8217;s parcel!<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifiville.com\/images\/p3pkg.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" class=\"image-full\" alt=\"Sp3pkg\" title=\"Sp3pkg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.scifiville.com\/images\/sp3pkg.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>From left to right &#8211; Karabella Puffy in Blue\/Purple mix, Manos del Uruguay in colour 38 &#8211; an incredible purple, two skeins of Lorna&#8217;s laces in Fresh stripe a gorgeous mix of turquoise and purple and Katia Ingenua mohair mix in Purple (sensing a theme here yet?!). Wendy certainly knows what my favourite colour is! The yarns are wonderful and I haven&#8217;t quite decided what I&#8217;m going to knit up from them. I think the Manos would make a great Bucket hat while the Lornas will become either gloves or socks or both if I can squeeze them out. For the moment I&#8217;m just happy to look at these yarny treasures!<\/p>\n<p>Wendy also sent me another Denise cable and these fab Wonder Woman coasters!<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.scifiville.com\/images\/wwcoasters.jpg\" title=\"Wwcoasters\" alt=\"Wwcoasters\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I was so happy to get these because I&#8217;d been planning on buying a set.<\/p>\n<p>I also got some yarny Xmas gifts!<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skinnyrabbit.com\/\">Becky<\/a> two skeins of Crystal Palace Musique in shade 9132!<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.scifiville.com\/images\/musiqueyarn.jpg\" title=\"Musiqueyarn\" alt=\"Musiqueyarn\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a lovely squishy yarn that will make a lovely squishy scarf.<\/p>\n<p>and from my friend Mel, who&#8217;s currently living in Tokyo, some Japanese yarn!<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifiville.com\/images\/melyarn.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" class=\"image-full\" alt=\"Melyarn\" title=\"Melyarn\" src=\"http:\/\/www.scifiville.com\/images\/melyarn.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>From left to right &#8211; a purple mix thick and thin wool, pale green and pale blue mohair (I think) and a multi coloured mohair mix yarn. I&#8217;m assuming that the chunky yarn is wool but the label info is all in Japanese except for a &quot;100% &quot; near what I imagine to be the symbol for the yarn content. The other labels are also all in Japanese.&nbsp; When I think of Japanese yarn I tend to think of Noro and Diakeito so it was interesting to see other brands.
