What Was In The Mail

I few days ago I received this booklet in the mail. Cosy had found two of these booklets and was giving them away in a contest. I had orginally started reading her blog because I had come across a picture (I can't remember where) of a bonnet she had knit from a pattern in the booklet. I'm going to knit the same bonnet once I've found the yarn I want to use.

I was at the library in Tampere because I seldom find anything new in English in our local library. I had a quick look at the craft books and I found these. I've never seen any Debbie Bliss books before. I don't know what to say about them. There were a lot of nice things but I doubt that I'll make any of them. See booklet #115 on the back? I've had that for years.

I started H's and M's daughter's socks. The yarn is the same that I used for H's socks and A's hat but it feels so different. Almost like string. Strange. I don't really like the feel of it and I'll be glad when they're done.

My First Book "Review"

I borrowed this book On the Needles (my translation) by Anu Harkki from the library. The cover looked hopeful but I didn't find anything that I probably couldn't find from the internet. Though I'm sure that many Finns would prefer reading Finnish instructions. I didn't even bother reading anything from it to see how she wrote her instructions.

Other than mending some clothes and lengthening some curtains I haven't done anything else.

This isn't quite a craft but I made these chocolate peanut butter cups for A for Christmas. I'm going to make them again but I'll have to adjust the amounts so I don't end up with leftover filling.
