Stash Enhancement!

OK, so I succumbed....
I was having a bad week - I thought I deserved a treat... and I've got no-one to answer to but myself, so I went yarn shopping.
It started off just being about maybe a scarf to knit while away, and then there's a simple top that I've been thinking about knitting for ages (not that I ever finish anything involving more than 4 balls of yarn, but we live in hope...)

So I walked into Clegs, and they were having a sale! First off I got the yarn for this scarf:

And yes, I've started it already, the yarn is 8ply merino and cashmere blend:And then there's the top I wanted to knit, it is this one.
I was going to make it out of black, as per the cover picture, but then the brown was on sale, and I do seem to be wearing an awful lot of it lately....











And then I saw this:
And I just *had* to have it. I'm thinking of a silly, floppy hat. It's French! Ooh la la!

2 weeks to Tassie - and counting!

Am I, Aren't I.... (revisited)

So guess what? I am. Coeliac that is, or perhaps more accurately pre-coeliac. Which is why they didn't pick it up initially. But the result is the same: a diet 100% gluten free = no more illness. Been about 6 weeks now and I'm already feeling heaps better. I actually have the energy to read books again! Next thing you know I'll be picking up my knitting and all!

The other most noticeable change (apart from not being physically ill every-day) is that my fingernails are stronger and not breaking anymore. Weird the things you focus on...
