Bubblegum yummy yarn

It's Friday hooorrraaaaaayyy, sorry I just had to let that out... I love Friday nights, don't you? They have a different feel as you get older, in my 20's I'd usually have had some plan to go out to dinner, a drink and maybe even a boogie with friends. 

We had Alice when I was 30 and things changed somewhat(!) and now that I am 40 I just love staying in, watching a movie and knitting / hooking / stitching away with the thought of a weekend of family time, reading, walking, baking and making yummy meals, browsing charity shops and having yarn yippy ay yay moments xox

So, on to this evening's post... I wanted to share my Debbie Bliss yarn I bought in my LYS January sale a couple of week's ago. I popped in hoping there would be a HUGE sale on but much to my dismay everything looked beautifully arranged on the shelves with some pricey skeins begging "pick me, pick me" and as much as I would love to purchase a lot more yarn I just cannot afford £12-14 for 50g of beautiful yarn with rivers of silk running through them! {I think the reason why this January wasn't like her normal January sales was because of the massive leak from the flat above and closure of her shop for 3 months or so where loads of stock was destroyed}.

And then the lovely owner Fran, pointed to the corner to a medium sized ceramic bucket full of mostly Debbie Bliss DK cashmerino half price per ball wool and my heart skipped a little beat as I dived forward to see what I could find. I came away with a reasonably large stash of this colour which I love and Alice called it  "bubblegum pink" yarn

Ooooohh yummy ...

Please can I indulge you with just 1 more photo please x

It feels so soft and delicious and was less than half price at £2 per ball if you bought 10 or more!! I won't say how many I bought x {my love, Andy tells me he doesn't read my blog so this is my confessional to all you lovely people out there and now I feel amazingly less guilty about being obsessed with stashing wool here there and everywhere for those 'just in case' or 'when I plan to make this' moments - please tell me I am not the only one who does this!}

So, I have been hooking more of Alice's granny blanket which I mentioned here , since the re-opening of Fran's shop Wa Waa Wools I have promised Alice that I would get round to finishing it as I ran out of yarn and wanted to stick to Debbie Bliss colours for it. It's progressing beautifully with the DK sale yarn and soon will be complete, I thought I would give you a quick glimpse into how it's coming along.

Can you see the delicious bubblegum-ness we can see? Perfect for a 10 year old to snuggle up in xox

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend xox
