Aquisition and a bit of knitting

I treated myself this year. I bought Angels in Stone from Dijanne Cevaal. Dijanne is a well known textile artist in Australia and I'm very pleased that we have been able to connect through our blogs :-) So here are a few pictures (check out the link to Angels in Stone above, it takes you to Dijanne's post about the work).

Angels in Stone - Dijanne Cevaal
Angels in Stone by Dijanne Cevaal. I bought this as a treat for myself this Christmas.

Yesterday Riscy and I cleaned the front half of the house and today we will tidy our bedroom. I don't want to spend my precious days off at Christmas feeling crap because the house is untidy and feeling worse because I'm procrastinating about putting the washing away. I picked up my knitting again after taking a nearly 2 month break to concentrate on making art. This was going to be a very open, lacy scarf, but I'm thinking it is going to be too wide so I'm seriously considering turning it into a shrug, perhaps with purple cuffs!!

Orange Lace
Orange lace - Flurette from A Treasury of Knitting Patterns. I made a mistake way back which I didn't notice til I took this photo. I'm not going to rip it so I'll live with it.

Wow! what a awesome gift for

Wow! what a awesome gift for yourself! I love her work! Enjoy your time off, too!
