but first for some knitting stuff

Yes, I have been slack and can't quite believe it has been 2 weeks since I last blogged, but we will discuss that later.
Here are some yarny stuff that I have been meaning to post about for ages. The first two shots are my nephews birthday present. this was so beautiful to knit with that I didn't want to stop. I received the yarn in a swap and it was hand dyed treliske and is divine.

The last pic is the goodies I received in a swap on ravelry. It was a mystery ball swap where we wind a ball of wall around all sorts of goodies for the recipient to find as they knit. I can't wait to spring so I can't plant the seeds and have some colour in my back yard!
