You Have Voted !

The votes are in - the hoodie will be sleeveless & with a zip - thank you for your valuable comments! I have finished the hood & picking up the stitches for the front bands & will also have to go out & shop for a zip - hope I can find one in the right color!
My goodies have arrived ......

.....a felted bag from Nundle Woollen Mills & 2 skeins of 8 ply merino wool from The Knittery. I saw the bag in the latest issue of Creative Magazine & immediately went on Nundle's online store to check it out & of course ended up buying it - it's really nice & roomy & I will be carrying it to City Nits this Saturday. There are 2 other colors - pink & camel - go & check it out!

As for the merino wool, thinking of knitting a scarf - something lacy or cables - a friend has given me a pattern on reversible cables & it looks really nice - have to give it a try!

Did you notice the beautiful flowers next to the bag - it's the Geraldton Wax in full bloom in my garden & all over WA - they are so beautiful, so take a closer look......

Will you be sharing your zipper installation technique with those of us who read your blog? I have never installed one and look forward to reading all about it. Your pretty new purchases make me want to shop for more yarn, very inspiring.
