developments on the knitting front

in honour of the girrrlfriends in barcelona, yesterday flatmate apphia and i set out on a trip to the world renowned haberdashery department at john lewis to buy WOOL and NEEDLES.

the hang over from the night before started kicking in as we waited for the bus, and i think we had both forgotten how busy oxford street gets on a saturday afternoon, but we got there in the end... only to be a bit overwhelmed by the choice of colours and textures. we decided to sit down on the floor in front of the wall of wool to have a bit of a think about it, and in the end came up with some good combos.

to practice, we are both starting off with striped scarves. apphia is making one for mr george in grey and a tangy yelllow, and i picked up the brightest colours that make me think of caramelos. sylvie, fuchsia is one of them so the scarf would match your bed ;)
