Or rather… this year’s last post..!!! ;-)

Again, not much to show as most of my time lately was sent between family gatherings, Christmas meals ..and caring for Prune who’s been sick all thru the week-end.

Nearly finished the second capelet though, just needs 2 pom-poms and it’ll be ready to send off to my SIL. I just took a quick pic, you might get a more decent one later. Like I said, same yarn but in a lighter lilac shade. This one has 7 repeats of the shell pattern as she asked for a slightly longer one than her sis. And I ran the yarn along the sides to avoid some re-attaching yarn and weaving in at the end.

On top of all the Christmas woopla (we have a very large family, this year was a small party, only 25 of us..) there was a cool surprise waiting for me at my parent’s: M. and JL, the friendly swiss neighbours left 2 boxes of yarn and tons of needles and hooks for me (I think they come for some deceased relatives of theirs) !! There are bamboo needles in there, plus a hook that looks like bone. Not carved, but still utterly cool !! I want to try it asap !!!

Which leads me to this: come around again next week for a little Giveway. Not sure of the mods and stuff, but there should be needles and hooks (brand new Phildar ones, still in packaging) and maybe more…
