ECF

A little early morning eye candy for Friday - this is the summer installation in front of the National Theatre. In the evenings it is rammed with people sitting in the sun, reading their papers, drinking beer and pimms, but mornings are the quiet time.

I love the OXO tower. I spent a lot of time in my student union bar (surprise surprise) with a Newkey Brown in hand starring out at the tower, and now it forms part of my journey home, made extra pretty with the sun shining off Sea Containers House.

A little bit fiberlicious a little bit eye candy

Firstly the eye candy;

A little fuchsia from the garden to cheer the day along

Now for the fibre;

The yarn is STR medium-weight. 2 skeins in Space Dust. Bought to be the foundation yarn in a blanket I want to knit for myself. I wanted to have the yarn in front of me so that I wasn't matching colours via internet pics.

Please excuse the pics. I had real problems getting the light levels right, and these were the best of a poor bunch, but I had to share the love regardless.

eye candy friday

The fabric ready and waiting for quilt 2. I know it is a bit previous showing off what I plan to make the next one with when I haven't even documented the first, but I will get around to it. It was just that seeing all of the fabrics together for the first time got me really excited. What really got me going is that everything on the right hand side is either stuff I had hanging around anyway, or was gifted to me, which means that it will turn into a double sided quilt, one side shop bought, and the other thrifted.

It is just a pity that I have 2 jumpers, at least 1 pair of socks, god knows how many felted heart Christmas tree ornaments (don't ask), a hot wheat-a-bottle, a couple of flannels and another kimono to knit for Christmas before I can even think of getting down to this, or any knitting for me.

Sigh.

Happy Friday.
