I'm sure I'll purchase one in future but my Christmas yarn budget is almost exhausted at this point - I've purchased a few yarny gifts for myself to be opened at Christmas (when I saw Amy Florence doing this, I thought it was a brilliant idea!), so there are already 2 packages by the fireplace, ready to go under the tree. Just like the bulbs, I don't really remember what I purchased, so it will be a lovely surprise on Christmas morning.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-32182766791957761322019-10-15T08:23:54.397+01:002019-10-15T08:23:54.397+01:00It's going to be so much fun putting them toge...It's going to be so much fun putting them together.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-78959454144288054802019-10-14T17:50:38.436+01:002019-10-14T17:50:38.436+01:00Can't wait to see what you make with all those...Can't wait to see what you make with all those bits of yarn.Jeannie Gray Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491806030465386877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-75911801845398788102019-10-14T08:21:44.661+01:002019-10-14T08:21:44.661+01:00I'm quite excited about making something reall...I'm quite excited about making something really pretty with all the different colours.
