"There is no sincerer love than the love of food"
so George Bernard Shaw said
Not quite sure about that!!However while I'm on the topic of food I am at this very minute cooking a mix veg omelette which consists of:
Courgettes,aubergines,mushrooms and pine nuts
and "Voila"
Homemade chicken soup for starters and the omelette for seconds .....lunch sorted ...phew!!!
Well that was lunchtime and after having a little bit of a siesta I'm back :-)
Now you may remember a few posts back here I mentioned I had discovered a new Katia wool shop very near to where I lived and was hoping to get to visit it soon .....and well I did.....and the friendliest people run it.

| Mercedes the owner of the Katia shop |
A Husband and wife (Mercedes) team and lo and behold the husband had lived in London for awhile and speaks some English ....perfect.

| Afternoon tuition and chats which I hope to attend one day |
By the way Linda at Linda's Crafty Corner I visited the shop before I joined your
so these two balls of lovely I bought beforehand.....honest!.

| sorry pic is a bit fuzzy ....quick snapshot using the mobile! |
This yarn is called Katia Bombon and it is incredibly soft and spongy!
I am being very good you see Linda;really good considering the Katia shop has a sale on now and I haven't even been near the place ....... although I really would like to!!!
I have been stash busting as well and I just have to display these two makes which are finally finished,on Linda's Feb stash busting party page.
A Beanie for daughter Nº 1 and
A waistcoat for my granddaughter.
Cookie chose this pattern herself from one found on the Drops webpage. It looks much much nicer on than in this photo.
Have a great weekend all!!!

Hi Amanda! I don't know how you're staying away from the wool shop. It looks absolutely delightful and Mercedes looks. Rey friendly and happy to have her picture taken in the shop. It looks like you're having a wonderful time and I love your makes. Thank you for sharing with us.

My knitting is limited to wobbly blankets for the Spanish Stray Cats. I knitted a pullover once - an unmitigated disaster. An expensive unmitigated disaster!! Still, I don't suppose the cats will worry over wobbly knitting!
ReplyDeletePS My Secret Santa parcel, posted in South Africa on December 9th finally arrived last week. Huzzah!
Hi

Great to hear you have received your parcel at last!!! I'm not very good making garments;sweaters ect at all! At least you can knit I can't…it defeats me!
