Only that I gave myself. I ordered Medieval Town Mandala (Chatelaine) and told my DH he was giving it to me for Hannukah. But I forgot to order the chart, so I did that yesterday. Can't start it yet anyway, since I"m not finished with Watergarden. One region of xs and then a gazillion beads.

I forgot about that. It's called quivet and it is soft. I bought some when I was in Alaska and made a couple of kids hats for gifts. I remember that it was expensive, but not much else about it so I don't think it made a particularly great impression on me.

Gillian, I was based at RAF CME in London for a time and billeted at RAF Uxbridge hated the journey but there was a wonderful sandwich shop near CME for a bacon sandwich in the morning and the most wonderful book shop ever just across the road. Jan
I don't know about reckless kid, if you'd been my kid, you'd have been dead kid for sure !
The cover's intriguing. What's the inside like?
I want it just based on the cover photo.....

What a lovely gift!
I found some Stash "holiday" teas at a bargain price and tucked a few in all my stitchy friends gifts.

Their White Christmas tea is one of my favorites, especially when I'm feeling under the weather. I always keep some of it on hand.
Best wishes, Ericka
I found two British cross-stitch magazines squirreled away in my stocking...and some chocolate, which is definitely stitching related.

That is so true, and I think part of why I like knitting. Not that I don't have to think when doing complicated patterns, but once I'm going, it just runs, and I love the feel of the different yarns. Definitely easier on the eyes. I got to knit at the hockey game yesterday - well at least during the pre the pros U-18 game that DH was reffing. Sat with the crew setting up TV and rink stuff - and knitted. What fun.

Ah, you just made me thing- I have the "errata" sheets from the 2nd class I taught - they needed much more instruction than the group which Donna was in. I'll send them to you (I figure once someone has found the chart errors
- it's good to share them).

My DD bought me the Color Index book to help me when working on my own designs. Thoughtful child. DS gave me an IOU for my LNS.
And I think my buying Ink Circles Much-Heralded Sampler last week counts:
DD gave me four balls of cotton yarn that I shall have fun deciding how to use...after the two projects that are 1.)in progress and 2.)in queue!
I'm not a knitter, so it'll be something in crochet.

It's a novel, I haven't started to read it as yet.... 600+ pages

I just found that one - it is tasty. I really liked the Merry Mint.
Any relation to S**t on a Shingle? (creamed dried beef on toast)
Sounds like both were inspired by the same thought process
Aside from those gorgeous yarns, there is some beautiful, soft, stoff in the "baby" yarns. Meant for doing baby sweaters, but so soft, and some really nice colors that aren't necessarily babyish. I'm doing a yellow-green baby sweater now in a yarn from Filatura, maybe Zarella. Worth looking at them - they usually knit on size 5-6 needles - about- and depending on your own tension. I do gauge swatches for everything except scarves. Anyhow, in the LKS that I frequent - the kids/baby yarns are in a separate area - but I always search the entire store.

Definitely counts! How nice.

Happy Hanukah, Sara. Hey - it was ordered still during the 8 days! I really like both of those Manala. Over the past year I've been debating about which one to do...leaning towards the Taj Mahal, as I could then hang it with a bunch of my souvenirs from India. Congrats on almost being finished with the Watergarden - can't wait to see a picture!
