Hi,What a beautiful day, the sun is shining and its quite hot.
Today I bring you my new books, firstly my Mary Konior book, that I manage to find on Amazon on Friday, I know its secondhand but its a miracle that its even for sale, OK it was expensive compared to what I usually pay for a book, but now I have all four of her books. Mary died last year and these books are out of print so to find one that I could afford was a miracle. There are some lovely patterns I have some tatting on the go at the moment but I know which book I will be using for a while.
Now this book I got the other week, I wanted some inspiration for some flowers and this book has done it. If you have not yet got this book then I suggest you try it, it has some lovely flowers in it.
These are what I did with the book, the cream and gold thread is very old and I have no idea now what is was called as this was made from a bit of a ball left in the draw, I added gold beads to the middle. Then I made the other one with double knitting dark blue wool no label on the ball so I cant remember what that wool is was either, but I added so sparky thread in the middle, must have been good Melissa (DIL) walked off with it, saying she loved it. I have now knitted another one.
I did on Saturday brought the knitted cake book in the series as yet nothing as been knitted from it, will show you some lovely new knitted cakes when I have.
I hope the weather is good with you and until we meet again in blog land take care
Hugs
Margaret
You are indeed very lucky to have all 4 books! I'm glad you found it at a reasonable price. Whenever I look it's always some ridiculous price.
ReplyDeleteThe knitted flowers are really beautiful. I love flowers from knitting, crocheting and tatting!
Congrats on finding the book! Very hard to come by these days!

ReplyDeleteI am envious of your MK collection! I would love this one, but I'm afraid it's not in the budget at the prices I've seen :( Enjoy it - I will love to see what you make from it!
