Knitterly Update

Progress on the Ribby cardi is painfully slow. Here's me thinking I'll get loads done at the hospital...not a chance. I managed about 4" of one sleeve. 2 people saw me too, I was so embarrassed, as I've never knitted in public before. I'm struggling to pick it up each day, as cotton yarns & summer patterns are calling me & it's been too warm to knit this! Please give me a 'virtual' kick up the backside to get me going again! Here it as of today:

Some knitterly goodies arrived last week that I just have to share!!!

This is the Turchese Cotton from German ebay. I've been searching for 'Cadbury's purple' cotton & I've now got some. This stuff is so nice, I don't want to knit it, how stupid is that? It was delivered in these little boxes:

I'm hoping to get some of it knitted into these:

I've done my usual crazy trick & bought a ridiculous amount of the same yarn in different colours, just look at the state of this Patons Zhivago mountain from Kemps!!

I'm now the proud owner of the Zhivago pattern book from Oz. These are some of the beauties I love, I could happily knit them all, but surprisingly, I don't have enough of the wool!

and these 2...

Just 2 more...

I would've had some of the pink print Zhivago too, but those naughty ebay sellers beat me to it!

That's the lot, I've been really good & not ordered any yarn for, ooohhhh it must be about 9 days now LOL!
