Earl grey for One...

Thursday 16th June 2011

I have been searching for a quirky teapot/cup for one for drinking my earl grey and green tea for absolutely ages.  Then yesterday, when I was in the garden centre to buy yet more niger seed for the goldfinches + their many friends, there it was... the most perfect one... sitting in among all the rose patterned ones...  It was quickly picked up and carefully balanced in the trolley on top of the bags of niger seed...

As I have been working hard recently to finish my Pretty in Pink Collection for Sasha Doll Style...  

and to reach the point where the Sasha Doll Style new website is ready to be uploaded to the web for the first time... hopefully without any difficulties... fingers crossed... will try on Saturday...

I decided as it was a nice day to take a little me time...  I have been twitching to knit a pair of socks for myself using this lovely soft Regia cotton/wool sock yarn that my sister Pip gave me at Christmas...

Yep...  it was a toss up... 

Sasha sweater for the new Marmalade Compote Collection that I am working on now... 

or 

lovely new cool summer socks for me...  

I am knitting these ones at the same time... so that for once I will actually have a pair of socks instead of yet another orphan... I have far too many orphan socks that I keep intending to complete...  I think it would be nice to actually get to wear these ones this summer...
