Yarn Excitement!

Here in Australia, we are not extremely spoilt for choice when buying yarn.

I haven't ventured into too many speciality yarn shops

because those yarns can be pricey and a little bit fancy.

I have always envied Lion Brand's yarn, but the conversion rate

and postage to Australia have always stopped me from buying any.

Until today, when I walked into my chain craft store (Spotlight)

and found Lion Brand Heartland in medium weight and Thick and Quick!

I basically had a heart attack but limited myself to two balls for now, one in Thick and Quick and the other in medium weight to get a feel for how it works up.

Isn't it gorgeous! I got the 'black canyon' colour, which is black with grey twisted through.

I have a chunky beanie with a pom pom is calling it's name.

And another fantastic find was this 10 pack of

Moda Vera Mini's in Cotton Brights!

I can't get over how cute they are and couldn't say no!

They measure 3inches tall, are 10 grams and roughy 26 metres long.

Introducing: Leonidas

I made this Lion Toy for a Christmas Present.

I made it up as I went along,

and thankfully, wrote it down.

He turned out pretty cute.

Not what I was expecting, but still sweet.
