Bahrain...Knitting...SockWars

BAHRAIN
Right back onto the knitting...but first... got back from a great 2 day break in Bahrain. First to a cocktail do at The Raddisson Diplomat and stayover. Then took the kids to Seef Mall to the cinema to see '...Witch Mountain' by Disney... oh boy were we glad when that was over. The main point being is I suppose that the kids really enjoyed the film so job done. First cinema they've been to since being out here. No cinema's in Saudi so it was a real treat for them, next time it will be a great treat for 'us'.

SOCK WARS
Got back and found out that the internet was down... oh blippin heck... I knew it would do that just when I was expecting to find out who my target is in the Sock Wars... Hubby helped out by getting me a 'dongle' to borrow for tonight so I could get some info and update the blog.

A message to my target:
Well, I know who you are and I'm going to get ya !


MITTENSWhile I'm waiting for the ammo to use on my target, which I should have on 15th May, I have started a pair of fingerless mittens for my daughter who is very excited about them. I received this beautiful yarn about a week ago from a lady on ebay (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/NORDIC-KNITWEAR-AND-YARNS) and just decided what to do with it. The pattern is one I've used before from Alpaca Select 'Fabiola' but using the new yarn which is a hand dyed baby alpaca. Really beautifully soft with just the most ice-creamy & sherbit shades.
