Nicky Epstein... Snail Mail brought at last !

It's finally arrived(ordered 19th April so took 2 weeks, not too bad)... This book is just beautiful from cover to cover with just stunning photography and designs including snipets of information about what inspired Nicky to design a particular piece. A wonderful coffee table book that I keep picking up and flicking thru again and again. There are too many projects that I really just want to make, but realistically very few that I will ever get completed but will probably attempt, along with my own adaptions, making them easier and less time consuming.
This is my first Nicky Epstein book but I'm looking to add to the collection.

I Luv Snail Mail

I am so pleased ... I got a postal delivery yesterday and after weeks of 'nothing' not even a 'bill' from the UK, I got my long awaited subscription mag, 'Simply Knitting' and some others that I'd either won on ebay or asked relatives to buy and send on.

The mag only took about 2 weeks to arrive so that's not too bad. Have also subscribed to 'Knitting' mag as well so I've got 2 things to look forward to the snail mail bringing once a month.

Waiting for another delivery of wool to keep the sock supplies up !

Yippeeeee Simply Knitting Arrived !

Finally my long awaited stash has arrived with this month's 'Simply Knitting' and 'Knitting' mags with the fab freebies. Not getting alot of knitting done again as just been flipping thru the pages to see what I can get on with as soon as I've finished my current list of 'just got to makes'.

Had a great day by the pool reading them.. can't wait for the next issue of Simply Knitting but it looks like its a definite 2 weeks wait for the post to arrive. Might have to subscribe to Knitting as well ! Just can't go without a knitting fix once a month. Snail mail is worth waiting for in these instances !
