However, the copy of Debbie Bliss's 'Home' dropped through my letter box this morning and almost took my mind quite off it. Ever ambitious, I want to make her large spot blanket in a nice ocean blue and green to cheer up my boyfriend's lonely flat, although I fear he may have moved out by the time it gets finished. One of her cushions would be good practice though, and I will crack on once I have finished these bad boys:
Venetian inspired fishy mittens:
This pink (Sublime cashmere meriono silk- the most luxourious wool I have ever treated myself too) is almost the exact shade of Venice, and I got ridiculously over excited in Morley's of Brixton when I found some silver lurex to knit it with. The colours reminded me of the beautiful fish in the Rialto market, and the theme was complete when I found these fishy beads in Brighton that also cover the holes where I messed up by increases.
When they are finished, I be able to put them on and transport myself out of London and back to the hazy Italian sunshine. The length makes me feel like a japanese anime character and ready to cope with anything that London throws at me in the meantime.
