Shopping and Knitting Makes Me Happy

Ah, the post title says it all :mrgreen: . Shopping and knitting really makes me very happy. I popped into Portmans again with my colleague as she wanted to get some work pants and when I saw this vest, I had to buy it. Why??? Original price is $79.95 and it’s being reduced to $19.95!!! What a great bargain!!! :twisted: And most importantly, I think I look good in it!! :roll:

Navy/White Stripe Vest

As for Mrs. Darcy, I’ve decided to frog the top bits of the fronts and make it wider. I’ve already undo the sleeve cap seams and the shoulder seams and the frogging bit. So hopefully I’ll be able to fix this soon. :( First time I have to undo a FO. Sigh…

Anyway, for those of you who are Spotlight VIP members, I’m sure all of you received the Spotlight Vouchers like I did? Who can miss such a good bargain hey?? I went there this morning and holy moly!! It was packed!! Everyone was kinda like buying lots and lots of stuff!!! I actually wanted to get some new curtains and the rods for our house but then Tian wasn’t around so will have to wait for next time. So guess what I went home with?

Moda Vera Bamboo/Cotton

Cleckheaton Bamboo

Patons Merino Deluxe DK

Lastly, it has been pretty cloudy and wet the past few days. I miss sunny days now :(

    It does iondeed suit you!! Well done on the unravelling Mr Darcy: I think it will be really worth the effort!! We did have that sale but none of the lovely wool. Our wool aisle is very sad and unexciting.

    Yes, I think the vest looks good on you! :smile: The weather is starting to get worse here in England too. It will soon be winter.
