Spring has Sprung

It hasn't, actually, though it is very warm, but these colours are so soft and beautiful that it felt like spring!  I realised towards the end of last week that I had run out of money and couldn't buy the Debbie Bliss Prima on sale until after the weekend.  But how long would the special offer last?  So I wrote to Black Sheep and got a lovely letter from their customer service lady, Maria.  Providing I realised this was just a one-off, I could buy the Prima over the phone and she would put the sale through manually.  What wonderful kindness!  I was so overjoyed that I bought twenty balls.  In trying to work out how many balls I needed for more skinny rib tops, I weighed the top I'd made and calculated 6 balls, but bought 7 (just in case.)  I've bought enough for three tops:  one in yellow, one in lavender and one that will be avocado, cream and other stripes (depending what's left.)
Something gorgeous for next Spring!
