new job/new convert

so i started my new job at blue barracuda yesterday and already am trading crochet lessons for fresh baked brownie goodness! my lovely office manager lucy has wanted to learn for ages - so we start next monday...and lucky for me my new place is just opposite the age concern charity shop where i buy my £1 a ball bright coloured acrylic...

...which is all the better to make baby toys with!
i've got to make a quick baby shower gift but don't know the sex of the baby yet so it'll be bright bright bright instead maybe...figure i can knock up one of those 12 pointed celestial stars in time - fingers crossed.

and i've pretty much finished my mom's shrug - just need to put the side seams in!

doesn't do it justice.

this photo really isn't doing the bright yellowy green yarn any justice. it's so flouro that it was reflecting in my phonecam if i was in broad daylight...

i picked the yarn up at the age concern charity shop down leather lane at lunchtime when i went to pick up my cheapo sandals after having them glued back together AGAIN. they are soo cheap that i've probably spent more on them fixing, but the shape and colour are perfect for my slightly tanned tattooed feet. bought them last year as a panicbuy right before i jetted off to zadar for the electric elephant festival in petrcane.

sooo want to go back again this year as andy weatherall is playing again.

that. and i just need a holiday sooooo bad.

anyway - i bought the yarn to crochet some police tape for yarnbombing!
