Yesterday I treated myself to some wildly expensive yarn as it is my birthday today! I bought Alchemy Silk Straw…

…and I got as a present a skein of Handmaiden Sea Silk!

These are intended for the following projects:
Oriel Lace Top and
Montego Bay scarf from IK Knits Summer 2007. 😉

I also (coincidentally… not for my birthday) received this gift from a coworker and her partner yesterday:

It’s a really funky wrist bracelet-type thing (wrist cuff?) made from all vintage materials (yarn, fabric, buttons) and is very cool. 😉
