Slightly less exciting (but still rather marvellous) I went on a shopping trip yesterday and bought a whole bundle of knitting needles in assorted sizes from the few local charity shops that still sell them ...
... and some yummy balls of marbled yarn (deliciously soft and chunky) from the haberdashers at my local market. A mottled grey, a pink & purple blend and a lush autumnal mix of brown, teal, orange and gold:
I still haven't finished my second scarf, but as an antidote to all that purple I've made a start on a grey one - using rib knit again as I think I need the practice, haha. I am in love with it already, all those mottled greys! Yum yum.

Oooh such a fab shopping hoarde. Lucky you on such a find!
Verigated yarns are super fun too! I really want to try the rib stitch but I'm busy finishing up my neck warmer :lol: I need to find two large wooden buttons for it.
And I was also sad to hear the Craft would no longer be in "print". I have a nice assortment of their magazines and have always enjoyed it greatly. I think I might see about finding some back issues. Well at least it will save some trees :)
Hiya! I LOVE your needles and yarn! They are fantastic! I get VERY EXCITED about knitting needles and yarn. :>
Looking forward to seeing your finished knitting projects.

I love charity shops for that very reason - I was nearly shocked at how many of the ones round me stock wool as a matter of course!
I love the grey yarn it looks very scrummy indeed

Great find! My needles are a real mixture like that as I have picked them up at charity shops over the years. Knitting rocks!
