Unfortunately, crafty disaster stuck a few days ago: I managed to snip a hole in one of the wristwarmers while I was sewing it up! It couldn't be rescued and I didn't have any more yarn left to knit a replacement. Oops. (Top tip: if you make a mistake because you're tired, don't try and fix that mistake with scissors when you're still tired. It probably won't end well).
I decided to take this as a sign from the universe that the wristwarmers were insufficiently awesome, so I went to John Lewis to buy some new, more awesome yarn:
It has sparkly silver bits in it! Woohoo!
Fingers crossed I can get the new pair knitted in time for Christmas morning :)

I think we have all had crafting disasters!! The new yarn does look lovely though, and hand made gifts are always the best. Thank you for another year of a wonderful blog. Happy Christmas.
I loooove the yarn! Too bad about the first pair, but these look great! Have a nice holiday!
Laura,
I just unwrapped "Super Cute Felt Animals" for Christmas. It's sooooo cute! Now I've got both your books. It's crafty heaven at my house right now.
Happy Holidays!

Thanks for the comments everyone! It's hard to capture just how fab the yarn is - it's like the night sky, so pretty :)
