Last week my beloved and I celebrated 15 years of wedded bliss, s0 we took the boys to stay with Grandma and we went away without them for the first time ever. My globetrotting husband has spent many nights away from them (and me), but going away together without the boys was a rare treat.
We stayed at a nice hotel in central London, ate at lovely non-child-friendly restaurants and shopped without the small people with very short attention spans. It was a romantic getaway rather than a stashbuilding trip, but I still managed to squeeze in a visit to the John Lewis in Oxford Street where I made a few yarn purchases. The fact that my husband didn’t complain about this is possibly one of the reasons we’ve stayed married for 15 years.
I know I’ve said before that sock yarn is my favourite impulse purchase, so the haul above should come as no surprise. The colours are heavily skewed towards blue and purple which is also true to form. I’m nothing if not predictable.
I plan to take at least one pair of these on holiday with me, but which one? And what pattern to knit? I think I need a little Ravelry browsing session. I may be some time…
