ONE WORLD ONE HEART - AND THE WINNER IS.....

Today is the closing day for the One World One Heart Giveaway.  1088 people taking part on the magical flying carpet ride....   I have no idea how many blogs I visited, must be hundreds.  I never knew there were such facinating and clever people all over the world.


Anyway, you want to know who won my giveaway!!!   The lucky number was 81.  I had a couple of comments from the same people so had to deduct 4 numbers from the draw. 

Lynda (Ozlynda) from Victoria, Australia is the winner.  I have emailed her and just need her to get back to me.

Thanks to everyone for their lovely comments and it was great visiting all those lovely blogs.   I hope I win something!!!!

ANOTHER LOT OF KNITTING....


My latest knitted bag is coming on well, but I think this one might need lining as its a bit thinner.


I've been using a checkerboard design, 11st square, and I'm really pleased with the look so far.  The wool is gorgeous, just wish I had more of it.  


I've also just finished plying some Corriedale into a lovely double knit.  Not sure whether to try dyeing it, or leave it as it is.  I need some more mittens (my ones I knitted with my first spinning attempts over a year ago are a bit thin.. I didn't realise you had to ply the yarn at that point - we live and learn), so I may use it for them.


I'm having great fun with the ONE WORLD ONE HEART magic carpet ride...... anyone with a blog feel free to join in.  There are over 750 blogs taking part now, I'm number 710.
