The weather has finally cleared up for the last two days and it has been almost like Summer!... Unfortunately, it is not supposed to last, we have been told. What a shame as the children break up today for their Summer holiday! I sincerely hope they will be able to enjoy a fair amount of sunshine in the next six weeks.
I haven't done much, knitwise, this week apart from a good progress on Martha's cardi. I have been thinking of making another granny blanket but am still musing about the choice of colours and a different style maybe. The problem is I don't have enough yarn in my stash and need to browse the yarn shops which are... non existent here. I know I can shop on the Internet but it is frustrating to have to rely on photography only to choose yarn shades. I hear everywhere that knitting and crochet are back in fashion, but there is not much evidence of it here!...
Hopefully next week I'll be working on something new... In the meantime, I am going to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on Monday and, of course, Saturday I will have my copy of the last book. So life is not that bad, even without yarn shops nearby... Have a nice week-end!...
Enjoy HP! We will be going when we get back fromn our hols. Have you seen that Kangaroo have a club, where they send out shade cards and new yarn samples?

I am very much loving the granny square blanket. You've done a great job and I am glad to hear that the recipient loves it - that always helps. x

I just went and took my children to see the movie on Saturday. It was great and the children loved it too. I also bought the book then too, and have been reading it with much anticipation. I wont spoil it for you though, but it is really good.

L'été chez toi ? Quelle chance ! Ici, on a des pluies tropicales, violentes, à faire déborder les canaux. Je suis d'accord avec toi : choisir ses laines sur Internet au lieu de pouvoir les toucher, c'est triste et très frustrant. Mais d'un autre côté, on peut accéder à tous les fils via l'ordinateur... Bonne semaine !
