I bought some hipknits silk for my Secret Pal.

I bought laceweight in blue - a colour and weight she favours but I don't really - and I STILL love it so much I'm going to find it hard to put in the envelope.

I want to knit trudie, but I'm letting fate decide when for me - it'll be the day I get to the website in time before someone buys up the colours I like. Usually I either see 'SOLD OUT' or just 100g or unco-ordinating colours left...

So far fate has been on the side of my bank account, but then yesterday I discovered Kerrie's pattern for roses for the Children's Society. I can't resist a purchase of aran weight silk AND a charitable donation.
