A bit of a Colour Theme

Today was a pottering about and shopping type of day.  Books back to the library, stamps from the post office, coffee at the Museum and some super purchases.


Primroses from a nearby garden centre just 79p each.  Bowls £1 each in the sale at JTF.


Bargain!  On to the wool shop;  I've been longing to start knitting again for ages so today I bought wool - I began to see a colour theme going on.

So to balance the tendency towards lavender I also bought the primroses below!

Right, I'm off to cast on some stitches!

  6. Love those primroses! Funnily enough, I had an urge to cast on again and bought some wool the other day to make scarf. I've managed to knit about 4 inches so far!

  7. Those primroses (I know them as polyanthus) are a life saver to me in winter. When it's dull and grey, they provide such beautiful bright colours. I love the colour of your wool and look forward to seeing your knitting progress. Have a great weekend.

  9. Get you knitting!! And such an ambitious project! The colour is lovely and would look great with denim. I love all the primulas - they do such a great job of cheering us up for very little money. xxxx

  11. Colour does have a very uplifting effect doesn't it and it is so good to get a bargain.

    Enjoy your knitting and make sure you show us what you make.

  12. for some reason this post didn't show up on the blogger dashboard page so I didn't see it yesterday.

    Those little bowls are perfect to hold the primulas - they look good and what lovely colours!

    I was disappointed that we missed the snowdrops last weekend so we might try to see them on Sunday. The weather has been a bit better than the forecast every day this week so I'm hoping Sunday will be a nice enough day for it! I can't decide whether to go to Rode Hall or go for a walk where I know there are lots of snowdrops!

    I'm playing with the new camera now so hopefully I'll have plenty of opportunity to test it properly over the weekend!

    Hope you have a great weekend :)

  14. What a gorgeous colour that yarn is! The blue primulas and their bowls are lovely too. I've now read the first two Elly Griffiths books and you're right, they are very good.
