Stash enhancement

My wool order arrived.
 These 4 shades are for a jumper for Will, I'm doing a knit down design, which I have not knitted before, the pattern I am following uses 4ply yarn, I will use these as a first knit, then I should be able to adjust the pattern for the DK yarn I have. 
 I fell for the glitter yarn for socks, 
so I had a sneaky cast on yesterday
 1st read of the year.
It's been a busy few of days, with the postman calling twice, I also have my weaving loom, but I will post on it soon. I spent yesterday with my eldest daughter, who is still resting after her knee operation, we did a bit of housework and then we sat, chatted and knitted, hence the start of a new sock.
My daughter has had her 40th birthday, I have no idea where the years have gone, I can hardly believe I am now watching our grand sons growing up, my age is no reflection of the person I feel I am.
Tuesday's sign class was good, loads of fun catching up with everyone, and hearing the plans for this term. As well as learning, it's a very social time, we spent loads of time just chatting about our Christmas break.
I found time to read my 1st book of this year, I have as always a pile of books to read.
Today we are meeting Will and mummy at a local garden center, it's the one with the tractor in the play area, I have no plans to purchase anything other than lunch.

    I can see why you couldn't resist the cast on, that sparkly yarn is so pretty. Squishy parcels are the best.

    Love all the yarns especially the glittery one. I also like Adele Parks when I'm in chick lit mood.

    I really ought to take up knitting for my grandchildren there are so many lovely things to knit but I fear they will have grown out of it before I finish!

    No new yarn here for a little while longer. I look forward to seeing your weaving loom, it is on my wish list for this year. I am hoarding random bits of various yarn left overs to play with.

    Your new yarns look good, have fun and enjoy using them :)
    Hope Will enjoys the tractor - I'm sure he will.

    All the best Jan
