I've jumped on the caron cakes bandwagon and bought some to try.  I can see why they're so popular.  The yarn cakes are huge - 200g balls of aran weight loveliness.  It's soft and the colours are fab!

Top row:  faerie.

Second row - left:  mixed berry.

Second row - right:  rainbow sherbet.

Third row:  funfetti (this is my favourite colourway).

I treated myself to some pompom makers and new knitting needles, just because I like the look of them.  The have a rose gold look to them.  I bought a couple of balls of James C Brett chunky glamour yarn to try.  I'm thinking a little garter stitch blanket with this.  It's so soft and has a bit of sparkle to it.

I'm still plodding along with the front of Dad's aran jumper.  It's getting there (slowly but surely!).
