My first Harty Hook Club and a penguin hook.

For Christmas my lovely boyfriend got me a stunning set of Harty Hooks from Fleabubs by Lala and I absolutely love them.  They are so pretty and incredibly comfortable to use.

I fell head over heels in love, so when it was announced that there would be a Harty Hook Club I was all over it like a rash!  It's a monthly subscription for just £9.50 and each month a hook, a mini skein of yarn and a gift arrives

This month was the first month and after seeing a few references made on Facebook on Monday I just could not wait to get home.  After flying through the door I opened by beautiful parcel in haste and was amazed by what I found inside, I mean WOW!!

The theme was Golden Rainbows and alongside the prettiest opalescent hook was a mini skein of  rainbow sparkly 4ply from unbelievawool, so squishy and beautiful.  The whole package smelt lovely thanks to a bar of orange and cinnamon soap from the clovelly soap company, it smells so seriously amazing I want to carry it everywhere.  There was also a lovely little handmade stitch holder from doodlestop, these are well worth a look, very pretty.  It was beautifully finished off with a yummy chocolate heart.

Nicola (aka Fleabubs) also wrote a lovely little pattern to use the 3.5mm hook and the yarn it was paired with.  The pattern was for a lovely little single hook carrier, perfect when transporting those delicate harty hooks with a project in a bag.  Such a clever idea as I have a large hook roll but worry when transporting my lonely hook loose in my bag.

This is one of the best things I have ever spent my money on.  Spaces are incredibly sought after so I am very very lucky to have secured myself a 6 month slot.  I think when my time is up I will be very reluctant to give up my space but it is only fair to let someone else experience the joy of these little parcels.

This week I also received a brilliant custom made crochet hook from for the love of yarn.  There is a mutual love of penguins between my partner and I so it only seemed right to have one in my hook collection.  Isn't he just adorable, I love him.

I also received a lovely free cleanser sample through the post from a mo skincare a company who specialise in handmade natural skincare.  I can't wait to wash my face. 

All in all a beautiful week for post falling onto my doorstep.

In other matters I have finshed the back of my latest sweater, I cannot wait to share this with you all but I still have a lot of work yet.
