Embroidery wools and a skein of Caron Watercolour

From the early 1930's. This booklet has definitely seen many better days, but most of the patterns are intact and will make a nice addition to the knitting wiki

Another booklet of patterns for the knitting wiki

A tube of cool buttons from the Spotlight "bags of craft crap" end of season sale. $5, bargain!

Some of my favourite buttons from the $5 tube o' goodness. I'm going to use these for purses, embroidery and other things that I haven't thought of yet.

A little embroidery kit from the Wollongong Embroidery guild for $2! This kit makes the little knitting bag in the photo. I'm going to stitch something else on it but I think I might start it tomorrow and take a little break from flower looming for a day.

Two little bags of embroidery thread yielded these lovely colours. You just can't get a good screaming-make-your-eyes-bleed turquoise like that anywhere these days

;-)

Some more buttons. I'm going to take the black ones apart and use the gold parts for embroidery. The thing in the middle is a 5cm (2 inch) patchwork template and I'm going to use the beads for textured embroidery.
