Today I had some visitors for my birthday and what a great day it was!

Oma, two of my aunties, Helena and Jo, my cousin Elly and my parents all came to visit and spoil me with yummy food

They also gave some birthday money and it wasn't too hard to decide how to spend it

 I've been eyeing off the Centripetal.

 Partly because its pretty but I think even more so because it looks fun and interesting to knit and put together. You knit a circle and then add in the upper back/shoulders piece and sleeves, how clever!

 I'm going to knit it with bendigo woolen mills rustic wool. I think ill go with 'sandstone' colour but I may change to 'aran' (plain white) at the last minute. I always find it so hard choosing yarn colours because its tricky predicting how it will look once knitted, and which colours would look best on me. I'm always so happy once its ordered so I don't have to keep second guessing my decision

 I will also add buttons and i'm deciding between these

...or these
