Quiet day

I went out briefly to the shop to buy some milk, nz3.20. I put on a jacket I hadn't worn for some time and was pleasantly surprised to find 1.20 in the pocket. Aside from that I was lazing around eating bananas on toast and surfing the net. I found this free pattern

so dug out some vintage pink laceweight I found at the opportunity shop for nz6.00 and bravely cast on. So far so good. I hope to have a beautiful shawl in time to wear to England.

    That's a very pretty pattern that will look good in pink as well.

    Opportunity Shop? Is this a place with second hand goods? I love the name!!

    In New Zealand thrift stores are often referred to as opportunity shops, or opp shops.
