that seems to be a grand wee shop that you've found V'raptor I'm buying a lot of my wool/yarn in Perth these days as around the art gallery there's now a few craft shops - I particularly like Elena Costello's as she has knitting goodies in the front shop and felting goodies in the back

Cambridge lacks a decent wool shop All we've got is John Lewis, and a tiny department at that |

hello! click click clickety click I have just finished something for me for a change is a triangular shawl/scarf - just the jobbie for keeping me warm in the winter. I made a huge one as a posh going out shawl years ago , but never wear the damn thing. piccies... http://www.fetcheveryone.com/gallery-showphoto.php?filename=340_50403.jpg and http://www.fetcheveryone.com/gallery-showphoto.php?filename=340_51399.jpg next project will be a Frog Prince toy for a work colleague who's just had little girl, followed by something else baby-ish for a preggers colleague

hello....i don't knit or crochet....but when I have time i do like to cross stitch and at some point when I'm retired and have lots ore money I'm going to take up quilting again. On my visit back to the states last week, I discovered just how many cross stitching books and kits I had bought. Quite a few. Will have to eventually get them all over here. By the way did you all know there is a quilting and general craft fair that goes on in Alexandra Palace in October (i think it's october.) And there is a massive quilt show during the year at the NEC Birmingham. (They say quilt show, but they have something for everyone!) |

thank-you (it's a lot less fiddly to do than it looks, the pattern is very easy to follow )

john lewis was brilliant for knitting stuff 20 years ago, it's rubbish now. they've been a bit slow picking up on the fact that knitting and crocheting have got really popular again. i've never knitted socks, either, hb. and i need patterns too the only thing i 'design' are motifs and i keep those really simple i felted a bag once, but i didn't like what it did to the flowers i'd knitted an sewn on to it. i keep meaning to reknit the flowers and sew them on in their non-felted state but i keep forgetting! i love the blanket you made sarahl, rb it's a patons wool, v'rap. i think it's supposed to be aran weight. it's very rough to the touch - not sure how it could ever be used for clothing! i think i'll take them down to my friend who is doing the stall with her sister and see what she thinks. but as i'm not happy with them i'm disinclined to go on knitting them! i might have to come up with something else for the stall instead... think i might go back to the single blanket i'm making which is stars and stripes and i need to make a start on the lacy wrist warmers i promised my cousin... |
