That is useful to know. Stylecraft, you say. Will have a look to see if my local woolshop stocks it. I've decided when I buy wool, whenever possible I'm going to get it from there. Supporting a small business and all.

I have finally finished a sock. Although I do now need to knit the other one... (and progress on my skirt [which I have cut out the pieces for probably in about June!], and the short sleeved cardi)

Found a top I knitted and forgotten about

Realised why I forgot it …. When casting off I’d cut the yarn too short and it’s started to come undone so need to do a bodge fix to pick up some stitches and stop it from coming undone
