Girlie - that relay sounds fun and so does the mystery blanket. I'm just finishing a mystery knit on Rav - my first and have really enjoyed it.
V'rap - now that's dedication !! I was battling hard for some variegated stuff on Friday but nothing came up. I also got 'cartjacked' and my first choice was nabbed!!
I will need a comprehensive list of 1st choices/2nd choices. I don't wanna get it wrong for you...

ooh! the wollmeise colours are lovely ... is now starting to think of whether young B-i-L who is resident in Berlin could be sent a wool mission (even if he sub-contracts to his wife)

I'm thinking Berlin is a long way from Bavaria. I might be wrong though, geography not being my strong suit.

However the weekly updates can be fun.
At 17.50 euros for 150g it ain't cheap. Up to 300g is 6 euros for p&p (airmail) though.

Nope. Hence it's cult status.

We've been to Harrogate and been to Duttons for Button which is a fab little haberdashery. So little that more than two customers and it's very crammed. There were about 10 people in there today so finding stuff was very tricky! I've got some different sized crochet hooks and the minis came away with cross stitch kits.
Then I've been to the Remnant House, another fab shop crammed with all sorts of fabric and haberdashery, and I've got some sparkly stuff to decorate crochet Christmas baubles and some ideas of how to decorate mini1's new dance costume. There were all sorts of lovely things, could have spent hours in there if it wasn't also so crowded!
