Wool display in Morecambe

Here is a nice picture of Lancashire Farm Wool displayed by Vicky in the window of The Little Shop of Hobbies in Morecambe.Tastefully draped over a lovely chunk of driftwood fished out of Morecambe Bay! Perfectly suited to the 'natural look'!

Christmas rush arrrgh !!

Wool Week may be over but I'm straight into a Christmas Rush,I'm usually prepared but this year I'm not so spinning,knitting,weaving into the wee small hours,fortunately have the worlds best folk rock band to keep me company & keep me going (only on CD sadly not actually in person!)Back to the loom & Black Jack Davy now!

Wool Week

So Wool Week is over for another year! More people are aware of the Campaign & its aims so its going well.Beautifully displayed woollies can be seen at Posh Sardine in Arnside.If you can't get to Arnside see Posh Sardine's facebook page.Also The Little Shop of Hobbies in Morecambe is stocking the yarn & Vicky the owner is hoping to do a window display.Saturday the 19th I was busy demonstrating at John Lewis in Cheadle,lots of interest in wool spinning & my little knitters loom.It was a really nice day,good atmosphere & the staff made me feel really welcome.

Tea cosy

retro tea & egg cosies

Now I think these are lovely very vintage/afternoon tea sort of things.However family members seem to find them a great source of fun & I've been asked if I'm knitting bob caps for Meercats!

Postal drama !!

Nearly a disaster! The carrier who shall remain nameless lost one bag of fleece on its way to the mill in Derbyshire.Panic! The fleece in question was from the 'special ones' Cheviot/Leicester cross shearling fleeces.They will produce beautiful wool & thanks to all the help & advice from the owners of the mill the bag was found in Coventry (cue lots of witty comments about being sent to Coventry!)All I need now is the refund I've claimed for ----- I'm not holding my breath!
