Hi there, I haven’t been on for ages as I’ve been on holiday - spent a lovely two weeks in Menorca with my family - no thinking, knitting or housework for two whole weeks. Fab!!!! (except for the no-knitting.

I am returning a pile of patterns to an aunt tomorrow - just had a quick look in the bag and have found a lovely bolero for 9 - 12 yrs. It’s pre 1970 (price is in shillings, so it’s quite old. It knits on old size 8 needles which is 4mm. The pattern says fuzzy wuzzy angora, but I bet you could use double knitting - does anyone know what thickness fuzzy wuzzy angora is?

I will copy it anyway, just let me know if you want me to send it to you. It’s really nice
