Couldn’t walk past without going in and spending some money..g/son was with me n he loved looking at the wool too.Went back to his and had another knitting lesson with him.He loves his own knitting pins…
Waiting for friend to arrive who loves knitting as much as i do and has about as much wool as me..
I’m the same as you Jenifer. This morning I had to phone Sewing Basket Sue to ask her to keep me another ball of the Rowan cashcotton that I bought from her last week. I am doing a short sleeved top but have decided to make the body and the sleeves just a little longer than the pattern states. I will go in tomorrow to get the one extra ball but know for sure I will come out with some more yarn of another kind as well. Yesterday Bill and I went for a run to Largs up the west coast of Scotland and I popped into the wee yarn shop there...and of course I couldn’t come out empty handed. I got two 400gm balls of Stylecraft Aran for a short sleeve jacket that was on the front of Simply Knitting this month. Probably DIL will get that too...I couldn’t describe Bill’s face when I emerged with the carrier bag...I had said I was just going in for a wee browse....but we ladies know that is impossible...don’t we Jenifer
I have no friends who knit,only Colin who i meet on ravelry,i still have not met him yet but hope to soon,i call him a friend even though i have not met him,i feel i have known him for ages if you know what i mean.

I like that jacket as well nessa,i am going to do it later on.
I got my 2 ply from ebay this morning and I can’t wait to get cracking with it, even though I’ve not decided what my next project is going to be plus I’ve still to finish the shawl and my black cardigan,

OOOOO come on miss, you have got 1000,s of friends who knit.......WE ARE ALL HERE!!!!!!
I inherited a small stash yesterday off my MIL’s friend who has decided that it hurts her hands too much and bamboos aren’t for her. It’s a big carrier bag full of mainly acrylics but will ome in handy for small projects, now where do i put it. It has spurned my MIL who no longer knits to sort hers out so I think I may be in for a little more.
Haha, I am picking up my sewing machine 2moz, a med size one I ordered from J Lewis in Edinburgh. All excited! I hate sewing but I am determined to learn all a fabby wee machine can teach me. My projects may be transformed!! Can only take thinnish fabrics but I don’t mind sewing chunky knits as much as it is less fiddly.
As to getting others’ stashes, that is so cool! It is a shame the other knitters have called it a day but it must be a nice feeling to rummage through it all

HWN nearly faints if I mention sewing machines, can,t think why.....I only have 7.!!! Well it is a bit like the pattern stash and wool stash, they just sort of found their way home with me.

i dont either- but thats the great thing about this site!!!
Luckily I have my clever friend who I work with, who knits the complicated stuff for me !
I have a friend who went mad got loads of yarn, needles etc, and has lost enthusiasm now, and says I can have her stash, trouble is she is in Suffolk !!!! and her record of posting stuff is not impressive at all, lol x Janet
