Let's Knit Magazine - Your knitting, your style

Ooh Stacey that looks nice - the one I did was the lettuce leaf edge cardi (8737) I just had to do a bit of trawling the internet to find out its number!  (That’s how sad and anal I am!) Didn’t want to give you bum information did I?!  Anyway there was a lovely tank top pattern in blur pattern no 8930 - they had it in my LYS hanging up and even tho I don’t think it would suit me I loved it!!  Will certainly have to see what this one on the next issue is.  Does it seem like ages since last months issue or is it me?

yeah leigh- im going to wait to see what the one in the new issue is like 1st- then decide which one i want to do in the indigo- def buying some more though!

I don’t know if it’s a country wide thing, but John Lewis at Bluewater today had two balls of Blur in a packet marked as £1.75 a ball.  Don’t know if this is of help to you, but thought I’d mention it!  It was the cream one.  I didn’t get a chance to look round to see if they had more, as hubby was with me and as I didn’t want to buy anything (rather spend the money at LYS) he gets a bit “well if you’re not buying anything anyway what’s the point in looking!!”

Enjoy using it, it’s nice to knit with!

I think it’s country-wide. John Lewis in Sheffield is having a sale too, they have quite a lot - some Debbie Bliss, some Sirar Blur, and loads of Rowan yarns.

I got some sirdar blur cheap and knitted a shawl with it. I think it is the most sumptuous thing I have ever knitted. It is so soft and light.

yes it is lovely to use and wear, I tried dropping a very large hint to DH last night about the little top in LK9 but he “doesn’t like the sleeves”.  So I can’t see me making that any time soon!

If he does’nt like the sleeves tell him he can have one without sleeves!

I was in Browns in York when we were there at the weekend and their wool department is being closed down so everything is half price.  They had quite a lot of Blur left in a few colours.  It’s worth a look any of you ladies who live in the vicinity of York....Gill and I meant to go back there on Monday morning but we didn’t quite make it....

Hi Nessa...it was the next day before I remembered.

I don’t think I will make an effort to go just for that considering how much wool I have already. You did’nt see the stash under the table next to SPLOL central did you????? or the stash UNDER SPLOL central.  

I didn’t actually see it Gill...but something told me it was there ....under...behind...on top of...in every nook and cranny of your den...I know there is STASH...STASH....STASH....so I agree with you...you don’t need to go to Browns for any more     ....even if they are giving it away

aaahhhh now......if they were giving it away........ That, as the munchkin said, “is a horse of a different colour”!!!!!
