CASHMERE--CASHMERE--CASHMERE--CASHMERE--CASHMERE

I have just got the most lovely yarn in the shop--------- CASHMERE
2ply
4ply
12ply
Hand spun - wow
Cashmere and silk
I want to start knitting with it NOW.

I also have got some CAMEL yarn just to see what its like, in 4ply and 12ply, silly me -I thought that natural would be a lovely off white like the cashmere but natural camel is --camel coloured !! ;o)

My camera has just decided to stop working, so no photos.

Old Friends

What a lovely surprise !!
I was near the shop picking strawberries when a voice called out hello, it was the voice of an old friend I hadn't seen for ages along with her husband and three girls They live in Ireland, It was lovely to see them, I am now thinking of all the things I should have said and asked.

New Lambswool Yarn

I have just got a load (yes, just about a lorry load as my father would say) of some lovely local Lambs wool.

This is all Arran weight, someones going to be busy, Oh and that is a little of my knitting using the alpaca(from the scottish borders) yarn.

Must dash, lots to do. I need someone to tidy up after me, any volunteers?

Ruby's Scarves

Better Late than never,
It has been such a lovely day today, I was supposed to do so much but surprise surprise, tomorrow is another day!
Just before I closed the shop yesterday Ruby came in, Ruby is a lady who is on holiday and she came for the first time on Sunday and bought some Alpaca Yarn, from the Scottish Borders I might add ( have I said that before), then she came in on Monday for another ball and some mohair and this is what she showed me on Tuesday
Its amazing, what will she do with the other mohair I wonder, we can just wait and see.

For Auld Lang Syne

Friends, where would we be without them.

I have just the best of friends, they are very patient, understanding, kind. When I don't contact them for ages because of whatever is going on in my life, we pick up the threads of our lives and carry on as if the chasm of time has never existed.

Thank you friends xxxx

Today someone was asking if I would do a jewelry workshop on line, what do you think? would anyone else be interested.

What do you think of this sock yarn made into this wonderful baby set?

Its lovely isn't it? A lady called Marga knitted it and she is knitting some of the same but in a local Alpaca Yarn plain knit, then when I get it in, in some cashmere, can't wait.

Tomorrow I will show you how my Alpaca scarf is getting on.

Monday Morning Blues

I was just about to say goodmorning, then looked at the time - where does it go?

Good afternoon!!!! At last I have got the cashmere organised and ordered, and making plans to not only dye it, but make Baby Clothes with it. I sell Alpaca baby cloths which is wonderful, but I can't think of anything nicer on a baby than cashmere.

Over the weekend I knitted some more jewelry, I am finding jewelry my new 'socks' at the moment - can't put the needles down.

windy wet wednesday

After a few absolutely glorious days I woke up to rain, I knew it was too good to be true. What a shame for the holiday makers.

As you can see it is dry at the moment and the barometer shows going on to fair.

At least it gives me some time to sort things out in the shop, and finish of editing the web site. Talking about the web site, what takes 1 normal human being a day is taking me about 20 to sort out the site.

On a positive note though, I am learning as I am going along and can only get faster.
