So Much Wool And So Little Time!

Right then - just tidied up and loaded my shades of Debbie Bliss Fine Donegal onto the website. Finally got round to putting all the pictures of Cashmerino Aran on and this happened:
A delivery arrived in the afternoon, just after I had got it all tidy and I am now so stuffed with wool, including the new Louisa Harding Susurro which is fabulous, that I really don't know where to put it all:

Any suggestions?
Maybe I could offload some to all of you quality knitters out there?

And, by the way it is not like I have got nothing to do. I have recently inherited a Silver reed knitting machine along with an older Knitmaster. Can't believe how productive I have been in such a short space of time. And it really isn't like I need a new hobby:

This reminds me of the Princess and the Pea!

So I am beetling away for our Christmas fair which darn it I still have to book. Have already picked up a commission for these cosy objects though, and before she heads off with it here it is:



 It's the one on the right. Anyway if worst comes to the worst everyone knows what they'll be getting for Christmas! This weekend I am tackling socks after a great day of lessons from an amazing machine knitter who spent the day showing me shaping and cast on combs and making a v neck etc etc. They will be translated to Christmas stockings for the window. Sorry to say I don't do Halloween - not for religious anythings - but just don't see the point. It was a real non event to the generation I come from and I never did quite get that American thing of flogging us all plastic pumpkins and the like. (Little rant there)

Added to it all I went to see the lovely ladies at the Much Birch WI and gave them all a talking to about spinning, knitting and fibre. I do love doing these - such an amazingly polite audience compared to year 11 boys!!!!

Well, that's it for now - off to the shop today and tomorrow to put all the wool away and reload the website as I now have loads more shades to put in - darn it!
