So many fun things to talk about....

Hmm, played with sock machine all afternoon, trying to get the ribber to work, but then some needles broke and I am one ribber needle down, so I might change the formation of the rib, and add some more, but I was hoping to make some last minute socks as presents :-(, anyway we'll see.

Posting for items purchased in the shop.....Shop never closes by the way - nor do I, so there is no reason I will stop blogging or packing parcels!

If you order I will send things out as I get to the post office, and I will slowly update the shop with all the things that are in the stock room, but I'll do it when I am in the mood, lol. There are more things to go in the sale, so I will have  a January sale, and then after that probably no sales for a very long time, lol!!!! That will start on the 2nd.

I am very excited, I am getting a spinning wheel for Christmas, and so in preparation I purchased some fixing things for my Patrick green drum carder, which means if it gets fixed there might be some gorgeous carded/blended batts in the shop, one thing I LOVE making, lol. If it doesn't work, then I have been stashing fibres for a little while, so there is no way I am going to run out hehehehehe.

So seeing as for once I might actually have some time off from working, there will be project photo's and progress, carding, spinning, sock machines, knitting - I want to design and knit a scrumptious cabled tank.  There will also be a serious amount of cooking going on, if you want to read about that I would keep an eye out on the dinner at the chapel blog, festivities start tomorrow, and so all my cooking trauma success will be recorded there, hehehe. There are some visits from some woolyheads you might recognise, especially on new years, ........

Ok, off to pack last packages, wash linen, tidy chapel, and make myself stay away from fiddling with the evil sock machine.....

Happy winter solstice folks, I hope you all have a good one.....
