This is a post mainly to say a humongous thank you to a wonderful person called Julia who is so thoughtfully kind and generous and has sent me 10 balls (!!) of yarn from her stash (which, judging by what she sent me, must be an amazing treasure trove!) Julia, I can't thank you enough, I love all of it but my special favourites are the baby alpaca - a beautiful butterscotch colour and very soft, the gorgeous luxury tweed - the mottled colours are lovely and the wonderful ball of red marl cashmere. I was so excited by this that I had to begin knitting with it straight away. I've not knitted with such fine guage yarn before and have opted for 2.25mm needles (tiny stitches!). This will become a most luxurious jumper for one lucky little bunny - I love the marl effect and it is extremely soft. Thank you Julia for making my day. Aren't some people amazing?
I'd also like to thank everyone who emailed me when my shop went on line yesterday evening. Thanks to everyone who bought a toy and many apologies to those of you who were pipped at the post. I will be making more soon and will email my advance list the day before putting the shop back on line. Have a great weekend everyone.
