I know its a long time since I made a post. My excuse is that I've not been able to access the adminstration of the website for a long time because long suffering William is making lots of wonderful changes. Sometime very soon my web will be looking a lot slicker and hopefully you will be able to buy direct from the website.

Spin A Yarn has been a very lively place this Autumn last though with some brilliant workshops, even if I have posted no new photos or articles since the summer

My daughter Katie ran the shop on her own for a week and did brilliantly. Her fiance Dan constructed a load of new shelves for me in exchange for knitting him a new sweater. I've just finished the sweater which I made in the wonderfully soft Chunky yarn by Lang called Tierra, which he had chosen. Fortunately it knitted up on 8mm needles so was quite quick to do.

Now I can back backto my own projects. On the needles I've got the wonderful little lacey jacket, Loden Mist, from Knitters magazine, one Opal sock (I've finished one), a wrap made from Rare yarn Surino, a lacey scarf in Touchyarns brushed kidmohair/superfine merino and I've just started a new summer jacket knitted in the brand new silk cotton mixture from Rowan.

I'm looking longingly at the beautiful Cashmere from Shalisdair that I bought at Ally Pally in October and the yarns which I have in my stash from  the Fleece Artist and Handmaiden yarns, as well as my beautiful hand spun. Where do I start!!
