    s-michaels - stuff 'em! They don't know what they are missing.
    Blimey Shezmit, that's enough to fill 75 bras! May have to give one a go...but pattern looks like high concentration needed.
    Mioilere, may I volunteer to be your resident therapist at Chez Mioliere? Part qualified in relevant subjects and love good bread, cheese and wine :D
    I must confess that I too have been on an Aldi splurge - bargains too good to miss! Mixed results re readicut order though - details on THE KNITTERS THREAD if anyone is interested.
    DH has just bought an expensive camera so is currently keeping quiet about my stash and even went to Aldi and got the yarn for me! Not sure how long that will last - hopefully as long as the repayments on the blimmin camera :rolleyes:
    Thanks for the great idea re the vacuum bags. It's either them or move to a bigger house!

    Hi all,
    talking of donations, you may remember I mentioned last week that I had bumped into a sales rep at my favourite woolshop & asked him for a donation - WELL - surprise or what, I had a call from the woolshop - a parcel waiting for collection!!!

    Turned out to be 9 x 100g balls of very nice yarn. 7 of which are 4ply

    Now girls -the thing is - I don't usually use 4ply. I know I can use 2 strand for DK patterns but it seems a shame if anyone likes working in 4ply :

    If you would like to use this wool I will happily send it out for you, there is Daffodil yellow, Palest pink and nice Pale blue

    Dont all shout at once.

    luv

    shelly i've got some boobs i'd done for LH but as there request seems to have fallen through im happy to send them to you. I'll habg on to them till the beginning of may and see how many i can get done.

    Lou had asked for 300 for this months challenge on lh leeds had said they wanted them and offered to contribute to a charity for them then backed out and said they had sourced supplies elsewhere- it might be worth asking lou if she would consider helping you out with them if she is already recieveing some. i know hers wont go to waste as she will find a home for them but theres no harm i asking is there?

    do you prefer yours flesh coloured? or arent you fussed.

    Im not really here i was going to be too busy after lunch time today to log in again wasn't i;)
