Hi everyone
I put a wanted on freecycle for wool well today someone put up" wool for the person who wanted it " so I thought hooray emailed back and guess what some cheeky person has taken it how very dare they:mad: but the lady did say that when she gets any more she will give me a ring :T
so close but so far away

Aww Lucie - what a shame! if you were nearer you could have some of my ever expanding stash.....I *need* to have a declutter, but am starting with the obvious such as baby clothes, outgrown Ds clothes and my stuff, before I go anywhere near my wool!!!

ADDED SINCE LAST UPDATE:540
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU SPOT AN ERROR Ta! Pam xxPam.:hello:0 -
Hi peeps
sorry for the delay with the update - its been one of those days, starting with the weather - yuck! Was supposed to take Mum out this morning but had to cancel - no point in getting her wet through, so spent a couple of hours in the Home with her, spent
¾ hour unraveling a rats nest of wool - still haven't worked out how she gets it in such a state.
Then had to go to the woolshop for more supplies for her, what a chore:rotfl:, of course I couldn't control myself - bought some Patons Whisper for my stash .99p ball
and a full pack of Olive Green DK which is 50% merino wool 50% acrylic - again at .99p a ball. - either a cardi, shawl or shrug for ME
A call at the supermarket then just managed to get home when a migraine hit.
Still, coffee and pills have pushed that back and its stopped raining - we now have sunshine - yippee!!
Hope all are well - hugs to everyone!
luv
Pam:smileyheaPam.:hello:0 -
Roamininthe gloamin - Jean have finally managed to get the pics from the camera to the wooligans, cribs included. :T
Need to lie down in a darkened room now - far too techie for me !!

Thanks for the update Pam.
Have just had a look on Wooligans - LOVE new pics!
Dawn your boobs are fab and Elaine your cribs are absolutely beautiful. They must take you ages.
Lucie, wool-karma will get your stash thief!
Don't tell DH but bought 2 more balls of wool today. Just the 99p from Wilkinsons but thought it would be nice to do something for LH in something other than baby colours or white. Now just have to work out what to do with it!
Glad your fencing is finished Mrs MP - I'm sure you would rather have had needles in hand than creosote brush!
Hope everyone is well x0 -
Me again,
check out this http://megan.kiwi.gen.nz designers site - some lovely free patterns - including one which is similar to the Baby Surprise Jacket which is so difficult to get a hold of.
luv

Elaine, Well done you, trying to get onto wooligans next but I am that pleased you did the techie thingie doo dah with the camera - we do surprise ourselves at times at what we are capable off - well I do.
Pam - love those patterns will bookmark them for tomorrow they need further investigation- hope the migraine goes really soon - I just take more alcohol - well if your having a headache it might as well be a big one
