    Mardatha - someone else was looking for red aran yesterday and was having difficulty, another school mum suggested a web site, I will see if I can remember it. Meantimes have a glass of wine - I think you may need it :)

    How much weight wise do you need Mar? I've got some somewhere but not sure how much?

    Nope, I've got a glut of cotton or variegated sock wool.

    I promise to behave. I haven't created a sock puppet account to carry it on.

    Just a quick suggestion. Could we all stop picking at the spot and get on with our lives. I've spent 40 years sorting out similar 'differences of opinion' in school playgrounds, and I've retired! It would be just lovely if we could all act like grown-ups.
    That is positively my last word on the subject.

    Ginny: Not just a rest, it was definitely Pam Ayres wot made me better.

    Anyone: mine's a smooth, rich red. Large one for preference.
