I have decided that I will invest in clothes this year. I need 4 tops, a new pair of trousers, and several pairs of unmentionables. And a jacket. Will probably my limit. Hope the charity shops come through on the tops and the trousers.8

Hi all,
@PipneyJane the best news
after your last project when you were playing yarn chicken I am not surprised you ordered more
I have frogged a blanket I made 50 years ago with my Mum's scrap wool. It had been nibbled by the moths when I had the moth attack. Strangely they only went for 1 bit and even though I thought I had sorted it, it was starting to unravel so I have frogged it and removed the nibbled bits. I am going on holiday tomorrow and it will be coming with me to be remade, but better. There are quite a few memories in that yarn .
Take care everyone12 -
