Well, at least one other person likes the idea, so I've started a Ravelry group. It's at http://www.ravelry.com/groups/mse-ravelry - if you're logged in you should see the link to join. If you're not a Ravelryeryeryerer... go and request an invitation from the homepage :-)

Thanks blueberrypie :T - I also joined last night .

Hi, this is my first post on this thread - I'm so glad a friend pointed it out.
Luckily I live close enough to walk to this shop :T, it really is an Aladdin's cave. Watch out for some even greater bargains in the very near future - nudge, nuge, wink, wink . I bought some Patons Inca there yesterday for 69p a ball, so DH will be getting a new sweater.

Does anyone else use the Denise Knitting system from America?

Hi Unity, I too bought some inca for OH and in the process of knitting a jumper using the Eizabeth Zimmermann percentage system so I didn't need a pattern. I started it last Sunday and have knit body and sleeves up to the armhole and now decreasing for the neck.

I have a set of Denise needles and use them a lot, they are cheaper than the addi turbo ones and I like them, I have just treated myself to an extra long cable and size 7mm needles for the set from kangaroo as they stock them and this size isn't in the original set.

Has anyone got a discount code for this show. It mentions it on their website but not where to get it. If I can save money on the admission price - thats more money to spend inside :j :j

Snap - I also ordered the 7mm size plus the two new larger sizes that came out recently. One of the ends on my 20" cable snapped - so I contacted the people at Denise and they're sending out a new one, so I ordered my additional needles at the same time. I hope they arrive soon. I'm knitting DH's sweater from the Inca pattern book - just following the conventional pattern as it is also knitted in size 7mm.

This site also stocks Denise needles - but I haven't checked for prices - just thought it might help if you need anything in the future: www.woollyworkshop.co.uk

Well I just finished my pink/gold fun fur waistcoat. The husband says I look like a wee pink glittery polar bear in it. I think I look more like a pink orang utang. I DEF need to stick to the diet ....:(
