The Knitters Thread

Hi Folks,
I see lots of good knitting going on .
Well I have finally finished my cable cardi, using fake cable and Lidl tremori....it is a bit shorter than pattern but I expected that and it will be a great shoulder warmer. It is all finished but just getting a wee wash just now.
Here it is:
.

I am now going back to doing my red scarf- I love the colour and looking forward to getting on with it!

Here it is so far:

This is not the wool Lidl have in just now, but from a while ago, sorry if I confused you.

I think some of the wool they have just now would be ok for children's things, although it is all pretty much 100% acrylic.

I am here to confess, that, just as I was telling myself -no more knitting yarn until I've used some up, because my big, big Ikea box stash is rammed full - I saw loads of beautiful, chunky yarn being priced up in a charity shop.
I admit it - I fell off the wagon and bought (for £6! ) 14 x 100g balls of Patons Pablo Extra Chunky in a gorgeous mix of blue and sea greens. It is very very thick and needs 7.50mm needles and I don't think it's available any more. It is 45% wool and is so warm to the touch - think I may knit my son and his girlfriend a huge throw blanket - better check they like the colour then, before I start!

How lucky are you!!!

Wish I could find a bargain like that, I wouldn't have to fall off the stash wagon, I'd leap headlong!

They have different wools/yarns/needles/hooks in every now and then.

Hi Berrybug, if you go onto their website you can sign up to be sent the e-mails which tell you in advance what their special offers are. You just choose which particular store you wish to be notified of. Aldi do the same. Hope this helps.

Sorry OrkneyStar, didn't notice you'd posted the same information!
