I like the colours of yarn you've ordered.<br /><br />I spent quite a bit of money on both http://bookdepository.com/ and http://hive.co.uk/, the later will deliver to my local bookshop and promises that some of my purchase money goes to them too.<br /><br />I am the auntie that gives books and I'm planning on meeting three new babies at the end of the month - so did Christmas/Birthday shopping as well :)Missus Wookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08137463465514115553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-52582361193940949242016-10-05T04:06:58.057+01:002016-10-05T04:06:58.057+01:00Most of my things for October are not-so-little (c...Most of my things for October are not-so-little (custom scrapbook-for-hire projects, classes to teach, finishing up the craft room set-up), but I'm hoping for a little time to get back to regular blogging (& blog reading) as well as some scrapbooking for me!<br /><br />1004 - that's a lot of patterns. :) And, yes, supermarket pricing does seem erroneous at times, doesn't it.

Think in the Olden Days when I knitted I actually did something like that!!! HAHAAAA. Now, that was 'another life', when I spun wool & baked my bread in a wood oven...roll eyes. Yeah, prices are the same here. Weird. Annoying when you're a one or 2 peep family...... October means getting ready for SUMMER here, LOL....just thought I'd pop that one in;)!!!!Lizzy Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635794099699316625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-34431874078946169092016-09-30T10:45:23.393+01:002016-09-30T10:45:23.393+01:00There's a chill in the air (and heavy rain on ...There's a chill in the air (and heavy rain on the way), so it seems a good time to be thinking about hand knitted sweaters in beautiful colours.

Them, ebay and charity shops are really the only places I buy books now. <br /><br />I have a friend who makes lots of her own clothes. She'll turn up to crop with a big bag of fabrics and patterns and if anyone asks what she's doing it's always something like 'my Winter/Summer wardrobe'. But if I had to make all mine it really would be slooooooow fashion. <br /><br />I hope your autumnal cheeriness and organised-ness rubs off on me ... I'm very nearly in panic mode! New work stuff, project stuff, Christmas shopping??? ... I do have a new polo-neck already though ... so at least I won't freeze ...

As you know we are not in dairy but the dairy farmers are having a hard time. Some supermarkets sell litres of milk which"give farmers a fair price" . Could that explain the difference. Sadly it's a conflict between the supermarkets competing for the best price and the farmer gets stuck in the middle. Shall I shut up now or shall I start on eggs?! Or maybe supermarket potatoes....

You gave us lots to think about in today's post though. I love that sweater pattern, and your choice of yarn is lovely. Can't wait to see it. I stopped sewing for myself years ago when I realized I could purchase the item for less than I could buy the pattern, fabric, and buttons. My daughter has a new sewing machine, though, that I'm admiring while visiting her, and it is renewing my interest. Just what I need---another project!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510788797735066383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-25183611656336945822016-09-29T18:51:12.032+01:002016-09-29T18:51:12.032+01:00What a lovely post Sian!
