It's been a rum old week, full and frantic, I've watched my neice and nephew a couple of times who are very funny and very 'busy'.  The remote controls have ended up in some weird and wonderful places, in shoes, under cushions and even in the washing machine.  I've also had a sick child of my own to take care of which has brought back memories of sleepless nights from when she was a baby.  I woke up thinking 'I cannot possible function today in any way shape or form' and that was after a couple of hours lost - how on earth did we cope night after night?!

I've put a couple of new fibres on the site today, Topsy and Goldie which we think will look lovely knitted up for the summer.  Topsy is much more delicate than we usually dye but we thought a subtle shade would be a nice change.

We've also put on a special (new feature folks).  This is going to be our Yarn of the Week at a discount price.  So if you've always wondered what it would be like to knit with handspun, why not give it a go with this yarn, dyed in shades of teal and blackberry, there is 100g of it so enough for a pair of socks or skinny scarf.  Go on - give it a go!
