In between my last posts & today's I have made so many pretty things in lots of different mediums. My current loves are back to my roots in knitting & crochet. I've today just finished a gorgeous, thick chunky scarf in Rowan Tumble in a zingy lime green, shade 561. Tumble is a sumptuous blend of 90% alpaca & 10% cotton. The pattern, Bobble Rib Scarf is by Gemma Atkinson & is a free download from www.knitrowan.com. I whizzed it up for Black Sheep Wools to take to the upcoming stitch & hobby crafts show at Ally Pally. I hope you like it. I love it. x

Hello all. Well, what can I say but apologies for leaving it so long between blogs. A lot has happened since my last post. I re - entered the workplace with a fantastic company, Black Sheep Wools who are located  in Warrington, UK. I joined initially to pick & pack internet orders over 2 years ago & after about a year I joined the team in the award winning Craft Barn. I'm now the full time team leader there & over the last year we have picked up 2 more awards: Best I dependant Yarn Store North of England & Best Yarn Store Experience. We have a great team of girls in the barn & I love my job. x

Hello April

Well march has said goodbye & we welcome in the new month of April. I'm glad march is over, it was hectic & I'm utterly exhausted, but I learnt a lot from it. Most of all I learnt that I'm not as well as I think I am & that I have to slow down even further. Sitting here just writing this has my heart racing, I'm really hot & very nauseous & I've only been up for 2 hours! So I had better keep this one short and sweet.
I'm happy the clocks have gone forward & we have so much more daylight, although this keeps me going longer & I forget what time it is. So I will have to plan in more rests each day to compensate for this. So I'm going to take it easy this month, still endeavouring to make as much as I can from the supplies I already have - no more buying , just making and selling (I hope!)
Got my niece coming for an overnight visit today, we will be cheering on her boyfriend in a rugby match in Tyldesly tomorrow, it's a semi final match so they need a good crowd behind them at the away venue. Then it's half term so I have the company of my son for 2 whole weeks! Yay. x
See you all in a few days. Have a great April.
Love & light,
Stacey
