Thank you Saira - my skeins from you arrived today - lovely goodies to add to my blanket - and a lolly! (lovely card too)


Dont know if anyone knows this already but there is a travelling mini-skein bag swop on ravelry just starting in the uk? Someone starts a bag then it get sent from person to person - when you have the bag you take out what you want and replace it with an equal amount. This is thru the 'blankiemania' group. I have signed up - really must actually get some knitting done!

Thanks to Minxy, my skiens arrived yesterday. I love the colours and can't wait to make up some squares using these and the ones Josiekitten sent.

Here's the lovely set of mini skeins that Tatty sent me. I received it last week, but was just off on holiday, so have only just got round to taking a photo. They're a lovely mix of different yarns and colours. Thanks very much Gina!

I have sat on the beach at Joss Bay today crocheting squares with the mini skiens I got in the swap. It was lovely.

Just noticed that Violet Green is offering 10 x 10g mini-skeins of her Socrates merino for £11.00. Good excuse / reason to visit the website I think! :smile:
