Are there any objections if I use the leftover wool from the Edgar and Rindercella blankets to make something for Blondes? I've got loads! Anyone with leftovers feel free to pm me about either sending it on or sending more squares :)

S'ok, Piste. Some deliveries from the online suppliers are taking longer than expected despite claims that they are posted out first class. I think the issue is probably that they aren't posting them out very quickly. Arse.

I have had two lots from Cucumber, arriving in 24 hours. As you say, probs posted first class, when they get round to it Hmm

KnottyLocks · 18/05/2011 18:16

I'm still trying to work out why a wool supplier is called bloody Cucumber Hmm

KnottyLocks · 18/05/2011 18:17

I'll give them top marks for customer service though. Wholesome do gooders Grin

They must also think I'm quite a busy knitter Knotty!

If only they knew how crap I am at craft Blush

Are you a Knitter Knotty?

More of a Knotty Knitter Grin

KnottyLocks · 18/05/2011 18:25

I am a very very basic knitter who, up until recently, hasn't knitted for a couple of years. I'm more of a fabric type! I even had to get some new needles as I couldn't find mine. So, take heart, you are in good company Smile

I'm not in a huge rush at the moment, I'm working on a stetson and a pair of baby converse bootees in crochet, plus 10 bandana bibs and a blanket on the sewing side... Plus the full time job Hmm

On the plus side, I have an interview for some direct payment work on sat and for a 3 day a week nanny the following fri so hopefully will soon be in a position to do mimapants fulltime Shock

Wonder if my green and silver wool has arrived anywhere yet? Fabby knitters unite!

purplepidjin · 18/05/2011 22:08

Ooh green and silver! Good combo!

I had one for Edgar's which was teal green with matching metallic thread run through it...

Good luck with the job interviews, Pidj. I can imagine you being a fantabulous nanny Smile

Androbbob, I'll look into it!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 18/05/2011 22:27

Oo. I was just hoping someone lovely had received Ballard blue today. Obviously they cant say on here - then can just send me knitty vibes

purplepidjin · 18/05/2011 22:27

Meh. Week on Friday one has cancelled. I drive a 1970 beetle which, while a fantastic car, is a) expensive to get business insurance on and b) not something I'd be comfortable transporting other people's dc's in (drum brakes, no airbags, no side impact protection... it's just a steel shell with the engine inthe wrong place). Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Anybody got a job I can have???

OP posts:
KnottyLocks · 18/05/2011 22:43

Er, no job, sorry. Could you crochet one?

KnottyLocks · 18/05/2011 22:51

Piste, I do believe you should be feeling knitty vibes Grin

KnottyLocks · 18/05/2011 22:53

Ok, please PM me if you are still waiting for your wool. At least I can check to see when it was ordered...maybe.

Blummin work again tomorrow so I'll get back to you later in the day.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 19/05/2011 06:19
