Had a message from Kate at F&T this morning (posted 11 hours ago) that my wool had shipped. That's a fortnight after ordering and two days after finally sorting things out with her

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 16/03/2012 09:07

Well, that has put me off of ordering from F&T!

PurplePidjin · 16/03/2012 09:16

Morning all Brew

RedRosie, I'm not a knitter either so my profile should be safe Grin

Good job you're speedy, Oma! That's appalling service, though Sad

tribpot · 16/03/2012 09:44

Ouch, Oma - what a shame. Glad it's finally on the way.

KnitterNotTwitter · 16/03/2012 10:56

Oooh - my extra ball of wool has arrived - thanks Knotty.... Might try and do just one more square before posting them off....

DutchOma · 16/03/2012 13:46

But still has not arrived...

RatherBeOnThePiste · 16/03/2012 13:52

It will come tomorrow Oma, I just know it

Very frustrating. We are still waiting on some Cucumberpatch orders too Sad

Just checking PMs Thanks

Let me know if you need the address for posting!

DutchOma · 16/03/2012 14:07

Is it still going to Knotty? If so I have her address, if anywhere else I will need it, please.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 16/03/2012 14:10

Yes Oma - to Knotty, and can you indicate on the envelope which blanket the squares are for? Although actually I know some of yours will be obvious Smile

But thank you

Thanks
mumatron · 16/03/2012 15:12

thanks.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 16/03/2012 15:15

Hang on my lovely - just going to check for you, am glad though it has reappeared. Will PM in just a mo....

All of mine will be fairly obvious. If not, you can use them for either. I'm hoping to stick them all in the same parcel, but won't have that much time for knitting in the weekend.

KnottyLocks · 16/03/2012 16:09

Oma, post them all in one. A few days late will be fine. Even a week. It's going to take me a while to sort through them all.

OP posts:
DutchOma · 16/03/2012 16:28

In that case how many do you want. I have seven ready and four more balls coming. I was going to do four more, one in blue for a twitter bird and three in pink for Mrs Kwazii's blanket. I was then going to keep the rest for the next time. Because I have no doubt that, sadly, there will be a next time.

nickelhasababy · 16/03/2012 16:36

i just realised i forgot to take photos of them!

nickelhasababy · 16/03/2012 16:36

wow oma that's impressive knitting! :)

RatherBeOnThePiste · 16/03/2012 16:49

That seriously is impressive Oma!
I have managed one Grin
And it's still here Blush

KnottyLocks · 16/03/2012 16:50

Oma, 1 blue and 1 pink would be fine, unless you want to do 2 pink. You little treasure Smile

MadameMessy · 16/03/2012 17:31
