Carolyns' Customs Mark II

Custom pics

A busy time here. Cassie is on her pre operation meds, she seems to be ok on them, if a little sicky. We are still fattening her up, so that she has plenty in reserve for her recovery. The operation is still on track for the second week of January.

A sprinkling of snow on the ground outside. As you can imagine the children are willing a full covering of snow by the morning. I love snow even though I, without fail, fall on my ample behind whenever I venture out into it!

The photographs are of a recent collaboration with Neelam, for Buy British Month.

The green/brown/cream is a colourway called Cassie Coo on Organic Merino Aran base. The finished longies are for Carolyn's little girl Poppy.

The second photograph pink/damson/green is of a colourway called Laurenella also on Organic Merno Aran base. These have been sent to their new home with Laymon.

Soaker pattern testers wanted

5 testers needed to test knit or crochet one or more of my current patterns. I have tweaked the base soaker and lallypants soaker in particular.
I would also like some feedback on my waffley good soaker either from those who have made the latest version or from someone making it for the first time.
I will require all participants to add the knit/crochet to their ravelry projects page and convey their thoughts to me via my ravelry group.
As a thankyou all finished projects will be entered into a draw, the winning one shall receive 100g skein of hand dyed dk or aran, bfl or merino.
You will get 1 entry for each finished project.
Any questions? Mich x.

TNN order is complete, just reskeining the last of them. Piccies to follow, but I'm too busy to do them today.

I have a pop eyed dinosaur to correct, vhc longies to lanolise, skull and cross bones to knit and cna dip dyes to prepare. Will post piccies when I feel on top of the bulk of it ;)

Week's Round up.

It's been a busy week and next week promises to be even busier!

So far we have been enjoying WAHM Collaboration month on www.wahm.co.uk a new Buying, selling, swapping site. Bit like ebay but MUCH cheaper to list your lovely stuff. First 300 members get a £5.00 credit to their account so you can sell £250. of stuff for free - I think my maths is right?

We are also really enjoying Buy British Month on Cloth Nappy Addicts, see us here http://clothnappyaddicts.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=22159&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

My customs list is still full until March, so I have teamed up with Neelam (Neels) another talented WAHM so she will be taking on any knitting orders I get throughout the next month.

We have Cassies preop and legal stuff on Monday, so I won't be online for a couple of days. Everything on my to do list will continue to be up to date as, whatever happens on Monday, I have made contingency plans ;)

TNN Ladies I have been assured that the remainder of your base wool will be here Mon/Tues.

Thomas - Look out for the postie on Tuesday as your special green wasn't dry enough to send today.

Sneaky peek!

Restocking the store today.

I'll be restocking the wool section of the store today. I'll be adding the wool throughout today so you can preview before it goes live at 8.00pm GMT It is a small restocking as I am concentrating on Buy British Month and WAHM collaboration month.

Louise your longies are finished and lanolising.

Carolyn, your parcel was received.
