I have just bought (in Topping and Co.) Winifred Holtby's The Land of Green Ginger. That sounds like a good colour for Great Woolly Owl.

Cornflower

It certainly does!
By the way, Harriet was telling me again yesterday how much she enjoyed her visit to Topping & Co., and she is not one to go into raptures over bookshops, so full marks to them.

Claire

I was in there again last Sunday and it was nicely busy so I have high hopes for them.

Darlene

The mittens will be so lovely and warm! Sometimes, if alpaca gets wet, it can carry a whiff of the beast so if a snowball fight is in the cards...

Liz F

I adore the book (now have about three copies of it as I couldn't resist the Virago edition to add to my less decorative earlier versions!) and that wool looks lovely. If only I could knit!

Carol S

I'm in love with this company (and I love Loop too, close enough to visit)- am so very tempted, though I have enough stash and projects at the moment.

Cornflower

When I was in they said business had been very brisk, and I hope that continues.

Cornflower

I'll bear that in mind, Darlene!

Cornflower

You'll have to learn, Liz!

Cornflower

Loop is wonderful, and yes, I have quite enough wool to be going on with too, but it's good to have a range to choose from when it's time for the next project (or that's my justification for the moment!).

Carol S

Yes, but how to store? My ongoing problem, and then how to search through without it becoming a massive project in itself? My TBRs take enough managing...
Having written that I did dream about those shades last night.

Cornflower

I've been matching up the patterns in my Ravelry queue with my yarn acquisitions, so I have a list (not set in stone, of course) of future projects. It may also be a good idea to print out the pattern and bag it up with the yarn - and the needles if they are not already in use - so that everything is to hand.
