Postage :(

Just a quick post to say unfortunetly with the Royal Mail price increases we have had to up our postage rates, as before we have kept it to a minimum and it is still one price no matter the size of your order.
We have also decided to continue with the free 2nd class postage for another 3 months so its not all bad news ....................and even better sign up for our newsletter and recieve 10% off your next order !

Boo to Royal Mail ........... Yay to us !

Wonderwool 2009 !

Hi,

Well that took 2 weeks to recover from Wonderwool Wales ! After transporting the whole shop (yes units and all !) we set up shop for the weekend, A fab time was had by all and huge thanks to Janny T, Sue and all the boys for help with setting up.

Janny T !

It was brill to meet up with all our friends, online customers and other traders for a hectic Saturday, we gave out all our Ravelry badges pretty quick and it was really nice to see a large Rav presence there.

Here's some pics x

Love Patisserie moment!

Didn't get out to buy much, although a few things slipped through ! some gorgeous silk from Artisan Yarns, some alpaca socks for a pressie (never finish my own hand knits!) and some merino 4ply from John Arbon, a slipper felting kit and of course Love Patisserie tarts ! It was exhausting but we loved every minute of it so until next year.....................or maybe June !

Next stop - Uk Ravlery Day in Coventry on June the 6th.

Why is it......

That I want to make so many things ! I spend hours looking and queueing projects on Ravelry yet I never seem to complete anything, yes I am a serial starter !

'Hello my name is Lisa and I have been a serial starter for 2 years now ! ' is really what I should say, shame myself into finishing some things, so I have decided to make this......

from start to finish and I absolutely will blog regular updates of my progress !

Yay !

Its here ! Most of the preorders have gone out today so look out for your parcels !

The Debbie Bliss Magazine !

Just a quickie for those of you who have preordered the Spring/Summer Debbie Bliss magazine, we are still patiently waiting for it to clear UK customs, Designer Yarns (DB HQ) have told me they were expecting it to arrive today at the warehouse, they will dispatch it to us within 48 hours and we will get ours out asap !

Thanks to everyone waiting, and we hope you will have your magazine to enjoy with your weekend coffee !

Snow time !

Yeah it snowed ! and it snowed and it snowed ! and now we are snowed in.......hmmh my love for the white stuff is evaporating, especially as I have just gone over on my ass doing a beautiful yoga position I didn't know I could do trying to walk to the shop (its ok I'm not injured)

Though more importantly Internet orders are going to have a delay in being dispatched, and tonights knitting is cancelled, apologies we hope to be up and running asap.

although the weather forecast tomorrow is worse................

Enjoy the snow, I'm off to knit with a cuppa !

Happy Late January !

Well okay we missed New Year ! All sorts of things have been going on here, first of all we had the Knitclub Christmas Dinner at the Baron of Beef, in Bucknell about 10 minute drive from the shop (well recommended for 2 for 1 on all mains by the way if you are visiting us !) and we had a fab time !
Some more than others - pictures to follow !

We had an OK Christmas, Mum has been really poorly, first with the Noro virus then with a racking cough which turned in to pneumonia, she was in bed for 3 weeks and is still coughing and weak now, I managed just about in the shop, thanks to everyone offering their help, we have ended up spending most of January restocking, and for filling orders from the Christmas time, apologies for anyone still waiting we are having deliveries all the time and are slowly catching up.

I have an aim to update this blog every week so watch this space and feel free to remind me when I haven't done it !!

Take care for now x x
