I think it’s about time we had another post! I’ve had these lovelies all to myself for the past week, so maybe I should share them.
Laceweight cashmere…
…4ply merino…
…and laceweight merino, all in gorgeous colours and all available from YarnAddict Yarns. 
The Inside Loop gets a short mention in the latest of the Cast On podcasts! I was jumping up and down with glee when I heard Brenda talk about us. Cast On was the very first knitting podcast I ever listened to, and is still my favourite.
Go and download it now! Not just because we get a mention
but because it’s a brilliant podcast as well.

We received a fantastic parcel from Jamieson and Smith today.


Firstly there’s a stunning kit for The Gibbie Shawl, with 1ply Cobweb Yarn. I may have to secretly hide this and keep ALL FOR ME!
We also have…


…a Banff Sweater kit, with enough gorgeous olive green Shetland DK to knit even the largest size…

…a lovely Tronda Scarf kit, complete with two soft balls of 2ply Lace yarn…

..and 5 x 30g mini skeins of Shetland Supreme. Perfect for mitts or a hat.
Phew! I think that’s enough yarn ogling to satisfy even the most obsessive yarnaholic. 
Sorry about the wait, the Style Sheets are now ready for you to download.
Knitting Pattern Style Sheet
Crochet Pattern Style Sheet
Please follow directions and adhere strictly to the fonts/styles, etc. I don’t want to sound like a grumpybum but it will make our lives SOOO much easier if everything comes in looking as it should. In fact, if we run short on time, patterns that aren’t written in the correct style will be ditched, I’m afraid.
Click on the links above to download the Style Sheet as an MS Word document. Save it to your computer and use it as a template to write up your pattern.
Thanks!

Not all cookies and parcels indeed! Well, no cookies today, anyway, but on Saturday there was a lovely yarny parcel.

10 x 50g balls of Tess Dawson Merino 4ply (yes, I know there are only three in the photo, but we do have 10!) in teal and 4 tiny balls of Tess Dawson Suri Silk in black, both yarns available from Angel Yarns. The Suri Silk comes in the tiniest balls I have ever seen! It’s delectably soft and we have a shawl’s worth.
