Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

Piglottie

From 14 to 27 September 2007, my friend Charlotte will be undertaking an arduous sponsored trek in Peru to raise money for the Rainbow Trust Children's Charity and in memory of her dearest friend, Georgie, who passed away last year. I am holding these auctions to help Charlotte reach her target of £8,000 before she sets off – and every penny of the auction total will go to the charity as Charlotte has already covered the cost of the trek herself. For more details, visit Charlotte's blog at http://sendingtheprincessofpurpletoperu.blogspot.com/

Auction 2 - Hipknits Pure Silk DK

This auction has been very generously donated by Kerrie at Hipknits - thank you so much Smile

Up for auction we have 200g (approx 440 yards) of Hipknits Pure Silk DK in the most stunning shade of silver/very pale blue. This yarn is is truly luxurious and is one of the most unusual yet beautiful colours I have ever seen, like a very, very pale blue or silver (I sooooo would love to keep this yarn Smile

). There is enough here to make many projects, and I think it would look stunning as a Montego Bay scarf.

*******************************

The auction will finish on Sunday 9 September at 7.30pm. Payment is by the Justgiving website only (secure online payment but if you have a problem, please pm me) and must be made by Tuesday 11 September at 7.30pm The auction includes postage so please bear this in mind when bidding.

I think the reason that people cant see the pics is because we are having problems with our local service provider (Kingston, only available in our area) and the photos are saved on MrP's site which is on the Kingston server. This is why one minute you can see them and the next you cant, as the site is playing up intermittently.

I have loaded the pics on to flickr for people to view and hope this helps:

Sorry about this but it is something out of my control, and thank you to the people who have placed bids unseen Smile

Current Bid: £10 with Glynis
