There are some lovely bags on there Liz - I liked the knitting bag. |
I haven't knitted with it yet but it does feel lovely and squishy  Very good value I think, currently works out at around 1.80 a ball, although they only have 8 colours in stock at the moment. If you're ordering from elann the cheapest shipping option is surface/no insurance which is around 10 pounds-something. It generally takes about 6 weeks to arrive. I do think it's the sort of place it's worth ordering at least a copule of sweaters'-worth from to get the best value Their own "mill" lines like the Quechua are fantastic value but they also do have great deals on other branded yarns.

Very tempting I got some Peruvian Highland Wool a couple of years ago and their service was superb too 
Franney I love those - I especially like that plus size waiscoat - in fact I was looking at the book today!!

I get the magazine and although you can order the patterns there is normally a time lag before they are on the site. Must go and have a look
