Thank you - the colours ARE lovely which is why I'd hoped someone might be ble to make use of them - as I said there's a shade over 200g.

Blue squishies will be in the post this morning, all apart from one who is having it sent with something else because she's a sweetie and it saves me postage.

Glad it reached you safely
I too received my Georgeous Grubby Tiger Skein this morning and I've been glowing all day, all visitors have had the skein thrust upon them to admire and DH thinks I'm back on the pills *lol* (owing to the fact I been sniffing and preening it everytime I pass it on the side table)
This was a lovely idea of yours n _________________ Paula x

A glorious melon flavoured skein arrived chez Melody this mornnig and it's beautiful!! Thank you so much Natalie. although, I'm sort of thinking that it's far too luscious to make something for someone else for Christmas.....  _________________ Melody's blog

I have a grubby tiger here too it arrived late this afternoon. DH raised an eyebrow when I got home from mams and it was so satisfying to tell him how I had aquired it. I will be having a sort out now...says DH
Thankyou n it's totally gorgeous...it may have to worn by me but a grubby little tigger would be cool too. _________________

Ula and Morgandi are my favourites - I have bought 7 skeins of Velvet Plum to make Una
You can see the patterns here btw
I wondered where this post had gone, please ignore me, it should have gone in the wonderful workshops thread! _________________

Although I will find it hard to part with the skein of squidgyscrumptiousness...I have decided that as it's meant to be for christmas I am going to make the leisel scarf (scroll down a bit)
After studying the colours, I felt that it reminded me of the dying embers of a bonfire...all misty ashes and a pale glimpses of orange and yellow, subdued by the mists of rain that ALWAYS happens on Nov 6th....Anyhow I thought the leaves might help replicate my vision and it will be passed to someone in my family. I thought I might place it in the middle of the living room when all the female rellies are together and let them scrum for it. It could be an interesting christmas.
*politely doesn't notice that Joy nipped in and apologised for her rogue post*
...say's she who once talked of pmt, knickers and tampons in a totally different thread altogether...
