Glitter Star

I agree with the above, but my favourite hen is a White Star. It's a small, white chicken which lays beautiful white eggs. She is the best layer we have and easy to handle, although some people say these are flighty birds.

Does anyone know if these have all gone?

This is one of my favourite yarns as well. I've made lovely soft winter socks with it.

Sorry for the late notice, but I'll be there. I'm looking forward to it.

I'll be there, but be warned it's the night before I go see Strictly Come Dancing so I might be a bit giddy!

I hope it's not too late to join the Stashbustalong, but I'm making some socks with leftover sock yarn. I've just posted about it on my blog so scroll down if you want to see the progress.

Happy New Year to all you knitters! I was wondering if any of you have knitting related New Year Resolutions? I think mine is going to be to try a new sock pattern every month. I always stick to plain socks or Monkeys, but there are so many more out patterns out there.

You are so right there. I scrolled down them all and that was the one I would have chosen. That looks like a real luxury yarn.

Show me... show me... You've definitely got my attention there!

Thanks for the suggestions. I had thought about dyeing some wool but couldn't quite be bothered. Instead I've ordered the same yarn as audreym. They look really nice together. I think I might do the same pattern.

I'd like to knit a pair of socks for someone I know who is Irish and patriotic. I'd like to knit with the colours of the Irish flag and stripes would be great. Does anyone know of a sock yarn and where I could get some easily? Many thanks.
