    there is someone outside

    Graces , keep ringing the guards , they might be able to get someone , even the ferry men , to go check on you and hopefully scare or take him back to the mainland .

    sokay; they know and will get her when they can and trhey will have by now calld the ferryman who for some reason got the creep to come here

    this creature is not an islander .. the noise outside will have been an islander checking the delivery was inside. probably the ferry man . noone came to the door so they are respecting that and te creep will not now dare make trouble any more

    Well, I can see the ferryman;s house from here and he mine.The last while one of the brothers has been on the driveway there .This is unusual so maybe they are keeping an unobtrusive eye? Bless them.

    You sound like Mrs S: new wool = new energy, new projects and extra smiles. I don't get it myself but I'm the same with new fishing gear, I suppose.

    I hadnt knit for about 20 years and then only very basic . I got the Knitting for Dummies and found it great ! Also watched loads of you tube videos and started with very plain cardis . Now I have confidence I play around with patterns and incorporate bits from different patterns . Keep at it !' I get requests all the time now for baby knits

    I was feeling really drained and run down after work today but I’m TH that a cheesy dinner, chocolate and a couple of hours singing at choir practice have cheered me right up!

    Sometimes charity shops have yarn to sell? Springwools in Dublin bless our work ; they keep a big box in the shop and collect oddments and have a iist of charities they support, And I mean a BIG BOX. I could sleep in it.. All kinds of unusual and expensive yarns...

    A woolly story if I may!

    I send mos of my work to Canada where my extended family and colleagues work with the huge numbers of homeless.

    They keep abreast of what will sell;I have not used patterns for many years.

    The latest is "infinity scarves" long enough to twice around the neck an then to the waist. They are joined into a circle, hence the name and are about 90 inches long.. I add cables to everything as it being knitted on an Irish island is a real sales pitch

    So there was a large full ball of Aran cream in the box and I made the set. Scarf, fingerless mitts and wide headband,
    They sold there for an amazing price!!!

    So Margaret was out in town one day and saw!! MY SET on a lady! She could not resist and said to her, " I know who knitted those. "

    The lady replied," I KNITTED ALL THESE,. I AM A KNITTER"

    Margaret challenged that of course but the lady insisted it all her work
    But we have labels that are sewn discreetly into a seam...

    People!
