Well done Bodgit and thank you Brenda.  I won't demand a recount although I'm convinced my phone was tapped.
BTW Copra is dried coconut kernel.

I think I've been knitting too long to move over to square section needles - a step too far.  I would have thought it would take a while to get used to them.
Anyway, I've done the deed.  While I've not been here I've ordered a set of symphonie interchangeable needles.  I'm looking forward to trying them out.

I do like your fabrics and your border vegegrow and  glad to have some company in the HOF.

Lowena, if you can't get your head round the cutting instructions you might find it easier to just look at the final sizes of the pieces and cut them from 2½" strips.  That's how I cut them because I happened to have some jelly roll strips hanging about.

I'm tempted to buy a set of Knitpro interchangeable needles.  I've had some of their beechwood dpns and they're wonderful.  I don't normally knit on a cable (I've only used one for finishing necks in the round) but I know a lot of people do now. 
Does anyone use them?  Are there any drawbacks?

 For quilting fabrics I like JB Quilting Fabrics.
They have a very good range and a 'design board' so that you can see how fabrics look together.  Postage costs are very reasonable and delivery is nearly always next day even when I have ordered in the afternoon.
The only negative is that you have to order in half metre units.

I'm on 104.  I see I need to carry on scratching my head.

Gosh, what beautiful little machines.  The one I had as a small child was still around quite recently, I must ask my mother if she still has it.

Hernibs, Glenveagh is one of my favourite places in the world, I love the walk alongside the loch to the castle.  I didn't recognise the gates though
