Patterns Discussion / Jalie

Has anyone ordered paper patterns from their site? I'm debating placing an order for one pattern but I was just wondering if they have any must buys since I am already paying postage?

I have recently ordered from here having found them on my hunt for nice patterned jersey. I got some really nice peach fabric with swallows on it in the clearance as well as some fake suede in navy with some box detail on it. I also splurged on some grey jersey with clouds and some with sheep on it (the knitter in me couldn't resist it). I also ordered some plain cotton jersey which was very nice as well.

If like me you are ordering in Ireland so using a parcel forwarding service just beware the samples came separate from my main order (they have to be phoned in or emailed which should have been the clue for me!) so were a second parcel but if in the UK it was very prompt.

A Good Yarn / Re: Any knitters here?

Yep another knitter here. I knit as a child and my grandmother at the age of 94 is still knitting away. I had stopped for a long while but when I was pregnant with my 2nd and 3rd kiddos I was too hugely pregnant to sew comfortably so I started again. Now I sew during the mornings when everyone is at school or preschool (not everyday but when I'm working on something) and at my class and in the evenings I knit in front of the telly.

My current project is a jumper that I just need to do the second sleeve for and on Saturday my favourite yarn shop is starting its spring KAL so I hope to start another jumper then (must finish sleeve before I start something new and shiny!!)
