A need to knit

I'm waiting for some wool I ordered from my favourite online wool supplier www.hejhog-uk.com but it hasn't arrived yet.  I've got a real urge to knit at the moment!  I'm about to embark on two Debbie Bliss projects (and still have one ongoing): 

A peg bag (Mum's birthday present)

And a blanket for Number 2.

Nothing like setting yourself a couple of tight deadlines!

But I should be preparing for the forthcoming Buy it Baby fair on Saturday 22nd October at Otford.  So much to do!  Will just keep using the excuse that I need to wait for my new Tanya Whelan fabrics to arrive from Gone to Earth.  V excited!

I do like...

... the new Cath Kidston prints, particularly the Country Rose but I just don't think I can justify £65 on another bag...

And Mr WP would most definitely kill me!

Hobbycraft

A Hobbycraft store has opened up near me recently and I made it in there this morning for the first time.  I was really impressed with the range of stuff they have, although I did think it was rather expensive.  They had a great range of Tanya Whelan fabrics, sadly all at £12.99 a meter which put me off splurging.

Much better to get them online (www.gonetoearth.co.uk and www.cottonpatch.co.uk are two reasonably priced suppliers I have found so far) and save yourself at least £3 per meter.

But on first browse, a good local place to go for odds and ends.
