I received my first edited book pages last week. What a ride. I’ve never "been edited" before; or at least not by a professional…
Turns out that my use of exclamation marks, capitals and lots of dots is rather over the top… well, I’m a self-confessed drama queen after all. And I thrive on pressure (adrenalin junkie as well, yes). So true to form I find myself losing sleep over the fact that the site is still not updated, my stand banner still not painted, and my list of must-knit items steadily growing. So here I am on Tuesday morning well before 7 am, computer buzzing, in an attempt to catch up with myself, despite the Easter school holidays. P’s off to Sweden (I’m envious; I love Sweden) so I’m relatively housebound unless I come up with some thrilling kids’ excursions. But we’ve just spent a day at the Hawk Conservancy near Andover (please all go, and then decide to join as a member once you are there; you will not regret it) and our eldest is lining up an array of sleepovers this week. That’s all the excuses I need to get on with my work, so P’s early departure soon propelled me out of bed. I must admit that the clear blue sky helped as well, together with the radio 4 weather forecast, promising warm weather. Hurray, Summer’s on its way!

Hi Linda, Hope you are enjoying the easter school holidays and get a chance to re-charge your batteries as it were!!! I now have a onderful pair of socks which have been knitted up after buying the kit at Olympia II. Wow they are soooooo comfortable that I am now being plagued by my family for some more… I feel a little bit guilty but only a little bit as I have been checking the site on an almost daily basis for your toe up sock. I know you will get round to it when you get the chance. All the best with the book also. Regards. Helen

I enjoyed seeing you on the stand at Wonderwool Wales this weekend. I like your website so far but appreciate that it is still under construction.
I could find no contact details for you on the site, hence the blog comment.
I bought a sock knitting kit. Is the yarn 100% Blue Faced Leicester? If so it is 100% wool and therefore not sock yarn which would include some man made fibre for strength.
