I am getting a little excited, I am off to colinette tomorrow on a knitting and shopping spree, lace knitting in the morning and finishing tecniques in the afternoon with 2 1/2 hours of spending in the middle, I am a little hyper about it, I just hope I can sleep as I am setting off at 6am so need a little sleep, lol

Sounds like fun, not to mention temptation beyond endurance in the middle. Look forward to hearing about it.

What a fantastic haul Chrissy!! I am ashamed to say I havent yet got to Colinette - and I live in Wales albeit being North Wales. Perhaps one day Question

I bought some tagliatelli a year ago from our local wool shop and although I used 2 balls alternating rows as the pattern said it looked terribe, just as if it had faded all down one side!! so have undone the shawl cardigan and over dyed the yarn with red and turquoise - it looks much better and I will now knit up again - too expensive to waste!!
