It's a Halloween Treat... no tricks... honest!!

Because it's a spooky day today, I have got together with one of my bestest buddies, Lottie, to bring you this special edition mini- Tote bag and yarn collaboration :)

The set will consist of one skein of sock yarn, in either the "Yoda" or the "Goblin" colourway, and a lovely little project bag in an orange skull fabric, and there's only one of each available.

The bag measures approx, 11 inches by 13 inches, and is fully lined in black cotton.

The set will cost £20 ... and will have free UK P&P...

New at Babylonglegs !!!

I have wanted to stock Emma's Skull stitch markers for AGES... talked about it with her at KnitNation, but never got around to it, then saw her at Fibre Flurry and amongst the madness, managed to make an order :)

They are available in two sizes, 4 mm snag free rings or 7mm snag free rings....and you can have them in Metal (pictured top) or Acrylic (pictured bottom) and they are priced at £5 for 4 :)

I have some acrylic ones, and being the skull freak that I am...they are my stitch marker of choice ;)

They are in the shop now!!

Ally Pally

So, 5.45AM on Saturday morning saw me and Lottie getting up to get a coach to Ally Pally...can't say I was entirely happy to be getting up that early, in fact I was quite grumpy, but it was worth it, because I got to spend the day with my two best friends :) I don't get to spend whole days with them very often, especially Woolly Days, as me and Lottie are usually working together selling yarn......

The Three WoollyTeers...all sporting chapeaux a la Wormhead

This was my first purchase of the day...an awesome, hand drawn picture of a Pirate Sheep, called Vern !!! The artist, Sarah Macintyre, was on the Stitch London stand, and I fell in love with her illustrations and commissioned something with a skull in it.

Isn't he just brilliant???

We wandered around all day, looking at fabrics and yarns and lots of other things too... and I decided I'd like to make myself a Morsbag, as they had a big display and 4 sewing machines all set up, so people could just sit down and make one. I think it's a wonderful idea...using recycled fabric to make reusable bags.

Here I am, proud of my sewing Skillz ;)

A rock and roll themed Morsbag, in the huge display they had set up. There were so many, all on different themes, the only limit is seemingly the creators imagination...!!!

We caught the coach back to Leicester at 5pm...and I was totally shattered by then...havn't fully recovered from it even now...I am getting old!!!
