snow and yarn

Yes we had some snow too yesterday. This week has seen Britain crippled by snow, which is quite funny to a Norwegian. We had about an inch here yesterday and the schools were closed, we had no rubbish collection and we couldn't get our car out of the drive. Simon took the day off too. He probalby could have gone in late but rang his boss and took the day as annual leave. He's already had Monday off as flexi leave. We only had snow yesterday and it was gone by the end of the day but the girls were thrilled to have a day off school. They were out playing in the snow at 8am.

My plans were ruined yesterday. I'd planned to meet up with Tina and go to the knitting group at Spin A Yarn. I've never met Tina before although we live really close and I think we were both looking forward to the day. I was also meeting my friend, Marianne, at Spin A Yarn and all the other lovely ladies there. I love going up there once a month as it's a gorgeous yarn shop. So I was very disappointed when I had to spend the day at home. even the snow didn't cheer me up.

Luckily everyone's back at work and school today but the next Spin A Yarn knitting group isn't until March.

I've managed to list a few yarns yesterday. I had a big clear out of my studio on Sunday. I spent two hours and four bin bags sorting stuff out and there is still mor eto do. I found I had a lot of yarn that's not been listed so I'm aiming to work my way through that in the next week or so. I've checked the dollar exchange rate again today and decided to reduce my prices. Sock yarn will now be $16 and lace yarns $18. So alhtough the sale is officially over, a lot of the yarn prices will stay the same. And the sale yarns will stay at their sale prices until I get time to go through the whole shop and change it. Here's a taster of some of the new yarns listed:Today we're back to miserable rain by the way. And it's cold and windy. REally miserable. Luckily I managed to pick up the brand new copy of The Knitter magazine earlier. That might cheer me up a bit.
