Saturday the hubby and I went to Coventry for the UK Ravelry Day. On the way there, we stopped in Leighton Buzzard and picked-up a lady whom I had met on a UK Ravelry Day forum offering and looking for rides. Her name is Tini and we honestly could not have had a better car …
I hinted yesterday that I would have a post of all of the goodies that I got while in Edinburgh today so here it is! I primarily got yarns at 2 shops, K1 Yarns and the department store John Lewis. The reason for the John Lewis expenditure is two-fold. First, they had some Noro Kureyon, …
So, on Saturday we took a bus tour up to Inverness and the Highlands of Scotland. This is the area that folk always think of when you say Scotland, more mountainous and rugged. And beautiful, it’s really, really pretty up there. We went to Urquhart castle on the banks of Loch Ness. It is …
Yes, I finally got the hubby to release the photos from the cameraphone onto the laptop! It is a win-win day for all of us. Please remember that I didn’t have a “real” camera with me so there aren’t as many photos as I would have normally taken. Also, it was pouring down rain a …

I finally got some stuff in the mail that I had been waiting for. One of the things came in these boxes: For those of you with sharp eyes, you might notice that the tape on the boxes matches that of a box I recieved prior to settting off for the States. Here’s another picture …
So, of course, I get asked right about the stuff that I picked-up at Maryland Sheep and Wool. Ok, so I got a few things (I took a large camping sized duffelbag that was full on the return). Here’s a sample of some of the things that I got in Maryland. These are balls of …
Today I got this package delivered to me. It is from the British Wool Marketing Board. I placed an order with them for both some posters and some wool for spinning. Today, I got my posters, as well as a few other goodies. I ordered the posters to help decorate my attic yarn …
This was a busy weekend. On Saturday we went to Leighton Buzzard for some supplies. We decided to to go to the downtown area of the village rather than the sort of outlaying area that we usually do. I had heard rumors of a yarn shop there and the market was going on. So, we …
