So this is an Aran cable sweater, suitable for the intermediate knitter ( a few cheats up our sleeve that make it not as hard as it looks!). Written for sizes 8-18.
Whilst the building works proceed at a scarily fast pace the yarn store has had to be moved. Until January our temporary store will be a short truck ride away and then a two man opening job. So today Carrie and Kerry took new batches of yarn to the store and did a bit of sorting out, it also allowed us a chance to assess which colours and weights we need to send to the mill next- a mushroom DK for instance and a new steel DK.
In other shop news Kerry, fresh back from her holiday, took receipt of some vintage roller-skates today. Here she is testing them out in the office and also taking an important call with the pattern book designers. Luckily amongst all the sorting out we've found some knee pads that may well come in handy!
