Today was another Craft Fair day at the Ledgowan Lodge Hotel at Achnasheen.  And it was a really successful day!  (By the time I remembered to take a photo the stock was slightly depleted).  It is amazing how wool really just sells itself.  There was a rather gratifying moment when someone bought a pair of the baby socks that I had made, saying that she had no-one to give them too, and didn't know anyone who was pregnant, but that they were just so lovely and she would just leave them somewhere where she could admire them from time to time.

Now another photo to share .... Linda (who doesn't have a blog but if she did she could just fill it with her lovely handiwork!) has just finished a Shetland Shorty using one skein of my hand dyed yarn.  You have to agree that it's rather lovely.



Linda used the Greek Sea colourway and she had to modify it slightly in case she ran out of yarn.  So she missed out one pattern repeat on the armhole section, and she knitted the smallest size. She assures me she had approximately 10g of yarn left once she'd finished, so it was a little close, and I would recommend getting two skeins of yarn if you hope to do any size bigger than the smallest size.  It is so good to see folk being creative with my hand dyed yarn, and making things other than socks.  It was something I was trying to get across to people who came to the fair today, and a number took skeins to try knitting small baby cardigans.

I'm hoping to get in some Scottish spun yarn next week, including some lace weight, so as soon as I've done a bit of testing on the yarn I'll let you know.
