well not really as I have a new addition to the stash…
Look what arrived today, she writes shaking with excitement 😀
Eleven balls of Patons wool blend aran (63% wool). I am embarking on an aran cable-knit jumper for my nephew. I have gone for a wool mix because of the laundry 😃
N is pulling his hair out at I spent a lovely afternoon yesterday going through my yarn jumble. So when this arrived this morning he nearly dropped his cuppa…
I also potted up a planter with primulas and tete a tete which I’m hoping will look pretty for Mothering Sunday ⚘⚘⚘
My fingers are tingling as I’m very keen to get my new project on my needles. Progress will be shared😂
Woolly wishes,
Jane ♡♡♡
WOOLLY WEDNESDAY 
As much as I love working in wool, the parents want easy to wash — so I buy blends as well and also washable wool. But feel like I’m breaking some sacred knitting sacrament when I do. I look forward to seeing your project!

Thank you Lisa. I’m not sure my nephew knows how to follow washing instructions, in fact I think he throws it all in together so needs to be fairly indestructible 😄

I know I should attempt to finish the WIPs that I unearthed while going through my yarn jumble but far too excited by new yarn 😂

new yarn is always exciting! just make sure N is otherwise occupied the next time you have a parcel of yarn to smuggle indoors ^^

Well I’m hoping that the next lot I buy will be from a shop in which case I can resort to my usual habit of leaving it in the boot of the car until he goes out when I can sneak it in and hide it 😂

Just gotta ask: are you in the UK? Noticed you refer to the car ‘trunk’ as a boot – usually English/Irish/Scots reference. The flowers are gorgeous and I can sense your excitement about the yarn!

It is so sensible to use washable yarn for baby things. I made my first grandson a beautiful blanket in superwash merino. I was so pleased with it and it was complimented in the hospital and in his pram. Then she washed it and put it in the dryer – I could cry now just thhinking about it, but it was my fault. I didn’t give her clear washing instructions – hence my current habit of ‘Give it back to me for washing’ to all recipients. Though I do use blended yarn now. That looks gorgeous by the way. 🙂

LOL my nephew is 31 this year and as he lives over 400 miles away I won’t be offering to launder it – he’s on his own 😋 I am quite pleased with how this is starting. Progress shot at the weekend when there is enough to photograph ❤️
