I just got back from the post office, and boy are the roads terrible!!! It's been raining for over 24 hours now, and all roads into Carlisle have turned into rivers! I am not exaggerating, the drain system does not cope with all that rainwater anymore (same old story everytime it rains too much...), and yes I was a bit sweaty when I drove through the rising floods, mind you it even started to snow while I was out there, just to give the whole scenario some extra spice... Let's hope that the drains in the city and out here will do their job alright, I mean, people are still recovering from the last flood, still arranging their new furniture, and their plaster on the walls has not even dried from latest renovations!!

Well, I  have made it home safely, and I have just got a few moments left to show you what I have been working on in the past few days. 2 custom orders finished and dispatched, and a new gorgeous OOAK Merino yarn design, which I have called "Dreamcatcher". It is now for sale in my Etsy store at www.alltheprettyfibers.etsy.com, here are some pics:

My memory has been very good lately, so I even took some photos of the 2 custom orders before they went out in the mail. The first one is a very soft lambswool design which the customer (a very very lovely lady from the Highlands) requested to be painted in a warm custard yellow. She said that stronger yellow shades would make her look like she was dieing ;oD 

and of course I am always hoping to see a photo of the finished knitwear...will I, will I??....come on Jan! Will I? :oD It is indeed a very nice and warm yellow shade, very spring-like!

And this is the Shetland slub yarn order that has  now made its way to Italy:

my slub yarns are very popular for dreadmaking, freeform knitting and knitted felting projects - the thick and thin look is characteristic for slub yarns and handspun that way on purpose. If used for dreadmaking this yarn will make thin to medium-thin dreads:

All my slub yarns are displayed in my ebay store. Feel free to Visit My eBay Store for more details!

Everyone, I hope you will be able to keep dry tonight,  wherever you are!
