A little more Kisiizi

Liz Marley sent a delightful Baby Surprise Jacket knitted in Trekking

which I think is a brilliant use of this yarn. I wondered if she used two strands together, but she assures me not. (It has made quite a small jacket.) Liz also sent a nice hat:

I phoned the charity that ships out to Uganda. They don't set dates - once the container is full it goes - but they're still aiming for October some time. I don't want to miss the boat, so I'm going to start packing everything up and will probably take it to Essex next Monday. If anything is hanging loose on your needles, now's the time to get it finished off! My problem now is to find 'banana' boxes. I don't think supermarkets have proper cardboard boxes with lids any more. It seems that this particular size (about a metre long) is the best for filling the container sensibly. Any ideas?

Amazing discounts are available here at Couponalbum.com related to the clothing and accessories.........I mostly shop at this site and get discounts on every purchase.

Hi,

I have accidentaly deleted your e-mail, sorry. Sent the cardis, caps and a blanket via air-mail on Tuesday. Hope they'll arrive on time.

I have a reprint of an old postcard advertising Barbour's Waxed Thread, and on the reverse it says that "John Barbour, a Scot from Paisley, founded the Barbour business in 1784" - it sounds like the present one? Will bring pc to Libertys this week....it's a lovely card.

Sorry, just realised this comment should be under another blog entry - apologies.

So pleased to hear about your Mother.

How about a posh florists' if you have one locally? They often have the long flat cardboard boxes lilies, glads etc. come in... It may be that that sort of box gets sent back to the supplier these days, but all I could think of...
