Well I ventured into town on a mission. I went very early. I went in two shops. Iceland and poundland. No expense spared.
I am mid knit of a little matinee jacket and because I am not very good at planning and thinking these things through, I started it without checking! Anyway, I was aghast to discover I wasn't going to have enough, however, it would be OK because when I look in my boxes of eleventy trillion balls of wool I am BOUND to have more. Nope!
I'd miraculously kept the band and happily realised its some wool from Poundland on 3 for 2! I must have bought one ball of each of the blue, rusty peach and white just for the stash! Its the white I am using and it has a little sparkle.
There was none to be had in my two local poundlands and I wondered if any of you stashers out there had and of the white that I could buy from you inc postage? It doesn't reeeally matter that its a different batch of white because it wont be that different and its for the sleeves and yoke.
Hoping someone can help. Poundland might get some back in stock soon but I actually have an urge to get this one finished!!
I'm of no use, my sparkly is teal or purple!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful cardi, what pattern?
I will have a look when I get up and tell you xx
DeleteI don't, sorry, but fingers crossed someone will be able to help. It's a very pretty pattern.

Thanks Joy, it's ok I can wait four it to be back in stock x
DeleteI've not got any of the wool but will have a look in my local Poundland for you.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you but only if you are going in anyway xx
DeleteSorry can't help, could you not add the peach as a contrast.
ReplyDeleteI maybe have to! X
DeleteI'm so sorry, I DID have some of that wool, but used the spare ball up at Christmas to knit angels for charity. I would happily sent it to you. I do hope somebody can help.
ReplyDeleteAww Thank you Angela, I'm glad you used it for that charity xx

ReplyDeleteIf I happen to call into town this week I will be sure to have a look in Poundland for you. X
ReplyDeleteAww thank you Jules, but only go n if you would have - worried about people's safety xxx
DeleteSorry, I've never bought yarn from Poundland but I was tempted to buy some from TOFS last summer, a pack of 15 balls and 10% off, but I have enough stash to start my own shop. sorry I can't help you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris - I've a shameful amount of wool in my stash! But still always on the hunt for more!
DeleteSorry, no sparkly wool here. Most of my stash has been consigned to the loft!! (it was threatening to take over the house and I only really crochet in winter). Did you get my card? Xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sooze, no card yet but how lovely to look forward to one xxx My stash won't fit in the loft for all the other hoarded stuff up there hahaha
DeleteSorry I don't have any. I hope you find some. Please could you tell me the make and number of the pattern? It is lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, I will post the pattern details on my next post - don't have it to hand just now.
DeleteI have 1 ball of sparkly yarn!! I am wondering though if it is too sparkly!! I need to send you a photo to see if it is suitable. By the way.... Hi I am back on my blog after 10 months away.
