HSKS7 Wish List

Well, I saw the post for Hufflepuffs and thought that I'd do this too!  Make sense to do it now rather than later.  I sent off my form, made a mistake on it by missing out my blog address, re-sent my form and am now waiting to see if I'm in Gryffindor.  Anywho, here goes:

Wishlist.

• A tiny headed crochet hook for putting beads on knitting - I currently use a bit of wire, and currently keep losing it and getting it stuck in my bottom, foot, leg, wherever I lose it...
  
• Someone willing to have Knitpicks stuff sent to them and to then mail it onto me (obviously I'll pay all the costs) as Knitpicks won't ship their yarn to the UK :o(
• Some Knitpicks Handpainted Sock Yarn - any colourway, but I do like the witchy one.
• Interesting sock yarn - I prefer using sock yarn to knit lace with and have an idea to make a lovely afghan with lots of different coloured sock yarn squares...
• XRX publishers Great American Afghan books - this is the big expensive wish on my list and will end up buying them when I come over to the US in April so don't feel you have to get me these.
• Cinnamon and Brown Sugar PopTarts.  I adore these and they don't do this as a standard flavour in the UK which means when I find them in a specialist food store I end up having to decide if I want to pay the equivalent of $8 a box...  Again, I will be purchasing many when I come over in April!

That's about all I can think of at the moment.  I like most things that are funny and knitty/witchy/yarny related.

Tinkwych Treasures II

Have just set up another shop on another UK based site, but this allows for international shipping:

Tinkwych Treasures - MISI store

Link should be live soon.

Tinkwych Treasures

Bit of self-promotion here.  I've opened up a shop on Folksy.  Basically, this is a UK version of Etsy.  At the moment it is only set up for selling to the UK, but I am willing to send worldwide if there is something on there that you desire.  Mail me and I'll sort out a price in your currency and postage costs.

At the moment I'm just selling stitchmarkers, but hope to expand to other things at a later date.  Put in an order for more charms yesterday to make some more sets, which is very exciting.

Shop name is Tinkwych  Clicky on the link or go to http://www.folksy.com/shops/Tinkwych

A wee bit of knitting completed...

The start of the Invisibility Cloak.  Using Chart C followed by Chart B.  I really do love the 4 ply silk from The Knitting Goddess 

I want to do some knitting...

But, until I do get everything done I won't be able to do any knitting.  I want to restart the Goddess Knits Anniversary Shawl with some amazing yarn from The Knitting Goddess I'm using the 4ply silk in slate.  Will make the perfect Invisibility Cloak!
