Kangaloonies member Linda

When did you learn to knit? I've been knitting since I was 5. My mother taught me when I was in hospital recovering from nasty burns on my neck when someone threw a sparkler at me on November 5th.
What did you start with? I knitted dolls' clothes first, then moved on to scarves and then bigger things. Then I stopped until I had my children and then started up again knitting things for them.
Have you continued the family tradition? Oh yes, I have taught my children and now I'm teaching my grandchildren to knit, they all have a go. Scarves tend to be what they want to knit most.
Favourite yarns: Noro, Rowan and Colinette. I like natural fibres and unusual yarns. Sari silk yarns are good too, anything with lots of texture and strong colours.
Favourite pattern? I like following patterns, but I also like to introduce my own designs and yarns into something to make it different and more personal. I'll often only have one ball of something but I know it will come in handy to add to the right projects.
Favourite project? I'm into socks at the moment!
Favourite needles? Lantern Moon straights and circulars are lovely, I suffer a bit from arthiritis so the the the wooden needles are great.
Kangaloonies Project: my favourite project this year was my Noro jacket (shown in the image)

Mini Mochi

We have a very exciting delivery arriving this week with more shades of this gorgeous sock yarn. There are four new rainbow shades, Beach Scene (see above), Blueberry Pancakes, Lake Trail and Fireworks, plus six solid shades for the more conservative choice. Don't forget the FREE patterns that are available to download for all the Crystal Palace yarns. Mini Mochi will also knit to most standard 4 ply patterns and is too lovely to just use for socks!

Debbie Bliss magazine

Well done Amanda! she has managed to get out all the back orders for the new Debbie Bliss mag on her own today. We have also had a top up delivery of a few of the Amalfi and Ecobaby shades, but they are selling much faster than we can order them in......, plus a few more Mini Mochi shades.
