Just how long it has to be unused to be so labeled will vary according to policy and local laws; I've had accounts threatened that had been unused for a mere six months, while others sat happily for years. Not that it makes much difference these days, but it can take a few days to get a shelved account reactivated, which can be a nuisance.=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-56921007552299280772013-06-07T14:06:41.637+01:002013-06-07T14:06:41.637+01:00I am surprised the bank can take money in an accou...I am surprised the bank can take money in an account and move it somewhere else without the person who the money belongs to initiating the transaction. <br /><br />As for Craftsy, I am signed up for four classes and haven't yet started a single one. Soon I will have to start referring to it as my "Craftsy stash."<br /><br />I am currently knitting a pair of socks with the new Rowan yarn. It is beautiful in terms of the colour and the feel of the fibre, but I have to say I am not sure I like it for socks. The jury will be out on that one until I have a chance to wear them next fall.kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-64558642536188589282013-06-07T13:22:15.730+01:002013-06-07T13:22:15.730+01:00IT does seem odd that we have ArtYarn at the Yarne...IT does seem odd that we have ArtYarn at the Yarnery here in St. Paul, yet not in the UK. It does seem lovely, but I don't think I'll make socks with handwash yarn. Maybe for me, certainly not for gift socks.

She is an inspirational teacher, and her explanations are both clear and confidence-building. And she has some really interesting applications such as double-soled socks and pockets. Alastair Post-Quinn's class is competent, but his slightly awkward knitting style (and use of less than optimal cast on and cast off techniques)just make me feel a little uncomfortable. Having said that, he does much more on colour work than Lucy Neatby.KarenEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-24938129383220102332013-06-07T10:04:00.714+01:002013-06-07T10:04:00.714+01:00I do so agree about the continuing absence of the ...I do so agree about the continuing absence of the Rowan Art yarn. It seems only in the UK that the stores have not received their deliveries. We will all have moved on to the next thing before having had sight of it.
