I read her fascinating account of he family wedding mosaic and then went poking around her website, which inspired an instant urge to take up mosaic-making. That may well go the way of my paper-making urge, but I have bookmarked her website and will go back from time to time.<br />- Beth In OntarioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-78858966420610511872014-12-04T13:56:57.557+00:002014-12-04T13:56:57.557+00:00I remembered reading that Kate herself bought a yo...I remembered reading that Kate herself bought a yoke in a bag on ebay. She writes about it here:<br /> <br />http://katedaviesdesigns.com/tag/munrospun/<br /><br />The best knitting followed up so far from your blog this week is those red Rams and Yowes. Colours chosen with the help of a colourblind boyfriend have resulted in something which is so wonderfully evocative of a red sky at night. It set me thinking about other possible colour combinations - sheep in snow under the moonlight - sheep in twinkling frost and stars - sheep awash with colours from the Northern Lights - colours for the four seasons..............Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-23593212026292947932014-12-04T13:41:24.519+00:002014-12-04T13:41:24.519+00:00I must order that book.

I imagine they show up somewhere, as our stash no doubt will.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-36011592723843732322014-12-04T12:48:54.840+00:002014-12-04T12:48:54.840+00:00Been reading about your problems with pop-ups.

She is a little young to remember "cut out and ready to sew" dresses and blouses, offered in women's magazines, or even the "skirt length" with tweed, lining, zip and label. These certainly do turn up on e-Bay, but are not "having a moment" as Fair Isle seems to be.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-20353054912529150042014-12-04T09:31:37.521+00:002014-12-04T09:31:37.521+00:00My uncle was a commercial traveller for Munrospun ...My uncle was a commercial traveller for Munrospun .

The colours were gorgeous, but the wool was a bit of a problem since it was non standard thickness, making finding a pattern rather difficult. This was pre-EZ, when I didn't know I could just jump in and do it!<br /><br />Back when I used to get Falcon wool for everything they went through a spell of selling well-matched tweed to go with their top range yarns. That was R S Duncan, of Bradford, - now long departed.jeanfromcornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062674591619616456noreply@blogger.com
