Elizabeth Designs looking for a new home

Bog off Gillian !

We know you are not in the habit of doing this, plus you don't come here just to market stuff, so it's a little different. If you look at some other usenet groups you can see why being a bit rigid about advertising pays off - rec.crafts.textiles.yarn would be a good example of what can happen.

Oh dear - now I need to go check which ones I don't have in case you have them!

I'm thinking about a serious clear out myself, there are few I know I'll just never do!

I was lucky with masses of yarn - a friends mother is knitting comfort bears for kids and she mentioned running out of yarn and I took four boxes of yarn ends lol Now I have her knitting catnip mice for the shelter as well, they can be any colour (the cats aren't picky that way) and take little yarn to do. They sell very well and easily raise funds. I have a simple pattern if anyone wants it, after making

I'd love both the catnip mouse patterns...original and pared-down. I've got tons of leftover yarn ends in my stash and know plenty of cats who would love them.

I wouldn't mind getting the comfort bear pattern either. :)

If you don't want to post it here, the email address from this posting is a good one. TIA!

Sheena...could you zap one to me? I have knitted dishcloths until I am blue in the face, for a Cancer Fundraiser. Maybe the mice could be something else my hairdresser can sell for the cause. I have masses of smallish ends of the dishcloth yarn, which I can use.

I was going to post but there is a pic with it, so will email.

On it's way, they succeeded well beyond my expectations as a fund raiser !

Super. I was going to ask about the definition of worsted ( it does change), but found that the cotton dishy stuff is labelled as worsted..

Now to finish the current dishcloth......and start on cat-treats.

What we used to term 'quickknit' - but I have only used left overs so if it is finer (i.e. sock yarn) I use two strands - cats may own their slaves but where catnip mice are concerned, what they look like, does not concern them !
