October, Socktober?

After a lovely holiday in France, came home to find there has been a run on my new style heel-less socks in the Museum. Just about ran out of yarn so a hefty order (by my standards) has gone in to Wool Warehouse. For once, I ignored all the Drops Fabel shades and chose a mix of several different brands. As I am demonstrating at Winter Woollies at end of November as well, have now got to work twice as fast to replenish shop stock, some for show and some in hand. Manager of museum is going on to a different job, wonder if inevitable changes will affect the Textile Emporium. On holiday, completed Sami (Lapp) mittens for Erika, don't think she was impressed though! Then I was asked to do some Vegimal Tupin (from the Octonauts) things for hair elastics for her. Really fiddly. One advantage was that in looking for the crochet cotton, found some snowflakes, so one less job for the Advent calendar. Really disappointed that the Knitting History Forum as been put back by a week, it clashes with some many other things now. First time I will have missed it.
