The recent acquisition:
Ordered from Elann the beginning of the month - Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora in 'Toasted Oats' and, of course, the pattern book. I'll be adding Mary to the knit-list:
And, imagine my surprise when I saw Katy and thought, hey I have some LB Cotton Ease in Strawberry Cream and Ice Blue that just might be perfect for that....
Yet another one to add to the knit-list for after the first of the year!
Phildar, Phildar, Phildar....
I love their patterns! Gotta hand it to French designers, if Andy likes a knit sweater from one of their pattern books, they have to know what they are doing!
So, the Phildar yarn and books purchased from the last post were purchased from Phildar Wervik. The online ordering and shipping systems were different that what I have normally experienced. The items that I ordered had to be shipped in three different packages on different days - I am under the assumption that this is due to Belgium shipping and export regulations. Anyway, I received the first two packages in about a week because they were shipped priority. The third package was shipped non-priority, so I am still waiting for that one to show up... I am anticipating that it will take a total of four weeks. Anyway, Nicole is just great - she kept me up-to-date on the order status and when the packages were shipped. I would definitely recommend this retailer for Phildar orders... and I will keep you posted on the arrival of the third package!
