Catch Up on Comments and Stuff

Firstly, I would just like to say a big thank you! to people who have made donations to the MS Trust. I really really appreciate it.

Secondly - if you have commented and asked for a chart, and you haven't received it yet, there are probably one of two reasons for this:
1. the email has been eaten by your spam filter - drop me a line at nicDOTwrayATgmailDOTcom and I will send you out the chart again.
2. you didn't leave an email address, and your Blogger profile is not publicly accessible. Please, please, please leave an email address if you would like a chart!

Thirdly - hello and welcome to all the new readers of my blog - there's been a bit of a spike since I posted my finishes on a couple of other blogs - hope you stick around, I've got lots of ideas for more freebies, plus there's the Year of the UFO project going on, so hopefully, there will be plenty of finishes shared too!

Tine - thank you for the heads up about the Cortina sock yarn - I will be sure to be very careful with this!
Mairi - please leave me your address and I will send you a set of Thistle Stitching Accessories charts
Bronny - thanks for agreeing with me, you have impeccable taste! LOL

Comments replied to and questions answered

I'm not always sure that replying to comments in situ works, and if I can't email from a person's profile I'm kind of stuck unless I reply here ... so, here's a round up of recent comments and my replies! I value each and every one of my readers and commenters, do keep coming back and if you are nervous about leaving a comment, don't be, I don't bite! :o)

(please, if you ask a question or request a chart and would like a reply, leave an email address - I may have anumber of skills, but psychic powers are not among them! LOL)

Riona said "You and Stephanie [of the Yarn Harlot blog] are the reasons I have made learning to knit one of my stitching goals this year. "

Gosh. I don't know what to say. I mean, Yarn Harlot is a professional at this knitting and blogging (and writing books!) lark - I'm only an enthusiastic amateur. Go for it Riona, and I'd urge you to find a local stitch n bitch group, it's what really inspires me to pick up the needles. It's a real shame that there isn't a local needlecraft group for me, but the blogosphere is a superb substitute!

Katherine replied to my post on the Tardis washcloth saying how she missed Donna in Doctor Who - the good news is she appeared in the Christmas special (and Wilf too) - hope you get to view it soon!

Jillyjill32 picked up an error on my Knitted Cable Scarf pattern - this has now been corrected - thank you so much for pointing it out - and I've re-written the pattern to improve clarity. I'm always happy to get feedback on my patterns, so if you have a comment, please speak up :o)

Mindy - I knitted the Luna Moth shawl is Sirdar Blur - which is 30% kid mohair and 70% acrylic. It's also been discontinued :o(

Leta - thanks for the comments on my charts, but unfortunately, you did not leave an email address and your Blogger profile is not publicly visible. Please can you comment again, leaving your email address? (if you are worried that it may be picked up by spambots, leave spaces in it or add an extra word, telling me to leave out cat or hat or whatever you choose)

And don't forget my giveaway for my 500th post - leave a comment there and I'll enter you in the draw. Leave a link on your blog and you'll get more entries!
