The house is now warm which means that the radiators are strewn with yarn and knitting, the heating works a little differently to before so it will take a while to find the proper temperature setting for us.
I have managed to give the mittens a soak and they are nearly dry (having radiators that now work really helps)
.My destash continues, this time I've donated several books on quilting and bag making to a close spinning buddy and in return I received two packages of fleece. The first ( we think ) is black welsh mountain and looks lovely. I do like spinning this breed so I will probably wash in small amounts and get to grips with it over the next few weeks.
The other is a faun/cream brown Shetland, looks quite fine, very crimpy
The fair isle hat is finished and washed. I'm thinking about getting a mannequin head to both block and photo my hats.
The plain hat is also finished and washed.
Texel and Jacob skeins are also washed and ready to be measured and weighed, Jacob x Dorset now on the wheel.
The house is still a tip as we can't put anything back in place until we are sure that the boiler is working properly as the installer had a lot of problem adding it to out existing heating system.
I'm now off to town to post out the mitts and a birthday card, may even grab a coffee as well.
Speak soon xx

Radiators are so nice to have. We have a heat pump that pushes out cold air all winter and it is miserable. I have some electric oil radiators that I drag from room to room when it gets really cold but nothing beats the hot water ones.
