Chat abound this week! Catching up is the order of the day. LJ\\ncompleted the marathon and her derriere is fine, thank you for\\nasking.

Yarn Shop Day is on Saturday and I am looking forward to diving\\nface first into The Countess\' Tunnock\'s. That\'s not a euphemism;\\nshe will have a tower of Tunnock\'s. If you can\'t come to\\nManchester, why not check out what\'s happening in your area? If\\nyou\'re abroad - stage your own Yarn Shop Day.

In Enablers\' Corner, I invite you to be enabled to the ME box.\\nIt\'s a monthly stationery subscription box. If you struggle to find\\nthe right sort of cards, this could be the answer to your\\nstationery woes. It\'s \\xa315 inclusive of postage and you can sign up\\nat martineellis.com between 1st and 7th of every month.

In Scottish yarn news, there\'s the Loch Ness Knit Fest, 29th Sep\\n- 2 Oct 2016. Also, get yourself to Pitlochry next weekend, 7th May\\nat the Atholl Palace Hotel. Dingwall Auction Mart hosts the\\nHighland Wool Fest on 21st May 2016.

I have some emails from lovely listeners. Props to Westy for\\nlooking after his fans and producing funny videos by taking the\\nmickey out of himself.

I take a look at The Knitting Goddess\' new yarn, Totally British\\n4ply. It\'s an 85% Wensleydale, 15% Shetland blend which is grown,\\nspun, processed and dyed in the UK. It\'s a great way to access\\nbreed yarns with the added benefit of lovely hand dyed shades too.\\nI rather like it. It comes in at 400m/100g and retails at \\xa318.50\\nper skein.

Finally I ask the question, "Is The It?" for the stash\\naccumulation.\\xa0
