Did you cry when you found out you'd won, CSF?
(What are you suggesting of our Noble Leader, WW?) |

Perhaps she's suggesting that MrsL has been busy knitting beanies

Yay! Thankyou SO much Mrs L! The Monmouth hat is just brilliant!
And as the owner of the first one in Canada I feel very special. I shall wear it only on very special STATE occasions.
I wish you lived next door! I have a couple of hundred fleeces in the barn that I just know I am only going to get 20 cents a pound for. Plus I won't get paid until next year.  What would they be worth in Monmouth hats?! 
These are from sheep that have just lived happily through a minus 40 below winter as snug as bugs in rugs.
We kept out about 20 fleeces for sock production, I would rather GIVE socks to people than sell wool for no money to the Chinese sweatshops which is where I fear my last year's wool ended up. 
An interesting aside. In Canada, in 1918, a single fleece was worth the equivalent in todays money of $75. For one fleece.
This was before man-made fibres...
Thanks again. You are a Star! |

I'm so slow!! Sorry for the lack of responce. I only thought to even look this up because I saw it on thread about our meet-up, which I only checked to see what Dave had written. I hang my head in shame.
But at least I'm now not on here often because I'm currently away from home only online when I can borrow my friend's computer. |
