    One of the most regular questions I get asked is 'How many balls of Cool Wool do I need for a scarf'? Cool Wool is a chunky 100% Peruvian wool we have just started stocking. It comes in a wild range of fun colours and it is the perfect beginners yarn. Being chunky it knits on 10-12mm needles, which makes...

    I swear I didn't plan for everything culminating at once, but now that most of the planning and organising is in place, and we're moving onto executing I have to admit I am ridiculously excited ... and just a tad nervous ... about both the Iknit7 Holiday Extravaganza AND our book launch coinciding on the very same day!
