And I have a best seller!

Firstly, I have to say that the ball last night was absolutely brilliant.  In aid of the RSLB, the aim was to raise money to expand the nursery services that they offer to blind and visually impaired children, from just being based near Sevenoaks, Kent, to more of the south east and London.  The work they've done with our friends kids is so fantastic, giving so much hope to kids who would otherwise be left behind by most of society.  Slightly gutted that hubby's attempt to secure us a two night stay in a 5* hotel in London was out-bid in the silent auction, but hope that the very large sum of money we spent last night will help towards the overall goal.

The second thing, is that I sold two of the baby hats as well - the pink, and the large fluffy one.  Very exciting!

Thirdly, I was approached by one of the mums at school who feels that my scarves are not really her style, but would be perfect for her sister-in-law, if I could come up with something in orange.  Handily, I happened to have a ball of yarn in the very autumnal colours of rust red, orange and browns.  I also managed to find the time, amongst all my other tasks, to knit the thing last week, and showed it to her on Friday night.  She loves it, and is happy to buy it!  But she did agree to me taking it home and getting some pictures of it, so that I could add it to the FB page, and the website, (which is still very much a work in progress - will post a link in the hopefully near future!).

Yesterday, I duly took some pictures of the scarf, and finally uploaded them this morning (when the after-effects of last night had dimmed somewhat!).  Through that picture, I have now taken two more orders!!!  Slightly annoying in that I don't have any of that yarn at the moment, but a quick order and they might be in and knitted by Wednesday if I'm lucky, but definitely by the end of the week.  Have also found some more colours that might become popular too.

So, here, I present my new bestseller:
