Considering all the places they have been to its really quite fast. ods law that they will get held up in transit this side but lets hope not.
 
Will you be taking comissions for fleece combing?  ;D

If it's one of the friendly delivery drivers I'll get a piccy  ;D   Some are very grumpy though so I won't even ask !  I will show you when I open the box  ;D
 
 
Bionic - if you're prepared to wait until I've combed all my stash, then sure I'll take commissions......of course I've got so many fleeces to prep, combing them all will take longer than my lifetime even if I live to 120  :roflanim:  and that's not counting fleeces from the years to come  :spin: :knit:
 
I hope that after all this I actually like the things  :tired:

So what's happening with these combs? Are they in suspended animation somewhere or have they moved on? Now you have us interested, FW, you have to continue the saga.

Sorry - I've been in hospital :unwell:   but am back home now  :thumbsup:
 
 
Still no combs and not a squeak from the shippers.   OH looked up their website and the combs would appear to be waiting to go on from Customs.  I think they've already lurked in Britain for longer than it's taken them to get from Canada.
 
 
Don't worry - I'll keep you all up to date with the progress of the Saga  :roflanim:

Thank you  :wave:
 
I have a genetic heart condition and every now and then my heart flips into overdrive.  Sometimes I have to wait months to get it sorted, but this time they did it in A&E, so apart from being tired and a bit battered and bruised, I'm now back to my usual state of decrepitude, but content.
 
Now, if only those combs would arrive  :excited:
 
While I'm waiting I've decided to rip down two of my knitting projects and reknit them  :knit:
