Sadly there was very little yarn in the charity shops but I did find a great bit of stash storage at a boot fair a few weeks ago, a wicker stool with a lid, it will hold quite a lot of yarn so the national yarn collection can grow. I could knit a round cushion for the top? Short rowing perhaps?
I have knitted a collar as a neckwarmer when out walking. It took two 50grm balls of a wool/alpaca/acrylic mix. Knitted in garter stitch, I cast on 100 stitches to start, knitted the first ball on 4.5mm then joined the second ball, changed to 5.5mm and increased 10 stitches evenly across the row, knitted 1" increased again and then once more, cast off with double knit c/o (pick up the loop between each stitch and knit into it to cast off), it's very soft warm and cuddly and now DH and DD would like one.

Bummer about the spam. There's an option you can turn on so they have to type some random ;letters in to post. Anyway, reading this makes me really jealous - the freedom of a motorhome. Have honestly never thought bout it before and am in London so no need/space for any kind of car anyway but....to be able to just drive off into the countryside for an evening or a weekend. Hmmmm, sounds good to me.
