Yes - where did March go🙀 Thankyou for checking in and letting us know that things are bearable. Spring equinox makes my days a bit more pleasant, since summer is not so far away. Take care 🌷🧶🍃

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Carole - there is something very positive about the season turning, isn't there? Thanks and take care xx

[@EPMunzert]

Not quite enough time to knit all the lovely yarn is what sprang to mind. Take care and blessings!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Very true! Thanks and all the best xx

[@heathertucker7056]

Yes Lesley! Where did March go? It’s always such a busy time sorting out stuff when a loved one passes away. All your new yarn acquisitions will keep you busy when you get those hats on the go! Enjoy time with your friends and take care until next time x hugs to Heidi x

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Heather - time is flying - does that mean we're having fun? Hope so. Thanks so much and take good care xx

[@NadineTouzet]

Hi Lesley, never say you have enough yarn! 🤦🏻‍♀️😱 More gorgeous colourways need to appear in your life 😊. Have a good peaceful weekend, take care xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Nadine - you're right - there is always something new to pique our interest! Hope all is good with you xx

[@joelwilliams5634]

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

[@sharonparmelee9633]

Hi Les, Been MIA lately.....Never miss your wonderfulness!! I'm sorry for your loss. I hope all you girls are doing ok. Seeing Heidi always makes me smile!! Thank you for always sharing her adorable self!! Himself has good taste in yarn....I know you will make something gorgeous! Take good care, sweet lady!!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hiya. I had missed you and was going to email, but didn't want to be too pushy! Hope you are okay. Thanks so much - big hugs from me and cuddles from Miss H xx

[@sharonparmelee9633]

Push away, dear friend! This time of year is difficult for me, and I tend to isolate, which for someone who worked in the mental health field, I know is not the best course of action! 🥴 You are the best medicine for this old gal and thank you for always putting a smile on my face and sharing a bit of yourself!! Sending warm hugs and much love from me and mine to you and yours!! See you Friday!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@susanmarshall3709]

Oh My! That yarn is shinning and begging to be noticed, no Shhh-ing that yarn!!! Hope you make a wonderful make with it. Hope to make it Saturday but got family things in the morning .

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Susan - look forward to seeing you. Thanks and take good care xx

[@spaknits]

Hi Lesley, your Not Quite Enough space, time etc is my inner monologue right now. I'm also surrounded by bags that multiple like tribbles. And yet what fun we have xxx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Anne. Yes, it's certainly fun - and you have a Tom and a loft to help accommodate all you have! Enjoy xx

[@angelaholcroft4515]

Hi Lesley. Lots of woolly goodness. Know how you feel with all the sorting and stuff. Andy's dad didn't throw anything away. Have a lovely weekend. X

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Angela - we always thought Dad was tidy and organised - probably because he didn't' have piles of stuff all over - but his cupboards are very full! Take care and have a good one! xx

[@flameandfiberpodcast3162]

Beautiful yarns! Himself comes through!!❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Yes - I will let him stay xx

[@lindanagle5081]

Hi Lesley,your hubby has good taste in yarn. That Shhhhh yarn is lovely and great to knit with. I just finished a Tolsta tee by Crea Bea in it.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Linda - that's good to know - many thanks - I love the colourways too. Hope all is well xx

[@marywanamaker2700]

Enjoy your weekend!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Mary - you too xx

[@ArcticCraftsbyBente]

Good to see you! I must say: My heart skipped a beat when you told me the answer is 42. I've read that book a million times. xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

I loved Douglas Adams - recently read no 6 of the trilogy(!) written by Eoin Colfer - a fitting tribute to the originals. xx

[@ArcticCraftsbyBente]

@@NotQuiteEnoughYarn Something for me to look up then! Thank you for the tip,

[@wildcottageknitting]

Yay for a sweaters quantity of Shhhh! It’s a yarn I hope to try at some point, although now that have brought yarn home to Ireland that I had as a stash in the US, there is really no space for more in the cottage! Rug, throw, and shawl crocheting has started with a vengeance 😂 and hopefully by Autumn more yarn space will be made- cuz I’ve still a bit more yarn there at my Dad’s that should probably come home… so like you I’m currently unable to say “not quite enough yarn!” Just Not Quite Enough Space 🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Susan. Glad you are home safely - bringing home yarn stashed elsewhere - is that like discovering it again? Looking forward to seeing your makes xx

[@LindaNixon-ws4ge]

Love your cardigan

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Linda - much appreciated. Take care xx

[@angrypanda5042]

Hello my dear Lesley. Thanks for the visit. Himself picked some beautiful yarn. Enjoy your time with your friends. Take very good care. See you next time.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much - he does choose well (lots of training has paid off!). Thanks and take care xx

[@FirnMamaMakes]

💛💛💛

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thank you xx

[@lindas.patton7552]

See you tomorrow.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Linda. Looking forward to it xx

[@zabaglione]

I saw the Shhhh yarn in Black Sheep Wools on Monday and it's gorgeous! I got given some gorgeous cotton yarn with small schlubs in it and some mohair mix - a fluffy red with a gold thread running through it and I have no idea what kind of things I can crochet with it. Any suggestions would be very helpful! My friend wants a top of some kind with the mohair.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Ian - those yarns sound fab! Obviously, it depends on the weight - but with the mohair it sounds as though you want the yarn to shine, so something simple like the comfort tee might be a good idea (never made it, but it looks good): www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/comfort-tee The Roxy Poncho www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-roxy-poncho-sweater is also good and very adaptable. - I added sleeves to mine and made the neckline a little smaller so it stayed on better. Enjoy your new yarns and thanks, as always xx

[@zabaglione]

@@NotQuiteEnoughYarn Thanks so much Lesley! Both are quite thin but still a DK. The comfort tee is perfect and exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of for the cotton. Hope you're doing well and looking after yourself x

[@carolroy5435]

Not quite enough......space?! lol Just don't go to the pharmacy. SO, your husband is buying you yarn called Shhhhhh. Could there be a hidden message in there somewhere?! 🤔🤣

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Carol. My piano teacher once bought me a peace lily.... Himself can barely hear me - he's not here enough! Hope all is well xx
