INTRODUCTION
You can find me on Instagram and Ravelry. We also have a Ravelry group where the Episode 66 Chatter Thread is live! And don't forget the Show Us Your Socks thread!
Today’s tea is hot Ribena as I'm trying to fend off a possible cold. Feeling a tad under the weather so doing what I can to perk myself up.
The mug is a new one, a gift from a friend, from Flying Tiger. Annoyingly, I can't find it on the website!
Don't forget, we have a tea recommendation thread on the Ravelry group, if you're looking for something new to try.

I'm getting there with the magic ball that Katie of Inside Number 23 sent me, so I might be able to finish it before advent!
Inspired by Amy Florence of Stranded, I tidied up my stash! I reorganised it - grouping skeins into sealable bags by weight, brand and colour. While I was at it, I updated my Ravelry stash.
I don't fill in everything as I don't need all the info - and if I filled in everything, it's unlikely I'd get it all done!
When updating my Ravelry stash I always:

When updating my Ravelry stash I always:
- Include a photo - I'm not fussed about lighting/layout, it just needs to be representative enough to jog my memory
- Include weight and yardage - for reference when I'm away from my stash and quick searching when I'm looking for something for a specific pattern
- Link any patterns I have in mind for it
- Include tags like 'socks', 'hat' or 'prize' for easy searching later!
That's it for this week - bit of a short one as it's been very busy over here! I'll be back when I can for another cup of tea!
