Issue 4 of New Stitches arrived home safely, Mabel. Glad it was of use to you. (Those early editions were bi-monthly, btw, in case you are ever asked in the next Stash & Grab pub quiz.)

A HAED chart - Blizzard Buddies (Dona Gelsinger)
Image

I'm really suprised that I actually got this - I had had it on my wishlist for a long time and it was retired by HAED mid August last year so I quickly searched around to find somewhere that still sold it. Placed an order with a few other threads etc. Well I got the other stuff but the chart was placed on back order. Well the credit card that I'd used expired in September and since I hadn't heard anything more about the chart I figured that I would never get it. Well a couple of weeks ago I got an email saying that the chart had finally come in! :shock: So I sent them new credit card details and yesterday I finally got the chart I ordered in AUGUST!
