I can't really knit at all (I randomly decided to make some Clangers a few years ago and I think my mum spent more time undoing all of my mistakes than I did actually knitting them), but I did make a few Rico scarves a few months ago after seeing them at Hobby Craft. I got the yarn from Black Sheep http://www.blacksheepwools.com/ and didn't have any problems with them, the yarn arrived really quickly, and I don't remember having to pay very much for postage.

Oh i see, i thought you wanted the items rather than the materials! My mum gets most of her stuff from John Lewis. All of the wool shops in our area have closed down over the years.

I knitted a tiny square once...god that was hard enough!

yes I love knitting just having problems finding reliable shops for yarn and patterns - ordered yarn and patterns last friday so I had something to keep me occupied over Christmas - first time I have ordered on line they took the payment and accepted the order and now have an email telling me wont have yarn in stock till feb - pretty peed off with them
