Just A Word

Last Christmas, we were given a calendar of pointless words.  It’s called Forgotten English and on the whole it’s pretty obvious why.  Today’s word, however, is a good one.  “Snocksnarls – all of a heap; generally used of entangled thread”.  Here’s an example in mohair:

And life is all a bit snocksnarls too.  What with Woolfest stall applications, blankets for Pakistan and various other stuff, emails are scrolling off the bottom of the page even as I read them and the phone doesn’t stop for long.  So I must apologise to anyone who’s sent me a chatty email or Ravelry message recently which I haven’t yet replied to.  I will try & get to them soon…

    Hi Cecilia I did not realise that this blog was you! Doh! Sometimes I am a bit obtuse. Nice to see you popping into my blog and also I loved your word, very descriptive and the state all my yarns are in. Good luck with the Woolfest applications bw Helen
