Hellooooooo Mags.  I thought you would like to see Fair Isle Finn in the flesh, so to speak.  I loved him so much I moved one of my Klimt plates so he would be on my side of the fireplace.

Hie is gorgeous, I love him.  What in God's name size needles did you use for that?  The lowest I've ever knitted with is 3mm

Clever lady, thank you.

oh he's cute isn't he?

I can just about knit squares, and I haven't done that for ages.

[bitsnknots]

Love the makes.  I haven't knit anything since I knit a cardi for Grace for Easter.

I don't do knitting. Admire those who do though.

Carol I'm so pleased you like him.

He was made on 1.5 and 2mm double pointed needles.

Love his name!

Love fair Isle flyn. So cute.

I have been knitting since I was a child and did not even know you could get needles that small!  He really is gorgeous and everyone has commented on him.  Thanks Mags.

....bounces in ......

hello peeps, can't believe it's been this long since there's been a posting on here....so I have....so there.

I could post pics of my snowmen on here but it's a new little lappy and there isn't a way to transfer pics unless you use a usb, which I shall do shortly.

Here's the new kick in the teeth;

Low Cost Items offer 2021 Final Value Fee of 15% + 5p until 31st December 2021!!!  No more 30p fee!

https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Business-SellerNews-February/Low-Cost-Items-offer-2021-Final-Value-F...

But don't bother, this was sent out by email only.  And only to those who didn't have the filter on.  Filter?  Oh didn't you know, your email filter has a tick box set to exclude you from offers unless you know about it, know where it is, and then go in and set it!

So, the big change in fees reducing the 30p to 5p that had been mentioned before has happened.  But it was swept under the carpet with no announcement and introduced as a voluntary opt in.

Oh and the registration deadline was the 21st Feb and it runs to the 31st Dec 2021 so we are all out for the rest of the year.

What nasty devious people who introduced such a significant fee change but in a way the overwhelming majority would never know and not have the opportunity to switch to.  Small value sellers have been trashed by the 30p fee and then the Royal Mail increases.

Spread this around the boards so everybody gets to hear about it.  Maye the stink it creates will force a change.  This is the lowest form of deceit I think I have ever seen form these people.  An absolute disgrace.
