It's the Game of Wool final this evening. Which of the three talented contestants will take home the golden knitting needles?
Are you backing Ailsa, Holger or Lydia?
We think they are all fabulous so it's hard to choose.

Today's window is from The Welsh Wool Shop in Newcastle Emlyn - it's making us think of Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

This pompom angel bauble is so clever. The display at The Wee Crafty Owl in Grenock has us thinking of rushing out for some yarn and creating our own pompom characters for the tree.

We haven't blogged about Game of Wool this week because we can't really recommend patterns or yarn for repurposing items. So instead we'd love to see your yarnie reycled and upcycled projects.
Post a pic below and tell us all about it.
