Helga & The Woolly Mammoth..
I've been busy. Really busy.

Some of you may recall that back in Autumn 2005 I started a little cottage industry, while trying to deal with the back ache from hell. To alleviate my boredom while stuck in bed for the best part of three weeks, I was knitting scarves. Knitting them as if my life depended on it. Well, it did, in a way. My sanity was hanging by a woolly thread, and the knitting stopped me from going clinically insane.

Anyway, there was I, knitting, when [blog TheQuietGuy2005] casually suggested I sell the scarves I was knitting. The rest, as they say, was history. The little light bulb in my head wouldn't stop flashing (or was that me, standing in front of the fridge?), and I decided "why the hell not!", and Helga Hansen Originals was born.

Soon I was roping in the help of another member, who was a printer by trade, and I even ventured into web page design, designing a web site to sell my wares. I'm awaiting a more professional web site, being designed by a lazy Hobbit from the Other Side Of The World. Seems said Hobbit is currently making goo-goo eyes at some [blog LilBlondeNZ] who has flown from the Big Apple to spend the rest of her days in Antipodean bliss.

Anyway... why have I been busy? A few weeks ago I was introduced to a brand new way of turning wool into fashionable items that ladies would wear (hey, I'm not being sexist here, but I don't think the fellas are going to want to wear these little bundles of fur, not unless they're desperate to get in touch with their feminine side!).

Since that rather interesting demonstration (TQG was there with me at the time, and I distinctly remember his eyes glazing over!!) , I've been toying with the idea, and this weekend I was able to bring my ideas to fruition. In two days I've created 5 new scarves, and at this rate, I'll have a whole warehouse before Winter 2006 hits us! I have had loads of fun experimenting, and I don't think I'm done yet.

And J... London Fashion Week still beckons!

Love, hugs and kisses from ♥♥HH♥♥

 Are you going to give us a hint at what they are????

Angel, "they" are scarves. It is hard to describe them, as they are not knitted, but they are still made from wool, and they are lovely to look at, but rather difficult to photograph!

I guess the best way to describe them is "woolly boas"...

 Are they scarves for the lower body part, as I presume TQG likes to glaze over that ?

Or are they some kind of tazzles which are wrapped around those curves ?
