Handknitted Irish Aran Knitwear


Aran Handknitting
With this really cold weather now upon us, it's time to consider getting yourself a wonderful handknitted aran sweater. These aran sweaters are lovingly hand knitted by Irish ladies in their own homes.


Normally they take about six weeks to complete but today I've just had the good news that one of my customers will be getting theirs much earlier than expected.

They haven't selected the usual natural colour but instead a grey one. I personally love the natural arans but most of all I love the arans which are knitted with such pride and care in Ireland.

I've had some other aran sweaters knitted outside Ireland and there is no comparison in the quality of the finished garment.

Why don't you think about getting one for yourself. They're so warm and they'll last for years - in fact they're the sort of garment which can be handed down in the family - what a lovely thought! Your own heirloom.

Irish Interest Rates - Will They Increase Again?


Fear of an interest rate rise has meant that many people have gone without their normal holiday this summer.

The Irish Central Bank is also concerned about the possibility of higher debt costs and the potential collapse of the building construction industry, should an interest rates increase be imminent. The rate has already been increased four times since December 2005 by a total of 1 percent.

Ireland's property boom has enabled 77% of Irish homes to be owner-occupied. However, the Irish Central Bank has discussed the prospect of house prices falling due to the acceleration in price inflation which may have had the effect of an over valuation in house prices.

Ireland has generous tax incentives for property owners, as Britain did before the 1989 changes which lead to the worst recession for many years. In Ireland, a purchaser is allocated a deduction in their taxes for the mortgage interest they pay. Also they don't pay property or capital gains tax on the sale of their homes, provided they are owner occupied.

However mortgage debt has soared in Ireland. It is now estimated to be approximately110 percent of disposable income which is a rise of over 50% since the 46 percent in 1998.

The thought of the stress of dealing with negative equity and repossessions has led to the following eBook being produced by Aine Callan, who has first hand experience of living through the effects of the 1989 property downfall in the UK.
