Blocking and cookies

Today there was a little blocking with wires going on chez moi, I have introduced a couple of my aunts to the delight of shawl knitting and they have some finished lovelies to block.
Of course all of our work has to be inspected by Pete.

Woolfest and all things woolly

Saturday I spent the day at Woolfest, I have wanted to go to this for years and never been closeenough, I had a blast even although I was suffering from terrible sinusitis. I did however give up on the shopping too early and didn’t go back for at least 3 things I had planned to buy.
I did do a little shopping for yarn and needles for me and a couple of my aunts, pics to follow but the best part was catching up with lots of people. I will be going back its a fabulous event, though next year I will definitely need more time.

Woolfest yarn haul

Cafe news, opening hours on a Thursday will now be 12.30-3.30, I will be posting the times and dates of the first workshops for July the first which will be Sewing a skirt. I will have my spinning wheel with me, it is in need of a little tlc, so hopefully I can give a wee spinning demo when I am there if you want to come down and see, there will of course be cake too 🙂
