June and the promise of summer

30/5/2018

 
Okay, so it's still May!   We had a great time at the Hippodrome in Eyemouth during the last few days and hope to do the same again later this year - but we will be giving you a little more notice next time.
And now, here are a few dates when we are out and about over the next month.
Thursday 31st May we are at
 The Crossman Hall on Holy Island.  The St Abbs Market team are popping up throughout June, depending on tide times, it is a very beautiful place to visit and there's so much to do when you get there.
Fridays 1st June & 15th June the regular  
St Abbs Market in the Ebba Centre, St Abbs between 10am and 4pm.  With a host of other crafters and food producers.  All the birds are now nesting on the cliffs around St Abbs Head, dolphins and whales are moving north and seen regularly from the village itself!  
Back to Holy Island for Sunday 3rd, Monday 4th & Tuesday 5th June, so plenty time to catch up with everyone.  We are dependent upon tide times for getting across the causeway so please do check the  tide times here for safe crossing times.  
Also on Holy Island the weekend of the 16th, 17th & 18th June.  Again our opening times depend on the tide, so check on the link above to make sure you don't get caught out.
My favourite jaunt of the year away from home is Woolfest, Cumbria on Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd June.  A cornucopia of wonderful  woolly stuff on show for two days at the Auction Mart in Cockermouth.  With music and cafes, workshops and demos included it is a feast for the eyes.  See you there?

Short notice I know, but Skybluepink Designs are attending this fab event, taking place over the bank holiday weekend in Eyemouth.  There are lots of other things happening too - a Mini rally at Gunsgreen House, a visit from a very beautiful cruise ship, the Silver Cloud, music and comedy at the Hippodrome too.  Then there's ice cream, coffee, a walk on the beach, around the harbour... see you there!

Ne'er cast a clout - even if the May is out!

I might have said in a previous post that we are taking it a little bit easier this year - we won't be going to all the big shows.  We are limiting ourselves to Woolfest in Cumbria (June), the St Abbs Wool Festivals in Eyemouth (November and April), the Alnmouth Wool Festival (September) and the Kendal Wool Gathering (October).  Other than that, we are sticking to local events and a bit more time in the garden.  
In view of this, we have launched a new "web shop" where you can buy fibres, yarns, super coils and all manner of other things.  Updates to stock will be happening over the next couple of weeks, then as and when I get round to more spinning etc.  Please take a look and see what you think.  Feedback welcome!  
We welcome visitors to come and see us at home, but please get in touch before setting off to make sure we will be here.  Please note, we are closed on Thursday and Sunday.
The Facebook page is a little slow, but I will get used to more regular posting.

Diary dates

Fridays 4th & 18th May 10am to 4pm the St Abbs Market in the Ebba Centre, St Abbs.  With a host of other crafters and food producers.  A great place to visit.  What more can I say?
Saturday 19th & Sunday 20th May we are at The Crossman Hall on Holy Island.  The St Abbs Market team are popping up throughout the year, depending on tide times, but the full list of dates is available here - I shall be at all of them.  A very beautiful place to visit and there's so much to do when you get there.
Monday 28th & Tuesday 29th May at the Hippodrome, Eyemouth for a pop-up event - more details to follow....

    I've been knitting and designing for a long time and don't think I'm going to stop anytime soon.  The inspiration just keeps coming, there is always a new technique to learn, a new yarn to try out and so many knitters out there in the world sharing their tips and secrets that it's sometimes hard to know what to do next.
