a change for July and dates for August

20/7/2015

 
For information about all events listed, just click on the coloured text to go to external websites.

A change to our schedule for the Border Union Show this weekend (24th & 25th July).  We were supposed to be there Friday and Saturday in the wool tent, but after a little hiccup, he wool crafters will only be at the show on Saturday between around 9.30am until 4pm (ish).  We have been relocated to a marquee near the sheep pens, so you'll be able to see the sheep and then touch the wool in all its glory after crafty transformation.  More information about the show can be found by clicking this Border Union Show link. 

A reminder that we will be at the Strawberry Barn near Dunbar on Sunday 26th July for  the St Abbs pop-up market, with lots going on.
 
Friday 31st July sees us back at St Abbs between 10am and 4pm in the Ebba Centre for our regular Friday market.  Lots of lovely local produce, food, arts, crafts and gifts.

In August we are heading south to Yorkshire.  Friday 7th and Saturday 8th August we are the British Wool Show at the auction mart Murton, near York.  There will be lots of great wool crafters showing off their wares, plus sheep and all manner of things woolly to look at.  More information on the website here.

Friday 21st and 28th we are at St Abbs again, hopefully enjoying more sunny days by the sea - watching the wildlife go by...

And finally, a new venue for us this year, we are off to Floors Castle in Kelso for the Massed Pipe Bands Day on the 30th August between 11am and 4pm.  There will be a Scottish & local food producers Food Court and Crafters Fair, Pipe Bands from across the Scottish Borders, Highland Dancers, Ceilidh Band, Birds of Prey, Garden Tours, Dog Agility and more to do and see.

If you can't get to see us out and about, use the contact form to get in touch and see if we can't arrange to meet up anyway!

I thought I'd share the inspiration for another of my colour blends with you.  The first photo is a view in my garden, the second a close-up shot of my lovely Iris plant and the third my merino and silk blend spinning/felting fibres.  All colour blends are available to purchase - see them all on this page here.  If you want to buy any, please use the form here.

    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.
