September 2014 - mostly out!

1/9/2014

 
Above is a taster of my recent spinning activity!  I've been a little crazy spinning over the last month or so, but no matter how fast I spin, I can't ever seem to build up any stock - not that I'm complaining - on the contrary I love to spin and so am very happy that my customers like to buy my yarns!
I started spinning like mad again today in time to restock before my big tour in September... 

Diary dates

So here's the schedule for September - lots of woolly gatherings this month  - it's time to swell those stashes before autumn sets in - think of those long evenings at home creating lovely luxuriously warm woollies for you and yours....

Starting with Thursday 4th (and each Thursday in September), between 10am and 1pm, we have the Woolscape Project workshop in the Visitor Centre at St Abbs where we are creating knit and crochet beasties, birds and plant life for our display at the St Abbs Wool Festival on the 25th October.  Workshops cost £5 per person and all equipment and materials are provided - as are tea, coffee and cake....  
The workshops will continue into October too, for the first three weeks, so come and join us if you can!

Next up is our regular market at St Abbs Ebba Centre in St Abbs on Friday  5th between 10am and 4pm.

Saturday the 6th sees us back at the Buttermarket in Berwick upon Tweed - that's underneath the Town Hall for those of you who haven't found us yet!  We are there from 9am to 4pm.  The weather forecast isn't bad, so come and see what Berwick has to offer - there are some great cafes and a lovely brisk walk around the town walls will work up an appetite.

Tuesday 9th between 10am and 3pm the St Abbs market are popping up in Wooler at the Cheviot Centre.

Thursday 11th back to the Visitor Centre at St Abbs for our Woolscape workshop.

Friday 12th again at St Abbs for our market in the Ebba Centre.

Sunday 14th sees us travelling west to the Rheged Centre near Penrith for the Knit and Stitch Show, between 10am and 4pm.

Thursday 18th & Friday 19th we are once more at St Abbs for the Woolscape Project workshop on the 18th and the St Abbs market on the 19th.

Saturday 20th we are hopefully turning up again at Berwick upon Tweed Buttermarket.

Thursday 25th is the last Woolscape Project workshop for September at the Visitor Centre in St Abbs.

On Friday 26th we are setting of for Yorkshire for the second Yarndale event at the Auction Mart in Skipton which takes place on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th September.  Over 6000 of you turned out for it last year and this time the organisers have developed the event to include many more stall holders, workshops, cafes and other attractions, so come along and join in a great big wool gathering!

    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.
