We had a really fantastic September and met so many people, in fact we've had a great year getting around to all the different fairs and festivals. I'm still astounded by the number of people who turn up at all these events - it really puts paid to the myth that this is a "dying art"! When we are sitting knitting outside in the sunshine during our workshops at St Abbs, when folk say this to me, I just have to let them know about the thousands of folk who turn up to Woolfest and Yarndale and they are quite impressed! Anyway, the travelling season is drawing to a close, but we still have a few things to do before we can put our feet up. I'm going to be revamping the website over winter and changing it around a bit, so please keep coming back to see what's new. I'll also be putting up news about some woolly workshops and other things too...
Next up - the St. Abbs Wool Festival poster is now available to download and put up everywhere (yaaay!)
Diary dates for October
As usual, for more information about any of these events, just click on the coloured text to link through to websites.
We've already been to Duns on the 1st October, then had a workshop at St Abbs today (the 2nd) then tomorrow the 3rd October it's the regular St Abbs Friday Market at the Ebba Centre.
Saturday 5th we are at Berwick Buttermarket - underneath the Town Hall between 9am and 4pm.
Thursday is the weekly Woolscape Project workshop in the St Abbs Visitor Centre where we will once more be creating something wonderful in wool. If you want to come along, just get in touch with the Visitor Centre and leave your name and a contact number.
Then next week we are off to the Kendal Wool Gathering for the whole weekend. It promises to be even bigger and better than last year's event so do come and see what's happening.
When we get back, it's straight down the road for a pop up market at Wooler in the Cheviot Centre on Tuesday 14th October, with the St Abbs market crew between 10am and 3pm.
Thursday 15th is the last workshop before the Wool festival, so it's your last chance to join in the creativity!
Friday 16th and 24th are the Friday markets at the Ebba Centre in St Abbs between 10am and 4pm.
Saturday 25th is the St Abbs Wool Festival in St Abbs where we have so many stall holders we have taken over both the Ebba Centre and the Visitor Centre and crammed them full of woolly loveliness for you all to enjoy. Please download the poster at the top of this page, print it out and put it up for everyone to see - even if it's only on your fridge - but then think of somewhere that would look so much better with a beautiful poster!
A quick note about November as we are having a Sheep Tales event at the Hindmarsh Hall in Alnmouth on the 1st November between 10am and 4pm and I won't get the chance to put it on the listing for next month.
