New Books and Yarns

Yes it is that time of year again...... We all get so excited for the Autumn/Winter Launches of yarn and patterns. I have got typers cramp. I have been a busy bee adding the New Louisa Harding, Rowan and Debbie Bliss books to the website http://www.knitsinthecity.co.uk/

So far it is only the book title page and the contents. As soon as the books arrive here I will add the yarn requirements. Lots of lovely pics to oohhh and aahhh over though.


Rowan 48 has the yarn requirements added.


Have had a busy week and have decided to take a stand at the Tatton Hall Christmas Fete - 1st - 5th December 2010 at Tatton Hall. Will post more details nearer the time.


I am going to be selling finished goods - hats, scarves, gloves, bags, Stirling silver shawl pins etc. This is the first time I am going to attempt a fete so keep your fingers crossed for me and if you want a pretty pair of gloves to keep said fingers warm drop in and buy some.


I am going down now to do some more designing. I am going to use my own designs for all of the items on sale. Before I go I have just waisted 5 minutes watching a "Fat Pidg" - A very fat pigeon who likes to sit on the Virgin Mary on the church next to my house to wind Tallulah (my Jack Russel) up. Anyway Fat Pidg was trying to work out the best way to keep dry. It is pouring with rain. He stuck his bum up to the sky, fluffed up his wings - all to no avail. Then - the crafty little bird pushed one of the slates on the church roof which was a bit loose along to the edge of the gutter then placed himself under it thus blocking the guttering. He must have decided that wet feet and shelter was better than nothing. Quite ingenious Fat Pidg!!
