Spinning art yarns

Saturday 20th October

We had a wonderful day with Janet Phillips, learning to spin art yarns. We spun thick and thin, we rolled fluff to create yet another effect, and spun buttons into yarns.

Llandovery Sheep Festival 2012


Now, now ladies. Just ask yourselves, do you need even more fluff??
Seriously, this festival is wonderful - took the poxy pixies last year and they had the most fantastic time.

Thank you Del for the photo

You can see the wheels turning in the brain cells - "now what can I make with this?"

Wonderwool

Have we got shopping trolleys, rucksacks etc ready for the trip to Wonderwool??

Just a little word of warning though. If buying your tickets on line, they are now using paypal. This takes forever to clear so don't be buying tickets now for next weekend - you will NOT get them on time

Anne Holvey

Designing for knitting
We had a wonderful workshop yesterday with Anne Holvey, taking us through the mathematics of design. I think it is safe to say that most of us are now watching our weight....




Anne will be coming back at some time later in the year to talk to us about lace knitting.
