Summer loving...

This year has been good to us as far as the weather is concerned. Last weekend I went to Woolfest, and helped out on the PHop (http://p-hop.co.uk) stall. I met two lovely ladies who ran the stall, and have decided that this is such an important charity, that I'm making it Knatters Knits charity for 2014-2015.

Phop offers knitting and crochet patterns in return for donations and suggest that you donate pennies per hour of pleasure knitting or crocheting gave you. What I love about this, is the fact that the doctors who work for MSF (Medicins sans frontieres) do so for a non-political, non-religious organisation and make such a huge difference.

I have made contact with Ros Clarke, the designer of the cricket tea cosy which she donated to phop who has agreed I can make these to sell in aid of phop too.  So look out for these amazing tea cosies when I'm out and about this year....

I'm busy busy busy right now, with commissions, demonstrating spinning and knitting. This is so exciting. I'm off to Great Eccleston show in the next couple of weeks, and the Fylde Artisan event, and rounding off the season with Yarndale in Yorkshire!

Who said winter was knitting weather, eh? Just goes to prove that all year round is knitting and spinning time!
