Two Angels - angels & petals AND crafty angel

I had a lovely time on Sunday showing people how to crochet and knit (with extra help from some very special people - thank you). It is always a joy to watch people master something they never thought they could do. Special congratulations to Jodie, who took to knitting like a duck to water, and Katie who is already well into her first crochet blanket.
Our next session for beginners, or improvers if you've already grasped the basics, will be Sunday 26th August at 10am. Hope to see you there.

Time for a new hobby?

Next Sunday 29th July, we are running beginners crochet classes 10 -12 noon and beginners knitting 2- 4pm. Cost is £6 per session and includes your hook or needles to keep. If you'd like to learn, or refresh your memory why not sign up? Call into the shop to book.

Extreme again

I can't believe it's been so long since I blogged. Where do the weeks go too??

Anyway, we took knitting to the limits again this weekend and dusted off our 20mm needles, gathered together a heap of lovely yarn and away we went.

We find feeding the strands from a basket up through a mushroom box, helps to prevent too much tangling.

Learning to manage those big needles can be quite an undertaking. Non knitters find it much easier!

Up and running now. It gets easier the more rows one does, and grows super quickly.

And before you know it, you'll have a great chunky throw, or bag or cushion or whatever takes your fancy.
