Firstly, some news. I'm going to be at
Woolfest in Cumbria on June 22nd and 23rd, a festival celebrating all things wool-related - featuring spinning, dyeing, knitting - and sheep! I've never been before and am intrigued - apparently people come from abroad to this show. Partly, I'm sure, because it is in such a beautiful part of the country.
I'm going to be on the
Tall Yarns stand - I used their Baby Alpaca Cashmere 4ply sock yarn for the Lace Shrug in my book - and am designing a new pattern for a cardigan in their Soliloquy 3 ply sock lace to go with the Lace-edged Camisole.
I will be selling copies of A Handknit Romance and will have some of the garments from the book with me. So if you are at Woolfest, come along and see me!

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to be invited to the
Royal College of Art Graduate Fashion Show. This is because for the last few years I have taught a one day workshop on hand-knitting to the first year fashion knitwear and textiles students as part of a project for Rowan Yarns. The two students featured here were both in the class last year and I was delighted to see how fantastic their final collections were. They both happened to be delightful too! I love Lucy's use of colour and the felt hats shaped like 1920s flapper bobbed hairstyles. I'm sure they're both destined for great things - and I wish them well.
