When knitting for friends and loved ones it is often difficult to please all the people all of the time. The one thing I get asked for when knitting for others, particularly for kids, is, “can you make it in something I can put in the washing machine?”
Last week I had a really enjoyable couple of days at the In the Loop 3.5 Conference here in Shetland. I didn’t manage the whole thing, and I am not going to abstract the whole thing (I believe there will be a special edition on Textiles next year, which will do that for you), but I really wanted to share with you one or two of the stand out speakers.
Before showing you my newest favourite knitted garment, I know you are dying to know who won the contest for the Tin Can Knits ebook.
We draw winners old school at Casa KnitBritish!
When I received my first delivery from Foula Wool – neat little, springy, soft 25g cakes – they were just begging to be played with in a fun way
If it’s Tin Can Knits you know it’s going to be beautiful, stylish patterns, designed with a finger on the pulse of what knitters want to make AND wear! Add to that a collection designed entirely in British wool or by UK dyers and I feel like throwing a parade!
(and one lucky reader can win a copy!)
I think this event must hit all bases, whistles and bells for wool lovers and for me British wool was abundant.
I made my first purchase within ten minutes!
a quick peep at Woolfest, blogging “on the road”
Although l lived in Edinburgh & the surrounding areas for years I still love to explore it.
