Woolfest swag
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”
From the Edge of the World: Foula Wool
As a local and a knitter I felt I should have kicked myself for not knowing about Foula Wool – Seven lovely natural Shetland sheepy shades, springy, soft and flecked with the natural variations in colour.
Magnus and Justyna from Foula Wool kindly agreed to an interview to tell us more….
Knitting on the Threshold
This has been an exciting time for new knitting patterns from some of my favourite designers […] Since Karie Westermann began pre-sales of her first collection I had been drumming my fingers excitedly. On Monday it dropped into my Ravelry library.
Woolfest Bound!
Within mere moments of finding out I had already begun to formulate a wishlist, but more than the love of wool (if there could there *be* more!) I am really looking forward to meeting and putting real faces to the Twitter profile pictures!
Knitting symmetries
I had never attempted a triangular shawl before and it was also only my second attempt at top-down shawl construction.
I can understand why 12269 people on Ravelry have knit Ishbel – it’s a simple garment, yet totally elegant.
Tin Can Knitting
This is Lush, by Emily Wessel of Tin Can Knits and it is an early pattern release from her upcoming book Handmade in the UK
I knew as soon as I saw it that I wanted one for myself, but how nice to knit a mini version as a practice?!
Halo Cushion
I finished 3 WIPs this weekend. Three! *does dance*
Two of these are for the imminent arrival of a friend’s baby and this one was in real danger of becoming an UFO.
