I had such a great time at the show! I am exhausted and beaming, and happy and buzzy on it all. *grins*

It was wonderful to chat to so many lovely and interesting knitters. It was great to finally get my yarn out there and see what people thought of it. I just got to sit behind the stall all day and admire everyone in their knitted finery.

Oh it made me happy!

can you tell i was nervous?

(A blurry-coz-I’-nervous shot of the stall just before the doors opened, being presided over by the lovely Lazulus who was an absolute star.)

Today I have been getting the shop back up and full of goodies. The 4ply is in stock for the first time, along with new colours in DK, Sock, and Lace weight. Various colour sold out at the show, but I’ll dye more of them soon. :)

THE SHOP IS NOW OPEN (AGAIN)!

I’m planning to write a proper post about the show in the next few of days, with links to a load of wonderful people that you should go check out…

the wonderful hop scotch socks!

(THE SOCKS!)

…however, given the response to the raspberry socks we showed off, I wanted to direct you to their creator: Thomasina Knits.

More when I’m not falling asleep into my keyboard. :)

bits of a banner

The dyepot is finally out of the kitchen. Everything (pretty much) is labelled and ready to go. The banner is finished (though not photographed, hense another ‘in the process’ shot), the table layout is sorted, and I need to get up a 4.30am tomorrow morning.

I am as ready as I’ll ever be.

Please come say hi! I’ll show you the scarf I’m working on for my grandad. :) And the minimalist cardigan, which I’ll have with me. Oh and Oxford Kitchen Yarns yarn. Obivously. ;)

(Important note: All the stock has temporarily been removed from the webshop since it’s coming with me to the show. I’ll update it on monday.)
