Comments on: Back from the London Stitch n Bitch, and the Shop is back open! http://www.oxfordkitchenyarns.com/blog/2007/11/11/back-from-the-london-stitch-n-bitch-and-the-shop-is-back-open/ Oxford Kitchen Yarns is a small natural dyeing business.

I had a massive chat with M about the whole UK Stitch'n'Bitch thing and I think after witnessing the whole event and meeting everyone, he really now *gets* the knitting thing. He was genuinely 100% impressed with your whole gig; he said it was amazingly clear what you're doing and he really loved the colours. Now he is a non-knitter, but is great at picking up on general business type things (being a management consultant and all...) and he was full of praise for the clarity, certainty and competence of Oxford Kitchen Yarns. We were celebrating you enthusiastically with beers for some hours after the show! For myself, as a knitter I am loving the rich shades you have achieved with natural materials and the quality of your yarn product and personal service. I also love what the semi-solid nature of the dyeing does for my stitching and it makes me want to knit more complex patterns that will show off technique and skills. I loved the whole way you had made the stall; the simplicity and consistency of your design echoed through all the elements of your stall from the banner to the well-placed mailing list, to the hand-stamped receipt and the elegant yarn itself. There were a lot of other stalls selling variegated yarns, but I think in solids you had the best stuff to see... just beautiful, natural colours laid out neatly in beautiful skeins of joy. It was so great to see the shop alive in 3-D reality and I hope you get to do loads more fairs! xxx It was so amazing to see your stall all up and running.
