Knitting Weather

It’s pretty brrrrrr cold here in the valley and up higher in the mountains in the Yarra Valley! You know what that means: Spinning and knitting and crochet weather to get more fluffy warm creative fluffies off the needles and wearing them AND get more knitting done 😊 

Lucky for you: I have a great selection of two fabulous yarn bases ready for you for tonight’s blog ready for you ! 

 One is a new base of super amazing Cashmere Merino and Silk. I am so super excited about this yarn: it is sumptuous, super soft, extremely silky and amazing to knit with or weave with. 

 Then there is my blue faced Leicester handspun 4ply yarn: soft and lustrous and one of a kind. Photos are coming after a bit. 

A week has gone by since we loaded the van and went to the handknitters crochet guild Show at the Coburg town hall. What a weekend of absolutely amazing support and creativity it was. It was fabulous to see so many familiar faces and new faces ! The event was super well organized as always and Susan McDougall is an absolute super star getting everything happening on the weekend and what an effort that was !

It took Paul and myself about 3 and a bit hours to set up the stall and we were just about ready when the customers started to flow through the door. This time I remembered to whip my phone out and take a short video to publish so all the people who could not make it , would be able to see what was happening. Here it is:

 And some photos

 

 

 

You will be happy to hear I did not totally sell out. Although, saying that I did sell out of ALL the black bunny and Galaxy Bunny tops and the Outlander tops too, as well as wallabunny yarn and some handspun as well. In the next couple of weeks I will offer you lots more handspun and super special yarns like guanaco and vampire deer which I had ALMOST finished for the show but not quite…lol The clubs are being prepped as I type this, new blends are programmed: it is all happening !

I had my first medical , let’s call it “intervention” …lol yesterday and I survived so that is good and the next one is on the calendar start of July. I have to pace myself, but I am doing pretty okay. 

I will repeat it again, because so many people have asked me again at the show last week and even every day on facebook posts and emails, that I will not be at the Bendigo show this year. 

I will still be doing the weekly updates, I will still be doing all the clubs obviously , but my body and mind would not be able the onslaught of doing a huge show like the Bendigo Show. Paul and I are working on a very special project in the meantime and you will get all the information and newsflashes very, very soon !

What to expect for this update : Blue Faced Leicester handspun sock weight yarn and the super lush Cashmere Merino Silk Yarn PLUS , of course, Club Sign ups for July, August and September !!!

Here are some photos of the May clubs which were shipped out early May. The teaser labels of the June Clubs , which are now being supplied, will be posted on facebook and insta this weekend ! If you would like to join the Art Journey Fun: message me and join the clubs !!!
