New Designs on the Site; Workshop Up-Date

Sunday 23^rd February 2014

I have added two new patterns to buy. There is Cave Pearls Throw and Mitts in Cocoon (and no, there is no end to the Cave Pearls collection, we now have seven options and I’m not planning on stopping).  If you are attending my Cave Pearls workshop, do not buy this as it is included as a free pattern to all those who come along. The throw is simply lovely to fold around yourself.  And the mitts – long in the arm and knitted in the round – take very little time or yarn. Seven balls (or more) for the throw and one for the mitts.  You can view them here. And then there is ‘Shatter’, a half-moon shawl, which you can see here. The download includes three options for your knitting joy, including Kidsilk Haze, colourwashing, luxury DK  – and border/cast-off choices too. Now, workshop up-date:  I have four courses on the site at the moment, all of which you can see here.  There are spaces on only one of these – the Half-Moon course on 14 June still has three places.  The others are all fully booked, but I do get cancellations, so if you wanted any of the others, do let me know and I contact you if a place comes up. I am planning to add several more dates and new subjects very soon.  These will include a Moebius Introduction Day which will run on a Saturday, followed the next day, by a Moving On With Moebius Day which will run on the following day, Sunday.  So you could come to one, or both.  You do not have to do the whole weekend, but you could if you wanted. Then there will be a Halloween inspired workshop, which with my usual insightful and clever flair, I am planning for October. And in November, there will be a Christmas Workshop. Dates and all details will be added very soon.  If you want a ‘heads up’ as I pop them on, contact me and I will email alert you. I am absolutely loving the workshops here.  Thank you so much for coming to them. They often sell out, and sometimes I wish I had more space and could take more people, but actually, I was thinking yesterday as we taught a perfect group of  incredibly talented half-moon knitters, that these numbers work really well as tutors – and I hope they work well for the class members.  I have taught classes of almost 30, albeit with an assistant, and we did have two days.  These were very rewarding, if for me, very stressful, but I really do love the small classes I usually teach here and out and about.
