As I started to gather the bits and pieces for my trip to Wales this weekend, knitting projects first of course 😉  I started to think about the other yarn/art festivals, I’d like to visit.  There are, as you’d probably expect, quite a few, many of them are much further afield than the UK – Maryland Wool and Sheep, Vogue Knitting, Knit Camp and Squam to name but a few.  As for UK based festivals, I’d still like to go to Woolfest in Cumbria, Fibre East in Bedfordshire and Unravel in Surrey.

Dreaming away, i suddenly realised that I’ve completely forgotten to tell you all about the book from the Yarn in the City ladies, that Deirdre picked up for me when she went to Unravel earlier in the year.

The Barbara Prime Fuzzy Mitten Mystery KAL 2016 kicked off last week, on Friday the 15th of the April and I just couldn’t resist the temptation to join in.  I’ve either been too late or too busy to take part in previous years, but being on the ball for a change (well kind off), I signed up and paid for my pattern.

It’s a Spring Thing

I’m currently trying not to look up from my computer, as the sun is rising directly outside the window I sit at and it’s making my eyes water.  I’ll be safe just as soon as it lifts a little higher and I’ll be able to watch the cows march back to the fields after milking.

When I posted the other day, I had great plans to publish again the day after.  That was Sunday and it’s Wednesday already, what’s happened?  It’s not like I’ve been stuck under a pile of chocolate eggs or something, anyway, better late than never I guess….

I thoroughly enjoyed my morning dog walk, it was beautiful out there and has now turned into the most glorious of days.  Spring is definitely in the air, which has really helped us as we had our Olann and photo shoot earlier.  I’m really excited about this coming issue and I know I’ve said that before, but it really is getting better every time (well I think so)  I’m not sure if it’s because we’re more knowledgeable about the process, or whether we’re just more comfortable with what we’re doing?  Whatever it is, it feels very much like it’s working.

Quick, quick, quick as there’s knitting group to go to tonight and serious cake eating to do.  Not that I’m supposed to be eating wheat, but bugger it anyway, Victoria Sponge is one of my favourites.

I’ve been looking at things for the magazine and as per usual it’s sparked a variety of ideas and plans.  It also made me think about personal experiences, so I wanted to share my non knitting thoughts today.  Forgive me if you’re expecting something else, my next post will be woolly and much more fibre filled.
