Another busy week of finalising a knitting pattern for Christmas Gift Yarn Club, and some hand-dyeing. Here's the 2 colourways up for offer in the shop this week.
Australian Organic Merino in Ocean blues - 'Gt Ocean Road' colourway (I have to say I popped the skeins in with the last one of 'Mt Baw Baw' the greys that I put up on the last update - oh my! The 2 colourways look so good together... If I had time to make a Stephen West shawl (well known for his fabulous designs using colour) I'd have nabbed them for myself!
and Blue Faced Leicester in some rather lovely emerald greens 'Daintree' colourway. Unfortunately the photograph doesn't do it justice as green is the hardest colour to photograph true to life - the dark greens are much darker and the emerald greens much brighter, this is a good unisex colourway - pair of socks for the man in your life?...
I've also dyed up the second installment of Christmas Gift Yarn Club... but that's a secret so I'm not going to spoil that for anyone...
I've been out and about checking out local markets to see which one suits my products the best and have decided on St Andrew's Market. It is on every week, but to start with I will be a casual stallholder - probably aiming to attend once every 3-4 weeks from the first weekend in October, but more often closer to Christmas. I'll post up dates when I will be attending as soon as I schedule the dates. I didn't manage to get any photographs of the lovely market, which is in the countryside in a woodland setting, as I was trying to wrangle a rather muddy 2 year old who was being unreasonable and shouting 'I NEED CAKE!' at the top of his voice. Needless to say he won't be helping me out at the market! All profits would be spent immediately on cake!
