Knitmas
This is a bit slow in the writing but last week, we had a Knitmas event at A Good Yarn.
Kate and Ruth from Practical Publishing came for the evening to give a talk. There was games, food and fun.
Kate Heppell is the editor of Knit Now magazine and her talk was on the process of making a design from inception to publication in the magazine. It was very interesting and they brought lots of lovely samples to show us.
We had a prize draw and a couple of competitions – how many stitches can you cast on in a minute and how many rows can you knit blindfolded in two. Lots of hilarity ensued as you can imagine.
We’d prepared lots of knitting kits and many of them had a Christmas theme.
There’s an advent calendar in the shop for customers this month. The first customer that spends the first £10 of the day gets to open the calendar. I had a peek – the prizes are good.
The window display this year is pretty cool. Everyone contributed green strips and Carolyn and Kate have produced the most wonderful Christmas Tree.
I am knitting lots at the moment but they are all for Christmas presents, so I can’t share them with you yet.
That sounds like such a wonderfully cosy evening. I'm sure the blindfolded knitting was hilarious, I'm sure I would make a huge mess out of it.
ReplyDeleteIn response to rising demand for premium packaging options, China Bopet matt film suppliers have hit a new level of excellence in the modern market. They have a soft, non-glossy texture that makes their films ideal for premium labels, book covers, and high-end product packaging due to the sophisticated appearance it imparts. How these films have evolved to serve so many purposes in fields as diverse as gift wrapping, food packaging, and electronics is mind-boggling.
