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.

  1. 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.
