UNRAVEL 2010

Posted in Forum, News | No Comments »

Posted on: Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Following the success of Unravel earlier this year we will be extending next year’s event to take place over two days, Saturday 27 February and Sunday 28 February 2010.

Unravel 2010 will be bigger than ever and therefore enabling a wider variety of stands and giving everyone a chance to see, hear, share and wonder at all things woollen. Activities will include a marketplace, talks, demonstrations, workshops and a knitting surgery.
Tickets are £6.00 in advance for the 2 days or £8.00 on the door.
I have tickets available in the shop which I think would make great stocking fillers!
You can also purchase them directly from Farnham Maltings

We will be publishing further details about the festival and the workshops shortly.

For more information either contact the shop or Farnham Maltings.

A Pretty Skirt for a Pretty Girl

I have knit a really cute skirt for Little Miss Molly.  She looks so adorable in it.cadoro-skirt-1

The pattern is Caiden’s Skirt by Yumiko Sakurai and is available free from Ravelry, or from here.

I knit this skirt for Molly using Louisa Harding’s Ca’d'oro, which is excellent news for you as it’s currently in the sale, £3.90, reduced from £4.95! (you’ll have to be quick though as once it’s gone, it’s gone).  I used just under 3 balls of shade 7 for the main colour and less than a ball of shade 5 for the contrast colour on the bottom of the skirt and the crochet tie.

The pattern is written for 4mm and 5mm straight needles but I knit it on circulars so I didn’t have to seam it.  I used 4mm and 5mm KnitPro Symfonie Interchangables.

It’s a really quick and easy knit.  The pattern is written for a 12 month old but could easily be made larger or smaller by adding or omitting some of the 18 stitch panels.
