Welcome.

Welcome to the Willow Knits blog.

I'm Anne and I'll be using this blog to let you know what is happening with Willow Knits during the year.

I'll include which Farmers' Markets and shows I'm going to be at, what I'm working on and general news and events plus a little about myself.

If you want to buy one of the scarves or some of the yarn featured, just look in our etsy shop (to the right of the page) or contact me and I'll reserve it for you.

Update

Over a month since I last posted - how time rushes by!

We've been very busy, mainly because we've been away for a skiing holiday in Jasper, Canada - which was fantastic, although a very long journey (20hrs) and I came back with a heavy cold which has taken a while to shake off.

While away I found a lovely yarn shop - Stychen Tyme (www.stychentyme.ca)- I never actually stop thinking about yarn or knitting - and was tempted by some of their great range of books and patterns. It was only that I had very full suitcase going out that stopped me from buying more of their yarn, though I did manage to get in some skeins of a nice handpainted uruguayan wool to add to my stash! If anyone is visiting Jasper, Alberta it's well worth a look.

I'm off to St Alban's market tomorrow and am hoping that we will see some signs of spring at last. I've got my summer bolero samples ready to put out and some silk daffodils to decorate the stall, so I hope my customers will be inspired to place their orders for the new season!

Some more silks are due back from my knitters too, so I'm looking forward to that, plus I have to get dyeing so I can keep them busy!
