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.

Holidays

Just a quick note to say that we're off to the west of Ireland on holiday tomorrow.



The weather is always uncertain there, so I'll be taking plenty of knitting with me! I took a couple of orders for boleros at Wheathampstead last week so I'll be getting on with them plus my open university studies (maths and stats) - I always seem to have an assignment hanging over me!



The weather has been very hot and dry here, which doesn't suit me, so it'll be a relief to be somewhere cool and damp.



We've remenbered to pack the camera, so there'll be pictures to post when we're back.

Quick Update

Not too much to report since I last posted, as June was a very quiet month - perhaps the heat is making everyone lethargic.

Our cat Katie is still missing and we're trying to keep hopeful that she will be found. There was one possible sighting of her some weeks ago but we weren't told until a couple of days later, so of course when we went to call her, she had moved on. Our main hope is that she wil get back to us eventually because of her microchip.

In the meantime, our other cat refuses to come in the house, except very briefly to eat, and has become very vocal. We're not sure what to make of that and hope she will get back to normal when the weather cools down.

Knitting wise, I'm off to Leeds tomorrow for the Knitting and Crochet Guild AGM, which should be a good weekend. there's a "show and tell" session for members to talk about their current projects and I'm taking one of my tapestry yarn cushions, plus a color-changing cotton scarf that I'm working on. It will be interesting to see what else is on show too.

I'm at Wheathampstead market next Sunday (18th) - it's usually pretty quiet, but sometimes I do have some good sales there and it's a pleasant place to go. Who knows - I may be surprised by a rush of customers!
