Knitting and Stitching Show ticket offer

Spring K&S is on at Olympia from 13–16 March: I'm teaching a couple of classes there and the organisers have come up with a ticket offer that we tutors can extend to anyone interested in coming along – you don't have to take a class!

You need to book a ticket online at www.theknittingandstitchingshow.com/spring before midday 12th March, quoting discount code TEA14, and you can get a ticket for £11 (the normal on-line price is £12.50 or it's £15 on the door).

Well, that was embarrassing...

So, way back when (October 17 last year, if we're going to be precise), I said:


...this WILL be the winter in which I make more clothes. I'm going to aim for one garment a month. Surely that's possible...


And that was the last I said on the matter. Actually, that was the last I said on this blog...

And I didn't make any clothes...

I did do a lot of other things, although almost all of them work-orientated. However, I'm not going to let my total failure to achieve almost my only non-work goal set me back any further than it already has. I'm going to wedge the most interesting bits of the last four months into a few posts and then, onwards and upwards...

It's a plan: you've got to start with a plan.

Before Christmas, Liberty ordered some more pincushions. Some of those that made the trip to the West End were...

The lovely Julie caught this rabbit for me to turn into a pincushion...

Sarah B, china-hunting supremo, found me a whole collection of shoes and boots...

Conjoined swans...

A present from Margate...
Hey, little donkey...
I have no idea what purpose this china basket originally served...
