O my goodness, life has been busy since moving into The Old Tile Works........is it really 10 weeks?!
I have had an amazing summer (fantastic weather too !) with lots of visitors, & I've met some lovely, interesting people! I just love the wonderful view as I drive down the hill every morning & so blessed to be working in such a stunning place!
These were the ladies from my first beginner's Crochet class, it was great fun & it was great to see what one lady has been making since! The Beginner's knitting class was also such fun.......we laughed all day! I have now got further dates arranged for the next few weeks, details on the workshop page. I'm also working out some dates for Natural dyeing workshops.

It is great to have the space to do my dyeing without having to clear everything away to cook tea at the end of the day!
I have had quite a few orders for 'Lincoln Swirl jackets' & am now working on a special order to make a lighter version of this jacket in my Natur-ally dyed wool.
I have also had commissions for a baby blanket in some gorgeous local alpaca wool,, & am currently working on some accessory designs for a new mohair company
Mo & Co that will be launched at Yarndale a brand new Yarn & Knitting Show in Skipton on 28th & 29th September, that I'm hoping to get along to.

Jim at Yellow Belly Woodwork has made some lovely buttons for me from Cherry wood, drying here in the sun!
Another of the summer's highlights was attending the preview of the Close Knit Gansey exhibition at Hull Maritime museum where one of my Gansey inspired jumpers is on display. The Knitting Genealogist has written more about it here. There were lots of ganseys, old & new. (The exhibition is on until November.)
So it's been a busy few weeks, & I'm already getting some orders for Christmas presents, & will soon be dyeing more wool for accessories & other gifts..........
