On the 20th of October, we have provisionally scheduled a Beginners' Class, which will run if...

Sunshine and/or socks??
June 26 2007
Just throwing this one out there... Would anyone be interested in a sock knitting class over the first two Saturdays of August? Bearing in mind that the first Saturday will be over the bank holiday weekend? The class can be a beginners class, a toe up method class or a combination of both as Mary and I are quite happy...

Yarn and Chocolate
March 06 2007
It was a really fun weekend over at TIK in Blackrock. The title of this post is fairly indicative... Top Down Knitting kicked off the weekend. Jacqui stole some of the new Rialto yarn in her all time favourite colour (Teal) to get that baby cardigan started. Rialto will be up on the website soon, promise! Jacqui's getting a bit...

And they’re off…
February 18 2007
Just for a day or two. :) Jacqui and I will be in Birmingham tomorrow, "working" hard on your behalf i.e. seeing, feeling, ooh-ing and aah-ing over new yarns and knitting paraphernalia at a the Craft, Hobby and Stitch Show. Dispatch of internet orders will be slightly delayed but, over the coming months, I think you will see it has...

Weekend Knitting
February 13 2007
It seems there was a shocking lack of picture-taking this weekend… If I had taken pictures, you would be looking at three would-be lace knitters woman-fully tackling the magic loop technique for the first time on Saturday morning and another cementing her knitting knowledge.

Photo Friday
February 02 2007
Spring has arrived! And finally all those lovely new balls of yarn that had been waiting patiently in the stock room have had their moment in the sun. I'm quite picky about photographing our yarn in natural daylight, to the extent that I was checking out the Met Eireann website earlier this week so I could plan the best day...
