TIK will be closed on those days and that will also mean no Knit Night that week... Apologies for any inconvenience - we'll be back to our usual...

We're on page 38 of this month's Gloss Magazine :) Anna Carey interviewed Debbie Bliss on the day she visited This is Knit and went on to write an excellent piece on the resurgence of hand knitting. It's a great article in a brilliant magazine - check it out!

And now we have daylight pictures with actual people in them :)             The new shop has had a great reaction so far. We kicked off with Intro to Sock Knitting Part II, which took place in our on site "classroom" (which was just a bit untidy, but the girls forgave us...). We had lots of visits from...

And we'll add them asap :) So here's the reason for the lack of blog and general web updates.  It's a good reason, so I think you'll forgive us!
