There is WOOL in Newtown

Indeed. And I've been meaning to tell you that since August 2007...

Nothing fancy, but if you find yourselves in these parts and accidentally loose your knitting needles you do not need to fret. Just go to Caroline's at 5 Market Street (Powys SY16 2PQ).

The Good Yarn Stall

A little treasure I was recently reminded of is The Good Yarn Stall at London's Spitalfields Traders Market.
Open every Sunday from 10am 'till 5pm and full of gorgeous yarns. You'll find there beautiful organically dyed cottons, yarn spun from banana fibres, amazing cashmere, sari silk and more...

Knitting in Venice

I went on a totally indulgent knitting trip to Italy, with my knitting friend. I had so much good coffee that, technically speaking, it should keep ma awake for the rest of my life. I knitted pretty much all the time: on the plane (there & back), in varous cafés, restaurants, on public transport, in the hotel...
Actually, this is exactly why I have turned into such a dreadful blogger - too much knitting. Luckily this is a rather good excuse for someone publishing a knitting blog!
I woke up this morning thinking "If I don't manage to put the needles down for long enough to post quickly I will sure get kicked out from all these lovely knitting blog-rings I took so much trouble to join!"
And here I am: knitting out of my reach, typing away... and actually enjoying myself.
Pleased to be back.



I've got loads to show for my long absence and promise that I will get organized and keep you somewhat better posted in these coming weeks.




Here is a sculptura free form muff, which kept my fingers toasty on Murano island.
