workshops

Today we had another knitting workshop and all ( even though it was just a few) seemed to enjoy it.

The next workshop is on Thursday and we are planning to do some hand sewn patchwork, this should be good fun and saves on having to carry a sewing machine around.

I am arranging other workshops for February , more patchwork, crewelwork, knitting a heavy duty shopping bag using up all those dreadful plastic shopping bags, and what about crochet, is there anyone out there fancy doing any crochet?

I need to get new batteries for my camera and take some more of our lovely frosty days or winter stormy seas. I think St Abbs is at its best in a storm - as long as I am warm. Not so good for the divers though.

Talking of divers.... and walkers I might add.....I am going to do a B&B a bit more seriously, so if any of you are looking for a place to stay Louise's B&B is the place, really relaxed, just next to the national Trust and within walking distance to St Abbs Harbour, there are some divers who already stay with us and they are great fun.

All Change

well I don't seem to have had a minute to write anything, but at last I have managed to sit and write something.

First of all, with a lot of help from my family., I moved most of the stock in the shop up to the coffee shop which is closed in the winter. I hope that was the right decision, I think so, at least people can come and get a cuppa and browse.

I held the workshop at the weekend in the coffee shop, As far as I know I think everyone enjoyed it

My daughter Trudi is away for the month staying with her my parents in Germany,and I miss her, I went to her houseto get something and thought I would take a photo of her/used to be mine, cat called Muffin, She didn't really like getting her photo taken, but allowed one before she put her head in the air and waltzed off to get food. While I was there I needed something from her kitchen cupboard and I got such a lovely surprise, so I took a photo, everything was so neat and tidy, she must take after me in other ways.



I will be holding another workshop on Monday 10th December from 2pm to 4.30pm, any one welcome,

Fabulous Friday

It has been absolutely lovely today, I went down to St Abbs harbour (without my camera) and just watched the waves as they came over the walls. I just love a rough sea-as long as I am not in it or on it.

I was away for a couple of days ( to Ireland) so didn't get too much knitting done but managed to get hint 5 finished on the stole that I am working on.

By the way, Woolfish has a little mention in the simply knitting magazine, in the calender section. Fame at last.

1/2 way there

Well I am half way there with the Stole that I am knitting, Although I have only done the

minimum amount of knitting on hint 4, I might if I have time do a few more rows of the circles.

I haven't done anything about Ravelry even though I have been invited to join, I need to look and get inspired to do other projects.

If only I had more time.

Toby brought his mum and dad to the shop today, I think he is 15 weeks old and just the most adorable jack russel.

By the way to justify his entry,not that it needs justifying, he is sitting on a pure wool throw(made in the Scottish Borders), the price- only...£39.95
