Getting ready for winter, craft markets and new knits!

Winter Knits

Usually I’m not that thrilled with the turn in seasons and depleting daylight, but somehow this year seems different. The cool breezes, warm clothes and autumnal colours in shop windows are getting me really excited to knit and layer up. It may have something/a lot to do with the fact that I’ve taken the plunge and signed up for my first ever craft fair. With no real plan in mind I whizzed off the application form and let the pressure inspire me. Best. decision. ever.

So every spare minute I have is being spent knitting, or thinking about my stall. I need to train an army of elves to help me get ready… or learn how to knit with my feet. Hm, I like the sound of the first one. A few choice selections are already making it into my shop, so please go and have a look around. I’ll post a few more details for the market nearer the time, even for me September is too soon to start mentioning the ‘C’ word… (Christmas!)

I spent a lovely day with friends in Wells yesterday painting pottery, which is a lot trickier than it sounds. Hope you’re having a good weekend. What have you been up to?
