I have to say that we did not think that the move would go so smoothly and this thought was the cause of a few anxious moments amp sleepless nights over the last few weeks but with the help of our friends it went like a dream. The new shop is double the size of the original with a separate workshopclassroom and we would like to welcome everyone along to enjoy the full yarn experience at unit 133 The Commercial Centre below Quilters Dream.

We all learnt some great techniques and boy once we got going they grew really quickly. Turning the heal was fab as we turned the heal and shaped for the foot all at the same time no need to pick up stitches yeh . I think that everyone had an enjoyable time and hope that we will all go on to use what we learnt in many projects in the future. If anyone else would like to join the next course then please give me a call 01264 357333 or send me an email fionaloveyarn.com and if there is enough interest I am sure that Becky would be kind enough to come and teach us again.

It was good to meet so many new people and I hope that we helped to inspire you with some of our knitting and craft ideas.

I really enjoyed making a lovely gift for my husband every stitch a labour of love and it might go some way to making up for arranging the course on the date of our second wedding anniversary It wasnt too serious though as I still had a fantastic three course meal candles flowers and all made for me at the end of the day.
