Saturday 23rd July

Had a lovely day on the Market on Saturday. The weather was fair for a change and I had lots of visitors - the promise of cake luring friends to come and sit and chat and knit.

Here are some of our visiors:




It seems that lots of people are interested in a sosusie yarns knitting group so I'll be turning my head to making that happen soon.

We are again getting lots of requests for knitting lessons. We're always happy to teach people the basics on the stall if we have time and the weather permits sitting out and of course if you're working on a project and need a bit of help we can do that (usually).

Oops x two

Apologies to anyone who turned up on Saturday to see us, I was meant to be on the market and unfortunately was rather under the weather and unable to make it. We've been going over a year now and we have never missed a week so I feel really bad about it especially as it was Marcia's birthday on Saturday and I was meant to be doing the stall so she could have her birthday off. Anyway, onwards and upwards.

I was just getting back into the blogging, both here and on my personal blog, taking terrible photos and putting up less than beautiful posts when my father was taken ill at the end of March and my sister and I have been rather taken up with him since then. It's time to get some semblance of normality back in my life though and part of that is getting back on track with the blogging and the stall.

I'm off to Sally Bourne in Crouch End tomorrow morning, it's closing down and I'm hoping to pick up some cheap knitting and crochet books that we can have on the stall. We've been wanting to have a range of books for a while but we wouldn't be able to sell them at anything approaching the Amazon type prices and as such, where our stall is, we'd find it difficult to justify the space and cost of them. So here's hoping that I can pick some up cheaply to pass on to you our lovely customers. I'm also hoping to pick up some beautiful fabrics so that I can make some bunting to sell on the stall.

I'm really not into finishing things at the moment. I've been congratulating myself today because I managed not to start a new project. Doh! I have no less than six projects on the go at the moment some of which just need to be sewn up. Aargh.
