For those about to Shop (on Sunday) ... I saluuuute you :D

As well as this WALL of Yarn, I will also have lots of NicsKnots Project Bags, and a couple of signed copies of WoollyWormHeads 'Bambeanies' up for grabs too :D
Also, don't forget to bring your 10% off vouchers, as I will be writing your names on the back of them, putting them in a hat to win a prize draw at the end of the Trunk Show !!!

See you on Sunday, at Purl City Yarns in Manchester :D

Just call me a Bag Lady :D

As you all know, I am very good friends with Nic Lucas, aka NicsKnots
We've done a few shows together now, and I have my own exclusive range of her project bags too :D
We've known each other for ages, we met through a Parenting website called MumsOnline, as at the time our kids were babies, and we shared a love of using cloth nappies as opposed to nasty plastic ones, as well as a love of knitting of course. If I remember correctly, Nic's daughter was one of the first recipients of a pair of Babylonglegs woollies... or was it yarn to make some... :P
Over the years, we've built up our respective businesses, from home, juggling children, housework (or in my case avoiding housework) and Husbeasts :D
Not an easy task, I can tell you!!
Nic has recently moved away from Folksy (do I dare insert 'About bloody time' here or would that be unprofessional of me?) and has set up her own website... which looks fantastic, and will cost her a LOT less and she'll have more control.
She's currently running a blog competition, asking customers to submit pictures of her products 'in the Wild' so to speak, as she wants to build up a picture gallery on her site.
All you have to do, to be in with a chance of winning, is take a picture of a NicsKnots product, be it a bag or a needle roll, or BOTH... and post it on her Facebook page or you can email it to her if you don't use Facebook.
The prize is a £30 voucher for Nic's shop, a skein of Babylonglegs yarn, and Rachel Coopey, an awesome British Indie designer is donating some of her patterns.

So what are you waiting for??
Get snapping... you've got till 25th of March to enter!!!!

P.S I am totally unashamed of my collection of project bags... and this is only half of them :P

OOOh... !!!

My lovely friend, NicsKnots tweeted this picture this morning, she's the most awesome person for finding me in magazines :)

The colourway that was featured in "Knit Today" was this one, 'Rainbow Brite' ... A lovely, happy space-dyed colourway :D

Music, Sweet Music at FibreFlurry!!

Babylonglegs, NicsKnots and Atomic Knitting have all come together for this years show, and we bring you a musical themed collaboration!

You’ll get a space-dyed skein of high twist Merino Sock yarn, in soft “confectionary” colours, a beautifully made guitar print project bag, and a lovely little Violin Stitch marker… for when you need to fiddle :D

There will be 10 available to buy, either at the Friday Night Preview/Quiz Night, or on the actual day of the show, at a price of £22.

I am sure you won’t be able to resist this sweet little package…

See you there!!
