Kindness of others

Fiona from TizDuster very generously posted to me 7 balls of yarn to add to our blanket making stash and they arrived yesterday morning..Of course I instantly reached for my knitting needles and got making!!

Thank you Fiona!!xx

The Wall Street Journal and Yarn Alive with our blankets :)

Just look at this! Knitting with new friends

Such a wonderful story in The Wall Street Journal **- and some of our blankets (Marta!) are there - how precious to see them inspiring these woman.

Come on ladies - time to reach for that surplus stash and your hooks and needles and get crafting !


**Our blankets are shown around 2.13 - 2.20minute mark

We are off to a fibre festival

Yes we are!
We are holding a table to help raise awareness and get more squares coming in - so pop over to Yarnival to see what we are up to.

And - with apologies to Angela - some late sharing of photos of some gorgeously soft blankets - They are probably already in Japan!

Thank you - I love love love the colours - thank you so much Angela!!
