July News
July - this month, most schools break up, for what
(as children), we saw as endless days of sun and play!
July is Wimbledon,
and strawberries and cream,
Henley Regatta, 
paddling at the seaside,
making sandcastles on the beach,
and burying mum or dad up to their necks in sand.
Here at home, I have been busy designing a new range of
babywear for a client, in softest cashmerino, as well as
sketching ideas for a range of elegant shawls and wraps
to wear with evening and wedding dresses.
There are several alpaca projects on the needles or
in the sketchbook for Grant, including a shawl,
using some handspun, midnight black, alpaca.
I did however escape from the workroom this week,
to visit my friend in London for her birthday,
(she of the boxes of chocolates and inspiration for
'The Continental Chocolate Shawl!!').
We drank too much champagne ,ate too much,
talked too much and laughed too much
but what a wonderful time!
And, as her apartment is right next to the South Bank Centre,
I did manage to pop into the Hayward Gallery
to see the amazing Hyperbolic Reef Project
If you look at the menu to the right, you will see a page,
where you will find lots more information and pictures
about this wonderful piece of work.
The project is showing in London until August 17th,
admission is free, so if you are in that area
do go and see what fantastic effects can be achieved
with a bit of yarn and a crochet hook!!
