 My main news for last month is not knitting

related at all, but as a proud mummy,

 I just had to mention Number 2 son's Graduation -

 a glorious day at UEA!!

 

I then sneaked off to Suffolk

for a couple of days with an old college friend

- the villages in her area are so pretty

and how about this as your village hall?

 

Cool Contours (our new local arts centre ) had

 a very successful launch, a couple of weeks ago

 and if you are interested in booking

any of the courses we have lined up

 then do have a look at the

Workshops and Courses section

in the menu to the right.

~starting with easy projects for beginner's

and moving on to cables and

knitting in the round,

with Freeform available in January

for the more adventurous among you.

Knit Today and Let's Get Crafting

are both featuring the up and coming

 knitting courses and they are also listed

 in the events on the

UK Handknitting Association website.

 If you have already received

the latest Rowan magazine ~

take a look at the 2 projects

 which I knitted up for the magazine,

Benbecula on page 14 and 15 and

Wentworth, a Kaffe Fassett design

 in kid silk haze (which took quite a while

 to knit, with all the colour changes

but it was well worth it! )
