We seem to be getting quite a lot of visitors in the shop which is really nice and a lot of nice comments about the shop and the range of wools we have.

There are some super patterns in all the new books from Rowan and Noro and at the moment the refurbished stock room is brimming with new stock.

We are off on holiday in September and earlier in the year I started a cardigan in Sirdar Blur as I thought it would be light to pack and warm on chilly evenings. I suddenly realised I need to get on with it so everyhing else has been put on one side to get that finished. It knits up quickly so I should be alright.

Looking forward to the Festival of Quilts at the NEC next week. Rowan has a stand there so maybe there will be some of the samples from the new magazine on show
