It's hard to blog without an internet connection!

We've had no internet at home since February, makes blogging a little tricky! Still knitting though :)
Only got two more shows this year, Saturday 1st December at the Malvern Christmas Lights fair, and Saturday 8th at Made in Shropshire in the square in Shrewsbury.
I am focussing more on the stripey textured jumpers I make, here are the latest two:

I've also been making crochet roses with mohair:

Belated happy new year!

Spent several hours this morning updating my Folksy shop, lots more hats and things on there now. I've been working on a skirt recently in lovely blues, just needs some ribbon to finish it off.

Last fair of the year

At Leominster Victorian fair tomorrow, 10th December. Selling the usual hats and booties, plus flat felt and spotty buttons!

Nice day in Tenbury

It was a bit nippy in Tenbury yesterday! The market stalls had ice on the tops and woolly hats were definately needed. My sweetest sale was to a lovely woman who was in the early stages of pregnancy and bought a pair of little booties as the first gift to her baby :)

Tenbury AppleFest this weekend

Just about ready for our first outing of the autumn at the AppleFest in Tenbury Wells on the south Shropshire border. Felted some new hats - we had to light the woodburner to dry them and sweltered for a couple of days! Pricing, making business cards, pickling onions, it's all go in this little corner of the Long Mynd.

Hats drying in front of the fire

wild horses up the road, nothing to do with hats

We are also making a Folksy shop, which is part of a community of people who make and sell all sorts of things. It's a slow process when you have a busy 4 year old at home, but we are at the stage of listing things now. The shop address is http://www.folksy.com/shops/TheRainbowSheep
