Shawl blocked! I went to my lys to get some lace wires but they were all out so the edges of my shawl are a little bumpy. They said they’d call me...
Finally some sun!
To make the most if it and a rare day off from shows and work, I wanted to treat D to a day out.
When I heard about Ilfracoombe’s tunnel beaches, I thought this would be perfect… We loved rock pooling as kids.
We bought a net and headed down to the rocks…
There wasn’t much to catch today, but we did have fun.
I recommend it if you are in the area and know we’ll definitely go back.
Hope you had a lovely weekend too!
Bye for now,

Ooo the Manx feels so soft I want to start spinning now! … Wondering if I should put the rest of the fleece on to wash?

A big think you to everyone who kept me busy dyeing last week, despite being a boiler ring down… Orders are out or packed for tomorrow’s post run. I should also thank Makro for having a great customer service and replacing said boiler ring without a quibble. I’ll test the new one on a couple of custom dye orders this coming week, while I photograph stock for this coming Fridays (29th) shop update.
We have a wonderful time at the Devon Lace Teachers Guild Day yesterday. This was an ‘open to all’ sale at Exeter Racecourse. It was great to meet new faces and to say hello to fellow stall holders I’ve met on occasion at other textile shows. It was also wonderful to see all of that stunning lace work!
After the show we rushed home to scrub up for a Wedding reception in the evening… We had great fun and Darrin really restrained himself over the hog roast… I was proud… Bless him!
This afternoon I plan to do nothing more than sit on the sofa, knit and watch podcasts!
Hope you are all having a great weekend too?

If you are around next year, I really do recommend this show for a family day out.
