There is a lot going on this month:
Yarnstravaganza
The UK Hand Knitting Association is running its "Yarnstravaganza" event in support of local yarn shops again from 27 September to 4 October. Check out their map and shop listings for details of events near you.
Knitober
Strathcarron Hospice are running a Knitober event to raise funds. They are asking people to sign up, knit Christmas themed items during October, get sponsored to do so and also to hand in any knitting to the hospice in November for them to raise more vital funds. If you sign up, you'll get a welcome pack which includes a discount code for Pembertons and some festive patterns to get started.
Glasgow School of Yarn
After a great trip to the Scottish Festival of Yarn, we're now looking forward to going to the Glasgow School of Yarn on Saturday 18 October. At time of writing, Saturday tickets are still available but they have sold out in the past so, if you think you'd like to come with us, don't leave it too long to get your tickets.
We won't be arriving before 11am, so a standard ticket for the Saturday will be fine, unless you want any of the goodies that are being offered with a GSoY deluxe ticket.
If you're planning to come to Glasgow with us but didn't fill out the survey, please let me know either by emailing susan@yellowgingerdesigns.co.uk or mentioning it at a meetup so that I remember to include you in discussions about travel plans. I'll be emailing everyone who I think is coming in the next week or so with travel details so watch out for that.
Happy crafting!
Susan
