Last spaces available on next Sunday's Top Down Sweater Course!

In my sell out all-day workshop, I will guide you through every stage of making your very first top down sweater by creating a mini version.

I'll help you through all the scary bits (which aren't so scary really) and pack the day with tips and tricks for perfect pullovers.

The course includes a ball of yarn and the pattern, which goes from 0-6mths all the way to 5XL adult. You can buy needles on the day or bring 4mm and 5mm 80cm circular needles with you.

The day is beautifully balanced with relaxing knitting breaking up each stage of the sweater.

Booking essential..book in store or online..

Well today she brought the whole gang back to show me. We had a bit of fun trying to set up an impromptu photo shoot.

It absolutely makes my day when you come to show me your makes. What a privilege it is to be here and get to share this with you.

This is Grandma

Everyone who comes into Yarnology knows her even though you've never met her.

Every day, at least three times, I am asked: How did you come to have a Yarn shop?

And I always start by saying: "Well my Grandma had a yarn shop when I was a baby..."

Or perhaps it's been when you're falling in love with a yarn and pattern and wondering if you can justify it. And I explain that you don't need to take it all at once: you can buy a ball at a time and we set the rest aside for you. And you look at me in surprise.

"Oh like we used to!"

Yes...I reply...we do things like Grandma did here.

Or perhaps it's when you ask: how long have you been knitting? And I answer 35 years...my Grandma taught me when I was five. And to crochet as a teenager although she said she'd "never seen anyone so kack handed with a crochet hook" 🤣❤️

I hope it is in the warm welcome you get as you come through our doors. Through the support and encouragement I try to give. I think it might be in that sense of coming home that so many of you have commented on in the feel of the shop.

That's Grandma's magic.

And I know you've felt that as you've enjoyed the rocking chair my Granddad made.

Grandma is woven tightly into who I am as a person. Into every stitch I work. And into the fabric of Yarnology.

And on Wednesday morning she slipped away.

Forgive me if I am a little less myself for a while. If I look a little sad when you ask me how I came to have a shop...or why I love knitting... ❤️

I've come back to work. She wouldn't want me moping - would tell me to get on with it, with a tight Grandma hug.

And I just want to say a huge thank you to those folk who have been so very kind - who have stepped in to keep the shop open for me last week so I could go and visit her. Who have popped in to check on me. And haven't left me alone.

The shop will be closed on 4th 5th and 6th November as my family and I travel for her funeral. In the church she married my Granddad in...
