I took the day off work on Friday as I had a few things to sort for the week-end. One of which was casting on my socks for the journey north.
Yes I have been to Holmfirth for the week-end and yes another Rowan Workshop. We couldn't have wishd for better weather - it was glorious. Plenty of sunshine.
This time it was Beaded Knits with Debbie Abrahams. The workshop was good for knitters who could already knit and purl and wanted to have a go at knitting with beads. We covered the following techniques - how to thread beads, how to read a beaded pattern and how to knit with beads using the slip-stitch method.
We had the choice of a project from from Debbie's latest book 25 beaded knits
to start knitting, or could knit up a sample swatch of one of the projects from the book of our own choosing. Debbie had on display knitted samples of most of the projects in her latest book.
And
David and I meet up with Liz for breakfast at The Old Bridge Hotel. Rowan put on a spread for lunch - they have a new caterer who brings the food in then last night there were 9 of us who met up and went for dinner at Bengal Spice the local Indian in Holmfirth. It was a lovely evening and still light when we came out of the Indian just after 10 which made for a pleasant change.
Pop back soon for a glimpse of Blithe in all her glory.
Happy Knitting
