Exciting Times

I can’t tell you how excited I was to read this post from my lovely friend Emma today. No-one deserves to have their designs recognised more than Emma, she has such a great eye and really knows how to design things I want to make!

I was lucky enough to meet Debbie Bliss when she came to a trunk show at Fibre and Clay, which is also the place I first met Emma. Interestingly, I also met Lynne at that same trunk show.  Lynne and I have our own exciting news, which you can read about on Lynne’s blog. But, nothing made me whoop for joy quite so much as reading Emma’s news. If you see the Debbie Bliss Fall magazine on the newsstands, buy it, not just for Emma’s beautiful designs, but also to see why Debbie Bliss remains the most inspiring, entertaining and creative knitwear designers the UK currently has.

 

How can I begin to count the ways in which Fibre and Clay has changed my life? It will be missed

    Aww what a lovely blog post – I can see that you’ll miss fibre and clay such a lot Tracey. I was soooo excited too with Emmas news – her hats are truly gorgeous. I saw them first and thought wow -they’re totally fab, then I found out they were designed by Emma and that really made me smile. She really deserves her success. We have a lot to live up to!!!

    I love Emma’s designs…and have just hooked one from her blog…great that she has so many fabulous fun knits in the Debbie Bliss book.
    Really looking forward to seeing the fruits of your designs and Lynne’s too. You are all very enterprising and creative ladies!
    I know how much talent has been enriched by Fibre and Clay and how many friendships have been made

  • So proud of my crochet pupils on today's workshop at @ditzyrosemakes . Most had never picked up a hook before, but fuelled by copious mugs of tea, cake & mutual encouragement they can now officially call themselves crocheters! Thankyou all for coming & being such fun to work with xxx #ditzyrosemakes #grannycoolcrochet #crochet #amigurumi #learntocrochet And so it begins - checking the text actually fits the flatplan, swatching, proofreading & wondering why I put myself through this! New book nerves!!! Really looking forward to sharing this one' progress from plans to print over the next few months #amwriting #crochet #horgolás #haken #haaktechniekenbijbel #uncinetto #grannycoolcrochet #crochetgirlgang #crochetconcupiscence Toadstools - definitely not the edible kind! Hooking up a few of these today & remembering how satisfying quick crochet projects can be! #crochet #amigurumi #lovecrochet #naturalfibres #grannycoolcrochet #horgolás #crochetmakesmehappy #häkeln #crocheteveryday The perfect yarn / button combination? About to cast on a baby cardigan, an excuse to use these beautiful buttons from @textilegarden. I like to use natural fibres and this wool & mohair blend from @thefibrecompany is a firm favourite, especially as it contains a proportion of British wool. We should celebrate our British wool industry & the farmers & shepgerds who give us beautiful, sustainable fibres to work with. #choosewool #britishwool #supportbritishwool #knittersofinstagram #wool #buttons #knitting #yarnlover #woolweek #woolworks #madewiththefibreco Exciting post! My review copy of @emmavarnam 's new book just arrived. Can't wait to sit down with a cuppa and enjoy this! Perfect inspiration for the ladies on my next granny squares workshop. #grannysquares #grannysquares rock #grannycoolcrochet #grannysquarelove #amigurumi #crochetblanket Yesterday I made more elderberry jelly, but ran out of jars! Lucky my neighbour saves all hers & what was left is now in one of my @littlewrenpottery bowls. It feels like we're approaching peak autumn here, the starlings have stripped the rowan tree of its berries, the oak leaves are turning and the forest floor is strewn with sweet chesnuts. This really is my favourite season. #embracingautumn #upandautumn #autumn #thisautumnlife #slowliving #homesteading
