Yarn Shop Day.....and other news!

Yarn Shop  Day was a great day at 15 The Plain - I am so touched by the amount of people who came out especially to help celebrate their local Yarn Shop - people who I have known for ages and people who I haven't....I think it has made me realise what a wonderful community spirit exists in Thornbury and the surrounding areas. I am so proud to be part of it....!!

Heres couple of photos I managed to get on the day, not too many as I was quite busy.....

Knitting on the pavement with tea and cake...

 My Nan Dorothy, the oldest knitter in town at the grand old age of 92

And Jen (wearing her awesome newly knitted cardigan) having a cuddle with new shop puppy Reg :-)

And in the background of the last photo you can see a very serious looking Jacqui, trying to fathom out how to work the website....Jacqui already runs workshops for us at the shop, but is now joining us as a part time Shop Person (Hurrah!) so you might be lucky and get her next time you come into the shop instead of me - there's not much she doesn't know about anything to do with anything crafty, she's fab!

I hope you had a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend, and big thankyou's again to all of you who came out on Saturday to see us. You are all amazing :-)

We were included in the Lets Knit Magazine Blog (They organised YSD), you can find it here www.letsknit.co.uk/blog/yarn-shop-day-2014 

I have to say I love Jacquis prediction for the future at the end.......Lets hope it really happens :-)

Lots of love
