June 12 Quarterly Crafternoons Gathering Is Just Around The Corner

Well folks, much to my astonishment, it's almost here again. We are just weeks away from our June gathering and I think this one has come around faster than any of our other gatherings. Perhaps it's the chaotic life I feel like I'm leading at the moment that gives me little time for anything other than living in the present moment! 

But I can say, thank you to Jenny Scammell who will be running our second workshop this time around and I am sooooo completely excited. I hope you all set aside the 12 til 2 time slot to sit with Jenny and make a gorgeous woolly infinity scarf that Jenny is writing out the pattern for. Scoot along to our Facebook page, Quarterly Crafternoons, to see pics and find out more. I'm yet to discuss yarn requirements with Jenny but stay tuned and I'll find out more and pass it on. 

There will be our usual Beginners Workshop and this time I will run it for a 2hour session as 1 is just not enough to walk away feeling confident that you can beat this 'I can't crochet' thing! You still have to practise at home though. When I first taught myself, I sat for 4hours straight and I did indeed end up with a granny square. A little wonky but it was a real, recognisable granny square. That was 4 hours I say!  

Meantime, if you're around in Warburton this weekend, come and say hello to me and talk some crochet talk while I sit at my stall at The Warby Artisans and Produce Market in the Mechanics Hall, 11-3 (on facebook too). This has become another milestone which to measure the passing of time. A once a month market stall certainly keeps me organised with a making goal each week. Though truthfully, I cram it all in the last week and keep my fingers crossed! Here's a pic of my scarflettes that have sold well and of course I have one for myself that keeps me feeling like I'm wearing a cuddle! It's quite lovely. And thank you to my beautiful man for making such gorgeous buttons upon my request.

Here's the market stall.....

And here's one commissioned for a friend of a friend. And she loved it too! 

So I guess I'll be seeing you all on Wednesday June 12th, 11am. Remember to bring your show and tell, a work in progress, a friend and an appetite for cake. 

With much love an anticipation
