Knitting Up North

Printed Textiles, knitting and crafting

New notebooks…

I’m finally getting in gear for the summer fair season but I still need things that are nice and easy (and pain free!) to print so I’ve started with some notebooks.  I thought it was time for some new colours and also time to print some of my designs that haven’t been on the cute [...]

Back again…

Naughty me, I disappeared again.  When you’re off work the days and weeks just merge and I’ve now got to the point when I’m not sure what day it is sometimes!  Things have been bubbling along, I’ve been in the studio when I can, just trying to keep doing things.  Printing anything that requires lifting [...]

Where did I go?

Sorry for disappearing off the face of the planet but I have a really good excuse – I moved house!  The purchase of our house finally sped up and suddenly we were moving on the 30th March, house buying is a nightmare – never again!  So we’ve been in the house for almost three weeks [...]

One fair cancelled, another booked…

I thought I wasn’t having much luck with fairs this week – I had to cancel my spot at the Apples and Pears event in Nottingham because I couldn’t walk very well (let alone carry anything!) and then we booked a stall for Craft Candy at the Nottingham Craft Mafia event on the 20th March [...]

First fair outside Sheffield…

I’m all booked in for a fair and it’s my first outside of Sheffield.  Isn’t that strange?  I can’t believe I’ve never been to a fair in another city before!  I was always put off the idea because I don’t drive and thought it’d be too difficult to get anywhere. For the moment I’m sticking [...]

Happy New Year everyone!

I’s 2010 and where here have I been? Not on here – that’s for sure! Ok, here’s a quick round up of the last month: Julefest fair was lots of fun – not very busy as far as sales go, especially for those of us not selling ‘child friendly products’ but i had a good [...]

Julefest…

I get really REALLY excited about Christmas so you can imagine how excited I am about doing 2 Christmas fairs in as many weeks! Here is the next one and it has a lovely flyer which I’m mentioned on! (My old name is anyway!) I’ll be sharing with the hugely talented Sian of Siansburys so [...]

What a November…

Don’t you just love this time of year?  The weather get’s lovely and cold and all the Christmas festivities start!  I’ve had a mad few weeks making like a crazy lady for a few events.  Firsly it was for Open studios at Yorkshire Artspace which was on 20th and 21st November.  I’ve only been in [...]

Mini Woolfest…

I was at the Wool & Textiles Craft Fair yesterday and I had a great time!  I didn’t get a good chance to look around all that much, when I did the place was absolutely packed with people so I couldn’t get a good look at everything!  I really hope that this wont be the [...]

Mixing and fixing…

I had another print day yesterday, I’m trying to get as many panels done as I can before my next fair so I’m working nice and hard!  I’ve also been working on some new colours and yesterday I finally decided that I should get that mixer I’d been thinking about for a while.  I went [...]
