Well this is a first! Because Anne at @yarnoclock2 has samples of so many of my designs on display already - including a full window! - I’ve been going through my sample bags removing samples I don’t need to take with me to the trunk show on Saturday!

Nearly missed that my Crenellate Shawl came out 2 weeks ago in Knit Now, issue 179! It’s a top down triangular shawl with a textured pattern & a garter stitch border. I used WYS Elements DK & I love the way the light highlights the texture - see last pic! The mag is on sale for 2 more weeks!

I can hardly believe it’s nearly a week since EAYF & the brioche workshop I taught on Saturday. My students were tackling 2-colour brioche for the 1st time & they did so well! I am proud of them. I will also be giving this workshop at the North East Wool Show in August - all info on the website.

500 Miles The East Anglia Yarn Festival was fabulous and I think I enjoyed it even more than last year. I think it's so nice when you can do an event more than once, as things are more familiar the second time round. I had forgotten quite how… https://kathandrewsdesigns.com/2025/03/18/500-miles/

8 more rows of the border of my new sample of Elinor Hap Shawl, then it will be time for the edging! Just trying to decide whether this is a good choice for car knitting tomorrow or if I’d be better off with something less delicate!

Wearing one of my (6!) samples of The Imperial Cowl. Over 80 copies of this pattern have been downloaded by advance ticket holders for the North West Winter Wool Festival so I’m hoping I’ll be seeing plenty more versions of the cowl this weekend at the show in Blackpool!

I found 2 shoe boxes of old letters that are musty smelling. Some have sentimental value so I’m building up the energy (physical and emotional) to go through them, decide what I want to keep & scan them to the computer. In the meantime the box is sitting there looking at me from next to my desk.

County Shawl is a slip stitch shawl design I created using McIntosh Donegal 4ply yarn & was published last September. It’s available exclusively from James McIntosh in kit form in these 3 gorgeous colourways. County Shawl is based on a half Pi with tweaks to increase placement near the edge!
