Winter Contemporary Textiles Exhibition

Hi there, I thought I'd share some exciting news with all you lovely readers!

My work has been selected to be included in the Winter Contemporary Textiles Exhibition at the New Ashgate Gallery in Farnham, Surrey - a gallery specialising in Contemporary Fine Art & Craft.


The exhibition will run from Friday 19th November 2010 (Private View) until Saturday 22nd January 2011.

Happy Knitting Week!

Hurrah! It's National Knitting Week here in the UK - a chance to celebrate all that is fibrey and fabulous. It also feels like the perfect point in the year to start thinking about new knitting projects and doing a little bit of rummaging through The (ever-growing - well at least in my case) Stash. With that in mind, here are some lovely things to get those creative juices flowing!

These tags have a fun graphic knitting print on them - perfect for labelling your handiwork. Tags and 'I'm a Knitter' card above both by Tea and Ceremony.


I really like this pattern by Claire Crompton for a bag knitted on the bias, what a beautiful and useful way to use up leftover scraps of yarn.

For those who like a little side serving of sewing with their knitting, how about this?



Lovely vibrant print of some rather funky knitting needles from Stitch Me Lane Fabrics. Happy Knitting! :)

Magpie Markets!

This autumn/winter sees a return of the always fabulous Magpie Market, on the second Sunday of each month from now until Christmas. Oh, and did I mention you can pick up WildCat Designs/WildKittens creations (and other goodies) there? ;)

Free goody bags for the first 50 early birds through the doors on the day. Come see all the awesome things: illustration, art, design, craft, jewellery and vintage. (Perfect for getting gifts sorted.)

The first is this Sunday, 10th October from 12 noon til 5pm at The Lot in Edinburgh's Grassmarket - hope see you there!
