Knit Club.....

Fridays are my most  absolute favourite day ...knitting club x

Heres where the magic happens....

Follow the knitted bunting....

To the handcrafted open sign and step inside, into another world.

I am not a knitter but teaching myself to crochet, a very slow and painful process, and I have always crafted alone.....suddenly I was in a room full of inspirational and talented people.

As well as helpful advice, and guidance there is a table full of wonderful handmade treasures that anyone can use to sell things.... 

 

 I drool over the bits every week and wish I had far more pennies to spend than i do.

The hosts welcome everyone with open arms and strive very hard to make it a wonderful experience every week.......

 I of course love all the vintage china tea cups.....

and the homemade cakes........

As well as the clatter of needles, and the laughter and the chatter and the swapping of ideas and the show and tells and the oohs and ahhs as people show off  patterns and wools and finished items....its wonderful and I am so glad I found Knit Club x x

The Travelling Woolberries Knit Cafe  meets at the Untarian old meeting church Sidmouth , every Friday 10am- 12 mid-day, just pop along and poke your head around the door and find a very warm welcome.

Catch Up or How I have been a lazy blogger

Have been very of the "who would be interested in me " frame of mind and neglecting my blog...so here is a catch up in pictures of Christmas, New Year and the rest, in a glorious muddle of  jingle bells and embroidery makes and projects and learning to crochet....I will try to be a good blogger from now on...if any one out there is even mildly interested that is.....

An autumn afternoon

 I love autumn its my favourite season the crisp rustle of the leaves beneath your wellies.

 The autumn light that twinkles through the trees

 The smell of the leaves and the hint of cold even on a sunny afternoon walk along the river

 Across the ford............

 Then down to the sea.

 A beautiful Autumn walk along the beach under a huge blue sky

 Then back home to lamps and throws as the evening draw in.....

And of course tea...which cup to choose?

Enjoy the season x
