Crafternoon Tea

This Saturday you can find me at Crafternoon Tea (I love that name!)

in Kingsland. The market will run on the same day as the Kingsland Festival
so not only will you find loads of funky crafts – there will also be
live music, a kid’s zone and much more.

Saturday 9 April, 2–6pm.

To market!

I have worked frantically the past week to get ready for

Devonport Craft Market tomorrow.
And, phew, I’m finally done!

Yummy, soft hand-dyed merino wool on skeins

Some more merino beanies

Lots of shades of hand-dyed cotton yarn

And some new cotton beanies

I have created postcards of the Hearts for Canterbury outdoor installation.
All proceeds for the postcards will be donated to the Red Cross Canterbury
Appeal so please come along and buy some cards to show your support!

Hand-dyed merino

I’ve been very busy lately, working on lots of new goodies for the winter season.

And not just knitted stuff, oh no, I will bring new yarns to the markets!
I have started dyeing super soft 8ply merino, beautiful to knit.

These are the colours I will bring to Devonport Craft Market, next Sunday.

I have a new range of beanies as well, knitted from the gorgeous merino.
Here are some samples.

I have dyed some cotton yarn in new colours.

And I have learned a lesson – even if it’s tempting to speed up the process,
never, EVER, wash the cotton yarn in the washing machine...

Lucky Wellingtonians

Tomorrow a brand new yarn shop will open up its doors in Wellington
- Holland Road Yarn Company. It’s the very clever Tash from Knitsh
who is the owner and she has promised a shop like nothing else.
Lots of hand-dyed yarn and she will stock my hand-dyed cotton yarn!
So, you lucky Wellingtonians, check it out.

I sold some love

Today I sold ‘Aroha’.
It’s a bit sad that it’s gone but it went to a good home,
so I’m happy about that.

(Aroha = love in maori)

Exciting!

Auckland Art & Craft Fair is on this Saturday and it’s going
to be so much fun! I will bring beaded cuffs (long and a new short version),
golden skulls, flower necklaces, Hello Kitty and lots of other goodies.

Don’t miss this fair, there will be an amazing bunch of crafters, designers
and artists showing and selling their products.

First Thursdays

First Thursdays is back tomorrow, Thursday 2nd of December.
A unique evening of art, craft, spoken word, live performances
and music. And I will be there with bead-knitted cuffs,
golden skulls, Hello Kitty and much more.

Come around, it’ll be fun!
