Well, here we are again. It’s been a monumentally hectic year, and I know for one I’ve no real idea how I’ve actually managed to do all the stuff that has happened in it! I also know that the 2 shows I’ve done this year have been monumental fun,inspiring and encouraging, and I’d like to stay on a roll and make Knitting & Stitching 2011 a really good experience for me as well!
So, the final preparations are going on to get all the yarn, fibres, bits, bobs & ourselves to Alexandra Palace again next week!
I’ll have about 60Kg of the finest Silk yarns & fibres as well as Surina Wood Knitting needles and printed copies of all our home brewed patterns with me on the slightly bigger Stand TGA13 in the top back corner of the Textile Galary.
I honestly have no wish to take any of it home again either! 😉
Now, if any of you have visited the site recently, you will have seen that the webshop’s broken.
I did a database “upgrade” at the beginning of the month and it right royally messed thing up! However, I’ve managed to get the database fixed to a stage where I can re-activate the shop software after I go through all the pictures attached to posts (That was the bit that really messed up!) & sort them out! That’s this evening’s job…
However, what I’ve got on the site is only about 1/2 of what I have in stock, given the drastic amounts of “other life” that has happened this summer (house renovations were pretty much completed & took up all my available free time getting it done), Fibres Exotica has been very much in “Tick over” mode. One of the things I just didn’t have time to do was photography & upload of the new stock. Apart from the time, getting the yarn out into the dust of knocked down walls, with tiling adhesive, paint & plaster everywhere isn’t good for it!
So, again, if you are coming to the show, that means you get to see the yummy yarn, needles & dye kits before the rest of the world does!
I look forward to seeing some of you there, in the Textile Gallery, Stand TGA13.
