British Wool Week 14-20 October 2013

Debbie Bliss British wool

Calling all Brits to get your knit on – Wool Week week kicks of today.

In London and Edinburgh, John Lewis is getting into the knitting spirit in a big way with Knit Nation events all week.

There are events and free classes happening all week with Erika Knight, Rowan, Milla Mia among others so go check it out if you’re in the area.

And next weekend, up north, is another knitterly event The Glasgow School of Yarn and I’m very excited as I’m heading up there to attend! There are classes with Amy Singer and Liz Lovick as well as talks with Deb Ronson. Not to mention lots of tempting vendors in the market place. If you see me please say hello. I’ll be the one muttering “yarn diet, yarn diet” over and over to myself.
