I’ve been quiet for the last 10 days as I’ve been on holiday in Sarasota, Florida with my family.  I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a holiday this much before! We’re not doing anything…beach and pool every day and lots of barbeques, but it’s so relaxing. I think it feels so good because this has been a crazy year. Knitwear design started slowly but this year was full on hard work. It’s all fun but there is just lots to do. These days my ‘to-do’ list and my ‘waiting in the wings’ list are both equally long…a good sign but busy!

So thanks to this holiday computer work has taken a back seat. I finished writing up several designs before I traveled so that all I have to do while I was away was knit :-)

I do however get to do the fun stuff, like visiting yarn stores. Sarasota has a great yarn store, A Good Yarn. Every year that I come here this shop has expanded. This year they’ve added a whole extra needlepoint room. Last week I dropped off all my samples from Among Stones plus a few extra. If you want to get your book signed or maybe to talk about yarn choices come along to the store next Saturday, 17th of August from 1-4 and I’ll be there.

Let me know if you’re living close by and can come on Saturday, I’m looking forward to it!
