The winner of the giveaway from episode 43 is announced. A new giveaway has started over on Ravelry to win a cute Shaun the Sheep knitting kit.
Highland Wool Festival takes place at Dingwall Auction Mart on 23rd May 2015. Exhibitor list still to be announced but Helen of Ripplescrafts will be there. Highly recommend checking out her Assynt Storms yarns and pairing them with Clare Devine’s fab Slipt pattern.
