In a break from tradition, we are having the do at the shop because rather than a formal talk, Amy will be mingling and chatting and signing books instead. So we have a very limited number of tickets on sale for £3.50. This gets you in to the best party in town (!) plus a little goody bag of Amy’s yarn to try and endless wine and nibbles plus we will be offering discounts on all of Amy’s products for the evening. Please ring the shop on 01684 892079 to purchase a ticket or just call in to buy one. It will be entry by ticket only because of the space limitations.

In fact, the winner will be randomly chosen so it’s not really a contest.

Pat and I recently went to Florida on a big family holiday and needless to say we took our knitting.

I didn’t actually take knitting to Disneyland, just the bag. I’m not that bad!

Email us a picture of you knitting on holiday and we will enter you into our draw to win some yummy yarn. It will be drawn on 31st August. Email to shop at theknittingparlour.co.uk  with holiday knitting as the subject. We will put the best pics on the blog. Good luck!
