Craft/ Knit Social Tonight

Where: Mecca Cafe, Devonport

When: Monday 9th August - Tonight!

Time: 7pm - 9pm

Hope you can make it.   Feel free to bring a friend. 

Beginner Knitter Suggestion - a scarf is a great way to start - your wool shop should be able to advise you on what wool and needles you need.  We can show you how to cast on and start knitting on Monday. 

For free patterns - view this site (Ravelry) that Carolyn has recommended. 

You do need to sign in and create an account - this may take a few days to confirm - but it's free to join and has an amazing repertoire of free patterns.

Thank you so much to all the lovely customers who braved the weather and came shopping. It was great to see new customers in amongst our regulars.

And we had an extra special visitor. Jesse came visiting with his autism assistance dog, Dylan. We were thrilled to be able to help with the fundraising needed to buy an assistance dog for Jesse last year. Unfortunately, Jesse's first dog, Doug, didn't work out but the new dog, Dylan has settled right in and is working out a treat. You can read about Jesse and his family's story here.

The applications for the 5th September (Father's Day) market are now open. Pop on up to the Sellers information section if you want to apply for a stall.
