Knit, Have A Go At It! fun.

i heart...

teaching people how to knit.

And that's what yesterday was spent doing. I had a great time showing some lovely people how to knit patches, having a good chat & stuffing my face with amazing chocolate mousse cake!

A massive thanks to Voluntary Arts Week, The Life Craft for having us, Rowan, Designer Yarns & Anne Ferguson for donating yarn & of course all you lovely people that came along - was really great to meet you all.

Post a Patch is an ongoing project, so we are always looking for more patches to make into blankets for our selected charities - Starter Packs Glasgow & So Go And Run Free.

Here's some tips to get you on your way...

AND we have a looooads of yarn left, so if you'd like to knit a patch, e-mail us on hello@iheartdotdotdot.co.uk with your address & we'll send some your way :)

A quick post just to say thank you so much to Rowan & Designer Yarns for donating yarn for our Knit, Have a Go At It event. Look at all the lovely yarn they so generously sent to us...

That's one big yarn mountain, with over 70 balls of wool in it! Come get your knit on with this lovely yarn a week on Sunday...

Knit crazy.

I've gone a bit knit crazy recently. Knitting bunting, knitting owlets, knitting patches. It's been rather hard prying those knitting needles out of my hands. Want in on the knitting fever? Come to this a week tomorrow...

We've organised the event as part of Voluntary Arts Week & we've had some very generous yarn donations from individuals as well as yarn companies - Rowan & Designer yarns. So come along for some free knitting lessons, to knit some patches for Post a Patch & have some scrumptious cake at The Life Craft. More info here.

If you can't get to Glasgow on the 8th, then don't you worry. You can still get those knitting needles clicking by making a square for Post a Patch & sending it in the post to us! More info here.

And to complete the knit-a-thon is this week's favourite friday...

Thank you so much to everyone that has sent us patches so far, however we still need lots & lots more, so keep them coming! More info on how to get involved here.

And if you're reading this thinking 'Gosh darn it, I'd love to help out these amazing charities, but I can't knit' then do not fret! Come along to this...

... 8th of May, The Life Craft, 12pm - 5pm. I'll be there giving FREE knitting lessons & encouraging everyone to knit some patches for Post A Patch. Do it!

So as part of Voluntary Arts Week 2011, we've organised a special event at The Life Craft on the 8th May...

So no more will you have an excuse not to knit, because now's your chance to have a go at it! We'll be there from 12pm - 5pm to help you brush up on your crafty skills with FREE drop-in knitting workshops.

Can already knit? Come along & join in with the beginners & their newly found knitting prowess to make squares for the Post A Patch project. Our current community project which donates handmade patchwork blankets to charities - Starter Packs Glasgow and So Go & Run Free.

With your hands likely to be all a-flurry with knitting needles and crafty inspiration, you will be able to take a break and relax with The Life Craft's scrumptious selection of coffees and cakes & have a good old natter too.

So, you get to learn how to knit for free AND help two amazing charities, what more could you ask for!

xox.

p.s. We're looking for yarn companies that would be generous enough to donate some yarn for this event, if you know of anyone that would be up for this, please e-mail hello@iheartdotdotdot.co.uk

Thank you.
