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 :)

Yarn Mountain!

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, Have A Go At 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.

the low down.

i heart...


being a busy bee.


& oooft is that something we've been over the last wee while! so here's the low down on what we've been up to:

we've been frantically making handmade bits as this sunday we'll be hopping on the bus down to glasgow & will have ourselves a lovely stall at Granny Would Be Proud in Hillhead Bookclub once again. come along & say hello!

we've been fighting crime against css & html to get our online eco-shop looking beautiful ready for it's launch on the 30th april. i've also been fighting the urge to keep all the new eco-tastic stock for myself!

i've also decided to separate my own work from i heart... & have it simply under my own name - Iona Bruce. i've made a wee facebook page & will add new bits to it after all this mayhem dies down a bit! but it would be lovely if you could pop over & 'like' my page. 

we've also been busy preparing for the next Meet & Make session on the 1st may. if you would like to book a place send us an e-mail on hello@iheartdotdotdot.co.uk

we've also been busy organising an event for Voluntary Arts Week, more will be revealed soon but get your knitting needles ready! & if anyone knows of any yarn businesses that would be up for donating some yarn to a good cause, please do get in touch.

and of course we've been over-seeing our projects Post A Patch & Music To My Ears.

please do keep your patches & tunes coming!

so there you go, we're busy but there's plenty for you to get involved & busy with to, get to it!

xox.
