Latest news of shows,and what's new
Happy New Year!
Before I give you the newsy bit I would like to say a huge THANKYOU to you all for your continued support of my work. Your enthusiasm and purchases whether from stock or ordered has allowed me to continue my passion for designing and making individual knitwear.
It is 23 years since I started in business and this would not have happened without you.
It is already February and my three months at home over the Winter are disapearing fast!I just wish the snow had gone as fast- beautiful at first,great to be snowed in but then it starts getting in the way of doing things so it is great to see some signs of Spring outside.
I always take this Winter hibernation to catch up on life at home, sort my workroom( which is a tip!),collect my ideas together for new designs and start graphing out,sketching and knitting test pieces and source yarns ready for the new collection to show you.
Over the next couple of weeks I hope to update all my website so please keep popping back.
SHOWS
I have starting booking the shows for 2010 and am still waiting for some confirmations. As shows are confirmed they will be added to my shows 2010 page.
I will probably be attending a fewer shows than in 2009.I found the 18 I did last year a little too much especially towards Christmas when they all seem to come together and I must get promised orders out for the 25th December.
I am sorry if there are some shows missing from the calender that you like to visit but I have tried to plan it so there are 2 shows i each area I visit within the year.
NEW SHOWS for 2010.
RHS WISLEY 15th-18th April Contemporary Craft & Design Fair
I have visited Wisley many times for the Christmas crafts show organised by Rural Crafts Asssociation and I know it is a venue many of you enjoy visiting .
This event is being organised by CRAFT iIN FOCUS( who organise shows at Fawley Court, Crowthorne,Guildford Spectrum).
It is being held within the gardens of RHS Wisley which are spectacular in their own right.
The show will be showing the very best of Contemporary Craft and Design in the UK in this garden setting.
The gardens and show entrance is free to all RHS members.
If you are not a member- admission to the show is included in the normal cost of entry to the gardens.
HOWEVER IF YOU WOULD LIKE 2 FOR THE PRICE OF ONE TICKETS FOR THIS EVENT PLEASE EMAIL-
INFO@CRAFTINFOCUS.COM
THIS OFFER IS ONLY AVAILABLE UNTIL 28th FEBRUARY.
Unfortunately I will not have any of these tickets to send out in my mailings for the show so if you would like one PLEASE get in touch with Craft in Focus NOW.
This will be one of the best shows this year and an event not to be missed!
The show at Guildford Spectrum will not be held in 2010.
PHOTOS of SCARVES
This has been a lot harder task than I imagined! Even the professional photographer helping me was amazed at how difficult it is to get accurate colour representations of fabric.
I am hoping to get new photos on my website during February.
I hope to see you at one if not more of the shows in 2010 and in the meantime I hope you have a happy and healthy 2010.
with my best wishes
Elaine
