Whilst the cats are away, the mice are...

... teaching 12 newbies to recognise their knitting from their purling.

It was a stunningly crisp and bright day at Toft Manor on Saturday, just perfect for a tour of the farm with the newest alpaca enthusiasts! Helen was a great help to Carrie, who would have needed wings to fly around the table of mild knitting catastrophes! Everyone managed at least one ball for their knitted necklace, but most of all we all had a really fun day!

The next intro to knitting workshop is set for 1st April, book your places soon!

Proving to be nothing but a good snack.

The final chance to buy Toft yarn without postage to France today. All patterns in French, and sone great SALE offers on a couple of old designs.

Already 'big' buttons are sold out, and the chunky yarn in dangerously low.

Next year we will be making limited edition buttons avec le nom de bois en francais for this show. One hundred if each size and when they go they're gone.

We will need quite the specialist dictionary for this one...or answers on a postcard!

And to prove we are working...

Once again big crowds for the speed knitting at Le Grande Halle (videos to follow).

Perhaps we should host our own competition in 2011...

Meanwhile plenty of couples getting 'valentined' in the city of love this evening.

A romantic day back on B3.5 planned for us ...the final day squeezing out long-forgotten verb declensions for another year.
