After another exceptionally busy week at Toft Towers a very exciting thing happened this Friday. The roof of our new building started to go up! We're sure that Rob would have a suitable poetic observation about this event, but being as we are so overcome with excitement that it might just be finished within a few months you'll just have to settle for a few pics, including a beautiful double rainbow from a few weeks ago instead.

In other news, Kerry has nearly sold out of pattern books & lots of yarn colours at a packed Dublin K&S show (no fear we can ship any orders!). Carrie's felt advent workshop was a huge success and everyone left with about 3 perfectly formed felt booties (just another 22 to go ladies!).

We're now looking forward to a short hiatus, then it's Harrogate here we come!

We're getting a roof!

Another exceptionally busy week at Toft Towers has seen Kerry & Carrie return from NEC & Olympia, Kerry head off to Dublin on the slow boat -

Boy have we been busy! Here's what you missed...

Since we last checked in we've been putting it about a bit.  Following a great week north of the border we headed straight down to London to Spirit of Christmas at Olympia.  We had a great week trading and are now urgently knitting up replacement stock as many lines sold out!  Meanwhile we also had a team at the NEC Hobbycraft show in Birmingham where we also caused quite a fuss and sold dozens of pattern books and tonnes of yarn.

We are now preparing to head over the Irish Sea to the RDS Dublin where we will be at the Knitting and Stitching Show from Thursday through to Sunday.

And PS... we have been in all these magazines this month (plus check us out in this photo montage from The Observer http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/interactive/2011/nov/06/alpaca-farming-wool?fb=native !!)
