As the year draws to a close, so too does the Yarn Forward project. Well, that is, we think it does. The beautiful covering consisting of knitted contributions from all over the world has astoundingly stretched its way around over three quarters of the first floor banister rail at Manchester Craft and Design Centre. Yarn Forward into 2010? It is with abundant gratitude that we thank every contributor for their superb submissions.

Just a few snaps of some recently acquired charity shop gold. Sunday, 16 May 2010.

A trip round the East End. Tutors and staff were shuffling papers and generally gearing up for a bunch of new students. The University of East London. Was certainly in a fevered state on Friday as it was a staff training day and there were busy groups of tutors and librarians having fun trying out new skills. Forget about paint-balling or brain-storming. Just learn to crochet for your training days! Links to this post.
