I would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Have you, like me, been busy making lots of festive makes and Christmas gifts and now are looking forward to making something for yourself? I have been busy making gnomes, robins and snowflakes and am now thinking of casting on a Tin Can Knits Antler cardigan in my Woolly Chic Pembrokeshire DK wool!

Crochet a Gnome 
If you fancy making any of these projects over Christmas or need a last minute present for a friend who knits or crochets, there is still time to buy a Woolly Chic crochet or knitting kit. The last posting date is this Friday (20th December) for post to UK addresses.
2019 has been filled with lots of lovely memories and the highlights definitely include Wonderwool Wales, Yarndale and the Made In Hitchin creative retreat. I have enjoyed meeting and teaching so many fantastic people and am excited that there will be lots more workshops, craft nights and crochet groups planned next year. See dates below:
