1. Wovember - On Your Marks

   Posted on 12:00pm Monday 31st Oct 2016

   It’s the 31st of October.

   

   Eve of Winter.

   

   Halloween.

   

   Hop-tu-Naa.

   

   Samhain or Beltane, depending on which hemisphere you’re in.

   It’s the day we post out the last of the 2016 clubs, and take a moment to reflect on what feels like a job well done.

   Great notes on which to say goodbye to October.

   Then it’s on to November – and Wovember.

   

   Wovember is a celebration of all things woolly – and so, so much more. It’s about the politics of wool. The stuff that makes our yarn loving hearts sing. The stuff that makes our yarn loving blood boil with frustration.

   There are lots of ways to get involved, and you’ll find everything you need to know in this introduction to Wovember.

2. Leave Me Alone!

   Posted on 12:00pm Wednesday 19th Oct 2016

   I have to thank the lovely Robynn for this book, as when I saw it on her instagram feed I was intrigued.

   

   Leave Me Alone! is an epic tale about one grandmother, a giant sack of yarn, and her quest to finish her knitting.

   It’s utterly charming.

   It makes me long for a wormhole or two.
