Designer Alley is back with the very lovely Anna Dalvi of www.knitandknag.com KnitandKnag on Ravelry and Twitter and Facebook. I was fortunate to review her Ancient Egypt in Lace and Colour book from Cooperative Press. You can buy this through them or Ravelry. If you like lace and Ancient Egypt then this is the book for you. I explain why I'm thankful this episode and remind you to enter the Competition by sending a wee message to me anyway you want although if you are sending a message in a bottle it might not get here by 30 November 2012. The Scottish Segment describes and explains the geography of Caithness and I whisk you around the county. The Handmade Christmas Decoration and hand written letter swap needs to be sent out by 5 December 2012. I have a Me Me Me and a Mum Mum Mum section but no Drams this episode. I have just realised I meant to mention The Calender of Hope 2013 to raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer. Please go to www.fitterknitter.com for your calender. The Fish and Chips babies jumper pattern and information of where to post it to is from http://www.knit-a-square.com/postal.html and the pattern is also on Ravelry Sponsored by my own business www.energyhunt.com Contact me on caithnesscraftcollective@gmail.com LouiseHunt on Ravelry, Stitchin Fingers and CaithnessCraft on Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram
