Summary: <br> Hello from a blooming Cheshire Plain! This episode I share a little industrial heritage, show my maths geek credentials and ponder travel plans. <br> <br> Review: Patricia Ackroyd's talk at the Cheshire WSD Guild meeting last week and the <a href="http://knitsister-madaboutyarn.blogspot.com/">Heike Gittins</a> workshop at <a href="http://www.fibreandclay.co.uk/">Fibre and Clay</a>. <br> Heike <br> Some of the other course delegates <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> What's on my wheel and needles: The <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/picperfic">Picperfec</a> fibre continues apace, I think it's time to "swatch ply" to see how thick the finished yarn will be. The sock yarn blanket is also growing nicely and this weekend I've completed a Moebius (Möbius?) cowl in Rowan Felted Tweed and Rowan Kidsilk Haze at the worshop. Something I really like: Making travel plans! Any suggestions for the South Western states of the USA? <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Upcoming Events: Wonderwool Wales at Builth Wells, Powys, 9th and 10th April; <a href="http://www.woolfest.co.uk/">Woolfest</a> in Cockermouth, Cumbria, 24th and 25th June; <a href="http://www.knitnation.co.uk/">Knit Nation</a> in London, 15th-17th July; a range of workshops at <a href="http://www.fibreandclay.co.uk/">Fibre and Clay</a>, including another Moebius Knitting workshop on 17th September and Tunisian Crochet on 10th September and 15th October. <br> I haven't as yet started one, but if you're interested in knitting or crocheting a bear for the Mother Bear Project, details can be found <a href="http://www.motherbearproject.org/">here</a>.
