Summary: Hello from behind a pile of fibre and washing here in the Cheshire Plain. Another bumper episode this week, with a report from the weekdays of the recent UK Knit Camp at Stirling in Scotland. Despite organisational problems and a lack of communication for day visitors, I had a brilliant time. I took classes with Jon Dunn of <a href="http://easyknits.co.uk/">EasyKnits</a>, <a href="http://www.lucyneatby.com/">Lucy Neatby</a>, Kate Tetlow and <a href="http://maryjanemucklestone.com/">Mary Jane Mucklestone</a>. <br> <br> Photos from Jon's spinning class... <br> <br> <br> ...and shots of my handspun taken in Mary Jane's class. <br> Animal, spun from batts from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/EverImprovingMe">EverImprovingMe</a> <br> Navajo-plied fibre from <a href="http://www.dtcrafts.co.uk/">DT Craft & Design</a> bought at Wonderwool Wales in April <br> I also have an overwhelming desire to make Lucy Neatby's <a href="http://www.patternfish.com/patterns/6221">Bubbles Scarf</a>. Luckily there's a knit-a-long for the pattern in September. <br> <br> There's also an interview with the designer of the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/knit-camp-vest">Knit Camp Vest</a>, <a href="http://www.annkingstone.com/">Ann Kingstone</a>. <br> <br> Finally, if you want to imagine me whirling <a href="http://www.knithappens.com/">Debbie Stoller</a>around the dance floor, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjAPkUXQjso&feature=player_embedded">this video</a>shows (sort of) what we were doing. <br> Music: Rondopolska by Barry Philips, from the album Tråd, available from <a href="http://magnatune.com/">Magnatune</a>. <br> <br> Feel free to leave a comment here or at <a href="http://www.yarnsfromtheplain.blogspot.com/">http://www.yarnsfromtheplain.blogspot.com/</a>, or email me at <a href="https://yarnsfromtheplain.podbean.com/mailto:yarnsfromtheplain@googlemail.com">yarnsfromtheplain@googlemail.com</a>. We have a Ravelry group <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/yarns-from-the-plain-podcast">here</a>, so come on over to chat.
