Knitting Under the Willow Tree Day at the Natural Dye Studio

knitters enjoying being under the willow tree

Jan and I (Teresa) enjoyed a lovely Knitting Under the Willow Tree Day at The Natural Dye Studio in August. There are lots of lovely photo's here on Jojo's Ravelry page. There was a barbeque and a knitted sheep show and tell and lots of knitting and nattering. Amanda who runs The Natural Dye Studio gave a quick tour of her dye workroom and we were able to buy wool and patterns from the shop. Amanda uses natural dyes for her yarns and the colours are very pretty. The studio can be found in Hollesley near Woodbridge in Suffolk and if you click on the link above you will be able to find more details and buy online. The Natural Dye Studio will also be at the IKnit Weekend on Friday 10 and Saturday 11 September.
I had a lot of fun knitting a pair of sheep in Rowan Purelife British Sheep Wool DK - here's how they turned out:


Hopefully there will be another Knitting under the Willow Tree day next August and for those of you who have had withdrawal symptoms with their being no Knit and Natter at Growing Together that month it would help fill the gap!
