I have been interested in knitting for as long as I can remember but have always enjoyed creating things and experimenting with traditional handicrafts. Welcome to behind the scenes at High Fibre… it would be lovely to hear from you!vantechhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01068358025648861694noreply@blogger.comBlogger7125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537795087449539019.post-73154980055255694052010-09-24T06:52:00.000-07:002010-09-24T07:38:59.622-07:00

Keeping with the vintage theme, here’s my favourite accessory of the moment, my lovely retro inspired badge.It never fails to get a comment and so for everyone who has admired it I’m only too happy to reveal the source….. it came from acorn & will who also exhibited at the Pick 'n' Mix Makers Market back in May. Their stand was full of quirky vintage bits and bobs and pretty accessories.The next

Last Friday I took High Fibre on the road and travelled to London to take part in the I Knit Weekender. Despite a very early start (3.30 am anyone?... long hours, lots of coffee... ) it was great to be 'front of house' for a change.Thanks to everyone who came along and made it a success and also for all the lovely feedback about High Fibre....The colourful stand next to me belonged to Jayne from

Caravans…love them or loathe them? This is no ordinary caravan…this is the ARTIVAN! It has been parked here for the last couple of days and has been a colourful sight from my studio window. Our neighbour, Jo Chapman, was commissioned to decorate the outside. She often employs cutting techniques in her work as a visual artist and has cleverly used panels of vinyl to create a fabulous

This is the largest knitter run event in the world and was started by Danielle Landes in 2005. The idea was to show true community spirit by encouraging normally solitary knitters out into the open to have fun and celebrate their fabulous knitting skills together. It started with just 25 events taking place, growing to almost 751 around the globe last year.I love their statement 'Better living

Long time since my last post for sure!.....Where has the time gone? I have though been very busy and creative behind the scenes, in particular getting new patterns ready to put on the site and adding a few more things to the shop.I've also been preparing for the long awaited Pick 'n' Mix event in Holt in two weekends time. Not long to go....I haven't taken part before but I'm really looking

Great start to the New Year... new web, new blog....This first post is a little late but it was lovely to see our our striped cushion featured with lots of other cosy knits to make in the Country Homes and Interiors Magazine. It is a nice easy project to try, even the buttons are made from the yarn and it works well in so many other colour combinations. If you missed the February issue the
