Today I should have been setting up my stand at The Wool Monty yarn festival for a weekend of yarny fun. As we are still managing the pandemic and big festivals are not yet happening (hopefully soon!), the Monty at Home online festival is happening instead.
The Wool Monty team have organised lots of online events, Instagram live chats and exclusive discounts and show specials with the exhibitors. They have listed all the show specials and discounts, along with the exhibitors on the Monty At Home section of their website.
I will be on Instagram on Saturday 12th June at 2pm, then joining the Wool Monty team for a chat on Sunday 13th June at 12pm. There is also a special discount for the weekend. My website store, Payhip and Ravelry pattern stores have 10% off all weekend using the code WoolMonty2021.
It looks like it will be a lovely weekend with lots happening. I am really looking forward to next year thought when the festival will be taking place in person and we can all gather and be surrounded by gorgeous yarns and lovely friends.
Since I am not setting up my stand, I have been fortunate to have a few relaxing days away on the Herefordshire/Monmouthshire border in beautiful countryside and sunny weather. The cottage where I am staying has a lovely little sun trap garden where I have been sitting and knitting on my Pride version of my Isolabella pattern and drinking fresh mint tea. I picked up this skein on a work trip to Toronto (I always pick up a skein of yarn on my travels as a souvenir). The gradient pattern will work very well with the Isolabella short row shaping and create an amazing rainbow.
Have a lovely weekend everyone and I hope to see you at Monty At Home.
