The Knit Love Club ballot is open for another 5 days (and counting). For the last 5 days there is also a wee chance to win a year’s membership on Twitter – tweet why you love socks and tag it with hashtag #knitloveclub. To double your chances of making the club, make sure you’re in the ballot too.
Am super looking forward to Friday – the shop is closed for the day in honour of Iknit weekender. I’m taking a superspeedyfast knitting class with Miriam Tegels the fastest knitter in the world – 118 stitches per minute! Can’t wait. We’re having a Norfolk reunion and a meet up with far flung friends. (*waves* hi Sandy!!)
Then on Sunday we’ve got Old Maiden Aunt at the shop from 12 with her trunk show of amazing lovely yarns. Should be a fabulous weekend.
Plans for Knit Nation are also going wonderfully well – we’re tweeting choice tidbits via www.twitter.com/knitnation every few days, so follow us for the inside scoop! 
Official url is www.knitnation.co.uk which at the moment has just basic info. We’ll be launching the official site in October so put us on your feed list if you want to be front row centre when we ‘cut the ribbon’.
