There are a lot of fantastic creative makers and designers who are frequent visitors to the Bothy Studio, and it has been such a pleasure to meet them all! One of the loveliest designers (aside form Di, of course!) I’ve met since I’ve been here is Dorothy Wood. She is truly a crafty renaissance woman – she designs and creates beautiful Art Cards, knitting patterns, and jewelry, has written loads of books and is regularly published in magazines.

She’ll be teaching another series of workshops at the Bothy this Fall…for more info click HERE

Here are some fabulous photos of some of her gorgeous designs…aren’t they lovely??

One of the most exciting events on the summer calender here at the Bothy is the upcoming UK Knit Camp event in Stirling, Scotland. This is the very first knitting event of its kind ever to happen in Scotland and it’s going to be amazing!! The event starts on Aug 9th and goes through to the weekend ending with the Knit Camp Party on Saturday night. Loads of classes (including several being taught by Di!), vendors, talks and general knitting awesomeness…what in the world could be better??

I’m SO excited to be attending the event with Di! I’ll get to assist her during her all-day class in Tuesday where she’ll be teaching us about Grading Knitwear Patterns. I can’t wait!

Then on Saturday Di’s teaching a class on Finishing Tricks at 8:30 am…bright and early!

We’ll also have a stand in the vendor area along with many other fantastic yarny artisans from all over. We’ll have loads of patterns, yarns and these incredible slat buttons that Di has made especially for her shop to purchase…Stop by and say hi – Di will be the fabulous designer lady, and I’ll be the girl with the funny accent! See you there.
