Well after a 7.5 hr drive, and a stand construction and set up at East Neuk Knits Festival, we both forgot to take a final picture of the stand yesterday, but fortunately another vendor did and sent me a copy - thank you Woolly Brew!

The hall at Bowhouse near St Monans is looking great and we're looking forward to seeing everyone today.

Open 10 to 5 if you're in the area.

Ornamental Cabbage has intricate rosettes of ruffled leaves in pink, purple, cream, and green. This colourway mirrors the delicate crinkles as pretty speckles and preserves the delightful colours as yarn.

If you’re in BF/CM mode and looking for deals then you get a free skein of undyed Snowdrop with every Twelve Days of Christmas miniskein set over the weekend. Enjoy! mothyandthesquid.com

Part One of Barragán Shawl is in the current issue (194) of The Knitter Magazine - are you joining in with the KAL?

I’d love to see your versions of the shawl - tag them with #BarragánKAL or when you share them.

I’m knitting 10 rows a day on mine at the moment, using the gorgeous hand-dyed BFL 4ply from McIntosh. My five days’ progress is in the pics.

You can get the yarn kit (2 x 150g/600m) too if you want to! (Affiliate link in bio).

NOTE: I quoted a report from an executive of DuckDuckGo attending the antitrust lawsuit against Google. This article has now been retracted from Wired:

"After careful review of the op-ed, "How Google Alters Search Queries to Get at Your Wallet," and relevant material provided to us following its publication, WIRED editorial leadership has determined that the story does not meet our editorial standards. It has been removed."

I hope we'll learn more about what Google actually does, since September 28, the court established a process allowing the Justice Department to publish more information about this case.

I've mentioned the Artisans Coop (https://artisans.coop/) before, but it's time to remind folks. This is a neat new by-the-artists, for-the-artists cooperative -- sort of like Etsy, but with a much healthier business model.

And it's almost time! The official launch day is imminent (October 2). Check it out, spread the word, and if you're an artist yourself, consider this as a better place to sell your stuff! Follow at @coopartisans
