Market News

This time of year always means fantastic craft markets - lovely sellers selling lovely stuff.  This year is certainly no different and a little bit of shameless craft market promotion, the first of which is a lovely local to home market in Crouch End, Jolly Hobbies Market.

Really looking forward to this market on Saturday, 19 November - it's lovely and close to home and it's my first market in a while.
The second market is an old-time favourite - the Of Cabbages Market down in Stokey - again, close to home and always has lovely sellers.  In fact, this market is a little bit of a sentimental one for me as it was the first craft market I ever did in London. 

We'll be down there on Saturday, 3 December.
If you're in London, hopefully I'll see you at either of them.

upcoming events : tea and make

i'm excited and terrified in equal measure about this.  the excited bit is that strikk is taking part in this year's fabulous tea and make pop up shop from saturday 27 november to saturday 11 december at 3 lewisham way SE14 6PP.

i'm terrified because i've never taken part in a pop up shop before and there is much knitting to be done.  at the moment strikk hq looks a bit upside down - needles and wool everywhere (yip, we're off to muji this weekend to get trendy wendy storage containers to contain the wool spillage).

but in light of the terror, i'm very honoured to be among some fabulous sellers - each seller is currently being featured on the tea and make blog here (ahem - and strikk is there already)!

as a bit of background info, tea and make was established in 2009 by stylist Sally Curtis and artist Esther Yarnold in order to manage events celebrating regionally-made products and creative businesses.  Sally and Esther met in 2007 through their mutual love of bunnies, greyhounds and all things beautiful!

upcoming events

just getting the word out this morning - we'll be doing the craftwerk fair again this year on saturday, 1 august.

if you are in the area, please pop down and say "hello" and have a glass of wine (hey, this is the best venue for a craft market - there's a bar at the end of the hall and a huge glitter ball over the stage!).
