1: No art, crafty or design ,material shops to speak of.
2: Our only fabric shop closed early this year and all we have is one art shop and one little yarn shop
3: Mass cheap imports everywhere you go
4: People look at you funny if you try and sell your stuff at a decent price because its all handmade in the UK
5: Everyone pushes London as the bee all and and all of the universe but I'm not a big city girl I like to be able to breath
6: having to travel for an hour on the bus to buy a sewing needle.
So time for some Knit Graffiti I think. I know its been going on for ages in America and is getting around in this country but I've not heard anything in this area.
So plan of action.
1: I have a load of what I term *nasty* yarn, acrylic fuzzy stuff that I usually use to try out a rough idea before forking out on decent stuff and I'm planning next week to go into town with a load of knitted/crochet stuff and start decorating.
2: get some labels printed out on my printer just in case no one realises what it is.
3: Yarn Graffiti or RoseOak Studio. the first one would be fun but he second one would be shameless self promotion and I could do with a bit of that right now although I'm not sure I want to be that connected with DK 100% plastic survive nuclear blast neon yarn but needs must.
4: crochet flowers are a must as its summer but only only the month not by the weather
