The Woolly Tap Hookers
Oh boy it’s been a hot month and with so many hookers now we decided it would be far too hot for everyone in the shop so we decided to host our Friday morning at the historic Marsden tenterposts.
The lovely ladies had their Ta-Dah moment with their Yarndale chains, which went off in the post for the forthcoming festival in September. Let’s hope we can find them when we attend.
Workshops
During August we held a Beginners Mosaic Crochet Workshop hosted by the talented Jan from @colnevalleycrochet.
A lovely time was had by all. See the beautiful mosaic blanket kit that was for sale following the workshop. I think they may still be a couple of packs left.
We have got some great crafting workshops for you and your friends at The Woolly Tap in September and October:
Thursday 15th Sept 7-9pm. For the first time we are offering a Learn to Knit class for complete beginners. Taught by Debby Lomas.

Finished WIPs
First off my hook this month was my finished @attic24 Summertime Tins. There was so much yarn left over I managed to completed 4 lovely matching coasters and I start a WIP which is a giant Flora Tin (pics soon)
Any other News
During August it was great to see so many Granny Squares all around the world for World Wide Granny Square Day 2022. It was breathtaking seeing all the virtual blankets
Here’s some fab pics
This was our contribution to the day. Four coasters made from my left over yarn from my summertime tins. The pattern is called ‘Flora Granny Square’ and can be found on the Attic24 blog page.
