Sorry, have been very busy of late, haven't been able to do much updates. Will update ASAP!

Any idea why? It seemed like such a great event.

Hi there,
I found your blog a while ago and was really delighted to see this kind of resource in Ireland for all textiles, it’s really good.
I have just set up an organic clothing company in Ireland, our clothing and fabrics are 100% organic cotton and are naturally dyed using plants from Ayurveda. Our full range of products will be available online by the end of Feb. It would be great if you could check us out, our website is www.ayuvastra.ie Thanks a million.

As sad as I may feel about losing the record only 2 years after we set it at the Sock Summit 2009 in POrtland, Oregon, I am so pleased that it was done. As one of the Sock SUmmit folks said (Tina Newton) "A knittlerly applause" for all those involved. So well done, knitting friends from Portland, Oregon, USA

Although the Western Branch of the IPS exhibition closed early at the Galway City Museum due to renovations, you can still see some photos of the event at www.westernips.blogspot.com. A selection will go on to the National exhibition at the Botanic Gardens in July. Another event to attend for textile enthusiasts!

I got to the festival on Sunday....and my 9yr old son was hoping to be part of this world record, having learned to knit at school last year. But we arrived a day too late! Well done anyway to those involved. It was a nice festival to visit, we enjoyed a family day out.

What a fantastic night. Veronica gave a very interesting and entertaining talk on the story of lace in Ireland, and there were so many beautiful pieces and techniques on display. Many thanks to the Arts Office and Galway Crochet Craft for putting on such a great evening. :)
