It's a shame her book won't be out - would have been nice to get a signed copy! I must pre-order it now. Been looking at it.

As of yesterday there were three places left on the Sunday workshop, which runs between 11:00 and 6:00 just in case anyone was interested.
I am getting nicely excited now - two more sleeps, one of which will be in London

Workshop weekend has been wonderful from start to finish.
I left first thing Friday morning and met Franney at lunchtime we had a long picnic lunch in the Victoria Embankment Gardens before going to I Knit. My experience in the shop this time was very different to the last one and I am very pleased I went back.
I had a lovely evening out with my son on Friday, and stayed overnight. Travelling to the workshop on Saturday was great because I was picked up by someone I met on the Lucy Neatby workshop who lives very close to Robert. Door to door service - wonderful 
Yesterday's workshop was all I could have asked for and more. Good company ( thank you Sharon ) and with a relaxed and informal manner which was very conducive to learning. I learned a very great deal, and feel much more confident about not only what I can do but also what i might achieve in the future. Cookie A is a lovely person as well as a great talent, and her obvious pleasure in what she does was evident in all she did yesterday.
I forgot to take photos so it's a good job Alice did.
I am thinking of renaming my blog

That sounds lovely!  What a great piccie! I think Cookie should have called her book 'Joy of Sox'! Did you meet my friend from my knitting group, Hayley?

I had a bookplate signed to stick in my book.
I omitted to say that there was a copy of her book there and it is fab-u-lous.
