Hello October

I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers ~ Anne of Green Gables

I’m back trading as a stall vendor at our first Libertine Market Crawl, today (1st October) . It’s The Murphy Leaf’s first time to leave the comforts of D12 and into the buzz of The Liberties. Exciting times as I launch a collection of handspun yarn at the Market.

The Autumn In-Vest KAL wraps up this week and I’m only partway on the Aldwych Vest.

After the huge success and soldout event of the SnB at the IFI Café Bar, I wish to  announce that the opportunity has arisen to have a monthly social at the IFI Café Bar and I’ve seized this opportunity to make it our regular city centre venue for the forseeable future.

Most importantly is that we have exclusive use of the mezzanine. So, the next social will be in celebration of Samháin on Saturday 28 October, 1230pm to 4pm.

It will be a ticketed event going forward as the feedback I have received is that people like the  idea of food being provided.  To be clear, there is no profit to me. I simply charge what it costs for the food  and gratitiuty. I will try to keep it as reasonable as possible. Again, it will be €6.50 which includes cafe style afternoon tea of a selection of sandwiches & chips.  And you can purchase whatever you wish to drink.

Today also marks the first day of Socktober. Over the years I hosted Sock KALs, however, this year I’m stepping back and joining the Knit Up Philippines Sock KAL over on Facebook.

I’ll be casting on a true favourite, the Basic Sock Recipe pattern by the Yarn Harlot. I’m getting a head start on my Christmas socks with a sparkly ball of WYS sock yarn that I got as a birthday pressie, which I I contrast with some red from my stash.
