UK Rav day 2010 & knitting retreat
It’s going to be at the University of Stirling. As some of you might know, it’s a wonderful campus (it’s apparently won awards for being the prettiest campus in the UK) and has a huge lake in the middle of it. They’ve offered us an amazingly good rate, but I want to get the 2009 event out of the way first before really starting work on it. Tickets for 2010 will be on sale at the 2009 event and thereafter on a dedicated website, so we can maybe attract people from across the pond/Europe.

event is 7th august 

this years knitting meets and retreat will be

a day of wool and craft on

It is being organised for Ravelry members- as well as anyone else who wants to come along- in celebration of everything that Ravelry offers us, and more.
