It was the first birthday party of my lovely little woolly haven, A Good Yarn, Cleethorpes. Everyone had joined in to make a few surprises for Kate. There was a lovely window display, as well as a knitted party buffet.

My contribution was to make the pattern for the bunting – as well as knitting the Happy part; plus I made a knitted cover for the champagne bottle. Julie was the one that got us all organised and pulled it together – she did a great job. There was also a journal that we’d all contributed to.

On the day, there were some mini workshops organised. Kate sorted out the jam pot covers and flowers and I designed the patterns for the mug cosies. So everyone got to pick a kit and we spent the day knitting.

| Mug Cosy Kits – I was a bit slow to take a photo (there were a lot more at the start!) |
At every hour, there was a special offer on in the shop – with caused much sales frenzy. Julie and Kate had made some fantastic cakes for us all too.
Everyone could put there name into a prize draw and there were lots of prizes. There was another couple of prizes not shown – a needle roll and project bag by Nicsknots and a voucher for a Birds and Bees Photography shoot, which I happened to win 🙂
There was a big turnout and it was a really fantastic day.

I’m hoping to write up the bunting pattern soon and I’ll put it on Ravelry.
