As previously mentioned, Struan Farm will be hosting a book signing for knitwear designer Mel Clark to celebrate the launch of her latest book "Knitting Everyday Finery" on Saturday, May 12 at 11 a.m.
We've got Piopio's fabulous cafe, The Fat Pigeon, coming to the farm to help cater morning tea (FPC owner and chef extraordinaire Melanie Simpson advises me it's technically a "light lunch"). For those of you from Taranaki, rest assured, good Ozone coffee will be served.
Mel will be there to meet everyone and sign books. Original designs from the book will be on display and yarns for sale too.
Reservations and book pre-orders are required to attend ($35, payable to Mel on the day). Everyone attending will receive a complimentary Struan Farm tote bag, morning tea (or light lunch, as the case may be), their book, and a chance to win yarns for one of the projects in the book.
Mel has been kind enough to share a beautiful photo of one of the projects in the book, "July Gloves," as a bit of a sneak preview:
Definitely works for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere with winter heading our way, and what a teaser-- I can't wait to see the other designs!
Contact me to book a space at info@struanfarm.co.nz if you'd like to attend the event. Mel will on TVNZ's Morning Show on Monday, April 23rd (the book is scheduled to be released here in NZ on April 15th), and there will also be a feature in an upcoming issue of Women's Weekly.
