The Girl with the Fan Tattoo

No it is not the sequel to the Swedish drama, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but day one of the Glasgow School of Yarn at Mackintosh Queen's Cross.

This is Clare who was working with the Ginger Twist Studio who are exhibiting in the Mackintosh Hall.

All part of the Creative Mackintosh Festival, the Glasgow School of Yarn is now in its fourth year, the knitting festival is organised by the Yarn Cake, a German bakery and knitting oasis on Queen Margaret Drive.

Within the beautiful church designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the Glasgow School of Yarn offers workshops and tutorials from expert knitters, including Rachel Coopey of Coop Knits and Emily Wessel from Tin Can Knits, teaching skills such as as how to knit your own socks, how to create lace and how to knit with different colours and textures.

Tomorrow we have another day of the Glasgow School of Yarn. So more beautiful yarn, great food and yummy cakes.
