Last minute preparation for IndieTracks

We're packing our rucksacks and airing our sleeping bags in readiness for our trip to IndieTracks. Amongst all the tent pegs, roll mats and yarn we even had time for an interview. You can read it here on the IndieTracks blog.

Hope to see you there!

It's all go at Knit a Neuron Towers

We heard this week that we were successful in our application to take Knit a Neuron to the Green Man festival. KAN are very excited about this: four days of knitting, brain science and music.

In related festival news we've also been getting ready for Indie Tracks. It may be a month away but we've a busy month so thought it best to make a plan of action for our workshop. It should be fun!

Knitting magazine have also been in touch, asking us a few questions and wanting pictures of the lovely neurons. KAN have been getting to grips with their camera to oblige.

Knit a Neuron is spreading...

We've just heard from Rebecca at the Cornwall Yarn Shop who tells us that her customers and knitting group are going to be knitting some neurons as part of the shop's Charity of the Month. How exciting that people are hearing about us and getting involved.

Looking forward to seeing some pictures of your knitting group getting on with their neurons, Rebecca!

Are we going to the Green Man festival?

Carrying on the festival vibe we've submitted our proposal to take part in Einstein's Garden at the Green Man festival in August. They are looking for stalls, talks and thrift workshops with a science theme. We're proposing a marathon Knit and Natter where festival goers can drop by to knit a neuron and have a chat about brain science. Should be fun if we're accepted. Here's hoping.

Stitch and Bitch at the Thunderbolt

I'm just back from the inaugural Stitch and Bitch at the Thunderbolt, Bristol. What did I find? A lovely jumble of knitted neurons from Amanda, Vanessa and Beccy! If you want to see more neurons then Amanda says she'll be knitting more while at the Art Fair at Trinity this weekend.

Beccy donated a neuron to the Thunderbolt, maybe some more folk will be inspired?

Thanks everyone!

Let's Knit Magazine

In rather exciting news Let's Knit magazine have been in touch as they'd like to feature us in their Charity of the Month section. We're really rather pleased about it!

Knit a Neuron at Indietracks

As I said a little while ago we got in touch with the lovely folk at Indietracks who were looking for workshops. I've just heard that we've been selected to run a workshop on the Saturday - woo hoo! What more can a girl want: music, camping, knitting, crochet, science (and a railway)? Perfect!
