Have you heard? Nancy's been felting up a storm!!

Nancy can't stop won't stop.. she's been felting up a storm these last few weeks, have you seen her beautiful bag and bowl we have in store that she's made? And last week, hot off her felting table was the beautiful Nuno Scarf in Gelato colour.

This is a fabulous kit for a gift for you, or someone you love whether you make if for them or not, available online or in store.

Last weekend she brought in her two new fire bags, also proudly displayed in store!

Student appreciation!

Twinkle's graduation day! Twinkle took the Beginner Knitting class, and this was her finished fingerless glove from the last class. Didn't she do a fabulous job!

We have our last Beginning Knitting class of the year starting Wednesday November 4th at 6:30pm, and there are a couple of spots available if you'd like to learn to knit too!

How could I not?

A yarn called Petit Lapin? (Little Rabbit) how could I not order that for the store. As soon as the order arrived the boxes were opened, and it fell into my bag to be taken home for swatching!

I had a vision of a cosy vest, and Maureen Vest by Langyarns fit the bill perfectly! I paired the yarn with Estelle's new Gemstone Bulky for the ribbing.

It's definitely a case of knitting by feel, I worked the front panels two at a time as there's no way I'm counting rows in the fabric. For checking your gauge I suggest placing a removable stitch marker between a set amount of stitches for measuring. I worked the yarn on a 7mm needle to achieve a 9 sts per 4 inch gauge.

I used just over 3 balls, so I'm going to be making The Anya Hat by Ponder and Ply, pairing with Sweet Georgia's Worsted merino in Rose Gold with the leftovers.

The sample is proudly on display in store, and we totally recommend cosying up with it!

Paula's got her sparkles on!

Me and Paula have both had our eyes on the new Cashmere yarn from Lang, Paula beat me to the punch and cast on a Sophie Scarf by PetiteKnit.

I love the pairing she chose, Pink cashmere with Beige Make it Paillette, it just looks so rich.

And of course, I'm getting Sparkly too! I've paired Estelles Highland Alpaca Tweed DK in Natural with Make it Paillette Cream and cast on Poppy Tee by PetiteKnit.

I've just started on the ribbing and for that part I've decided to tinsel it up with Lang's Astra.

And yes you bet it looks better in person! It's in the shop with me this week if you want to take a look!

Make it Unicorn? Don't mind if I do...

I'm having so much fun with Rico Designs new Creative Make it Multicolor.

On my hook is Sweetheart Jersey by Nomad Stitches using Anchor Bay Glacier and Make it Multicolor Unicorn, this is the sweater for the Crochet a Sweater that fits class, this was supposed to be a shop sample, but it looks like I'll have to make another one for the shop, as there's no way this one isn't for me!

I've also combined Unicorn with Estelle Highland Alpaca Tweed DK in Natural and knit up a hat, SpinYouRound hat, one of my designs. I'm impressed how well it works with texture and it's a fab way to zhuzh up your yarn.

We have Make it Rainbow, Unicorn and Autumn available online and in store to choose from.

Have you started thinking about the ✨sparkle✨ season?!

With the arrival of our new, Creative Make it Paillette, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to resist casting on a cream + gold sequin top!!

There's 305m per 50g spool, and we recommend pairing with Anchor Bay if you run warm, and Highland Alpaca if you run cold!

I'm pretty sure a few spools will be falling into my bag this evening for an imminent cast-on, I'm not sure I've got the knitting band width, but I can tell that's not gonna stop me!

Creative Paillette 011 Cream, paired with Anchor Bay 17 Dew or Highland Alpaca DK Tweed 01 Natural.

Creative Paillette 001 Ecru, paired with Anchor Bay 40 Moonbeam or Highland Alpaca DK Tweed 05 Silver.

Creative Paillette 009 Beige, paired with Anchor Bay 18 Taupe or Highland Alpaca DK 02 Sand.

Creative Paillette 013 Black, paired with Anchor Bay 05 Black or Highland Alpaca DK Tweed 08 Coal.

Available online or instore.

Hats off! From Super Bulky to fi*****ng!

Paula's had her eye on Gemstone Estelle Yarns since it landed in store, and last Monday she whipped up one of her favourite hats, Haiku Slouchy hat by Char Kohl. Last December Paula knitted one of these hats, and then, just couldn't stop knitting them, over and over again... I'm wondering if this Gemstone version will kick off another hat train!

And off my needles is Tettegouche by Virgina Sattler-Reimer made with the new to us Baa Ram Ewe Pip, a non superwash fi*****ng weight yarn perfect for Colourwork!

And if you'd like to dive into colourwork, we've just added a Two-handed Colourwork workshop for Thursday November 5th, 6:30pn - 8:30pm.

This is why I teach.

This is Linda's first ever chain, she had never picked up a crochet hook before yesterday evening. I love teaching beginners, I love teaching anyone, and that smile is just the best.
