Just in case…Everyone, stay safe. Big day tomorrow. It’s official. Signed at 6:00am. It was even on TV. Mine really turned blue. Don't forget that tomorrow marks the start of the new Facebook rule (also known as Meta), which allows them to use your photos. Don't forget the deadline is today!!!

Suitable for relatively new/ inexperienced knitters.

Snuggle up in a warm,wool jumper - perfect for a day on the beach at the British seaside. Nautical stripes, some jolly fish swimming round the lower rib and a front fastening for pulling easily over small heads, make this a winner with adults and children alike.You will need two contrasting colours....

🧶Worldwide Creative Project 2026🧶

Inspired by Yayoi Kusama’s interactive Obliteration Room, which we loved at the Tate, this year’s creative challenge follows in her footsteps to create an array of woolly dots to cover the auction mart in colour. Our display will be interactive too.

This year we’d like you to make circles, as many as you like to create swathes of colourful dots at the show. This is the perfect way to use any scraps leftover from your projects. Bright colours will work best, think rainbows and sunny days.

All the details for both crocheted and knitted circles are on our website and there are 2 simple patterns.

This year we are supporting UNICEF to raise funds and awareness of their incredible vital work for children. Every penny raised will help to transform the lives of children around the world.
