A little bit of fair isle knitting for me today, while Rupert 🦊 watches closely 😊

27/09/2026

Good morning !!

It’s Sunday so it’s show and tell time !

What a week !!

I’ve been so poorly but pleased to say I’m back to it now, although a little tired I’m so happy to be back !

You know me though, I may have been off but I still managed to get our new In the Loop box sorted, Rupert Brambleby 🦊 (thank you for all your orders so far 🥰), all bits and bobs for the boxes are ordered and on there way too 😌

Yesterday was my first day back at the shop so I’ve completely failed at getting prepped for the start of yarnstravaganza (which should have been yesterday) but I’ve managed now to get all 30 goody bags sorted ready for Tuesday !! I can’t have you missing out can I?
🌟 These will be available to anyone who spends over £25 on knitting or crochet supplies from Tuesday to Saturday (until they run out !)

Back to today’s task - show and tell…….
Today I’m KNITTING 🧶 !
It’s been so long, I’ve forgotten how meditative fairisle knitting can be ! I’m completely addicted !! Little one has asked for a home alone hat (well 2 actually) so here’s my first one, I’m working off a chart and hoping it fits when complete 🤣 Rupert’s 🦊 watching over me and keeping me company too 🥰

Now it’s your turn, share your amazing makes with us all ⬇️ and don’t forget to share the crafty ❤️

Have a wonderful Sunday my lovelies 🥰

Evening my lovelies,

As you know every year we take part in yarnstravaganza, and we were supposed to be kicking off tomorrow but as I’ve been poorly all week I haven’t been around to organise anything included your fabulous goody bags !

So, I have had no choice but to change things a little !

Rather than have our big day tomorrow we will have a limited amount of goody bags (which are fabulous as always😊) to give away every day from Tuesday and all our offers will start from then too !

I’ll pop back on with more plans when I’ve got them sorted.

Thanks for understanding, hope to see you in the week!

Good morning !

We are open today but just from 10-2, today the lovely Caroline and Cheryl will be holding the fort 😊

Thanks for all your orders yesterday for our new In the Loop box ‘Rupert Brambleby’ 🦊 the first in our collection of Baggersbrook wood 🌳 characters 😊

The yarns already ordered so we are on track to get the kits out to you as planned 😊

24/09/2026

Good morning my lovelies,

We are open today as usual, the lovely Caroline has stepped in again !

I’m not sure if we will be open tomorrow as I have no staff ! But I will keep you posted so please pop in today if you need anything desperately 😊

All this sitting around has given me much needed time to crack on with designing and I’m so pleased to announce our next in the loop box is ready to pre order and introduce you to ……

Rupert Brambleby 🦊 - this charming and adventurous little fox loves nothing more than exploring Baggersbrook woods where he lives alongside lots of other wonderful characters who will be joining the collection 😊

The kit contains everything you need to make your own Rupert who stands 34 cm tall and has the bushiest tail. All yarns used are from Sirdar loveful recycled range ❤️

Pop over to our website or Etsy store to pre order yours now for delivery or feel free to drop us a message for collections 😊 we aim to be dispatching from the second week of October 📦

Good morning !!

It’s Sunday so you know what’s coming !!

Show and tell time 😊

Wow have I got a lot of stuff on my craft table, I’m a busy bee 🐝 and still full of cold so it’s all such an effort today 😫!!

I’ve got witch kits stacking up ready for a mahoosive workshop I’m doing with the lovely Emma at Emma's Humbugs Coffee and Craft Sedgley, Christmas crafts on the go for new workshops and trying to perfect some cute crochet clothing for my new amigurumi pattern (super excited about this 😆)

Here’s a pic of another witch 🧙 I’ve completed - free flying without the hoop 🤗

I really want to start me a comfy Hexi cardy but I think that will have to wait 😳

Now it’s your turn, share your wonderful creations with us all below 👇 and don’t forget to share the crafty 🩷

Have a wonderful Sunday what ever your plans 🥰

It’s pumpkin making time !
2 years ago I launched our first In the Loop crochet box and this was one of the patterns in the box 😊 it’s available as a pdf download now and is so fun to make 🎃
