Both now sadly closed! You can find us at Hebden Bridge Craft Market on the second Saturday of each month.

Well, we used to have a wool shop, originally upstairs at the Piece Hall and the downstairs at the Piece Hall and then finally up at the the lovely Old Bank on Silver Street, (where you'll find some other fab specialist shops too). These days we make and sell cute little baby jumpers with a modern twist - mostly bright, dramatic colours, and there's usually a stripe or two involved - I love a stripe! We share a table with Mike, who sells lovely photographs and beery, crafty stuff.

Need some colour inspiration? Flower carpet, currently on display in Centenary Square, Bradford. Only there till tomorrow, so jump on a bus immediately if you'd benefit from a colour fix!

Don't you just love it when you check the length of the sleeve you're working on against the first sleeve and you find THIS...?

(Also, yes, I thought I'd try a more subdued colour palette - looks much nicer in real life than in the picture, but I don't think subdued colours for babies are really my thing.)

Market, Albany Arcade, Sat, 19th Sept.

Lots of lovely stuff from a variety of craft-based stalls at fabulous prices. Three Bags Full and Mike's Beery Things will be there!

Old photo for attention only, but I quite like these three - think I'll make some more...

As I'm keeping the new Paloma cowl for myself, my plan was to add some vintage buttons. But I only had two of each design in this lovely green. I spent a while looking through my collection of vintage buttony wonder to no avail - no others were a suitable size or shade.

Of course, it then turned out...they're exactly the same buttons, depending on whether you're looking at the A side or the B side.

I'm putting it down to tiredness or lack of brain power or something like that. Anyway it's very soft and snuggly; if it snows this weekend I shan't mind.

Well, I seem to have become a bit obsessed with basket stitch. This one's slightly different from the previous one, but most people wouldn't notice, I don't think. Size 18" - about 3-6 months.

I have another on the needles at the moment, in a kind of red wine colour coupled with lime green. My obsession with all things lime and mustard shows no signs of abating.

Have been MIA all summer as no one wants woollies in a heatwave. Obviously I've still been knitting.

Anyway, we'll be at the Makers Market in the Albany Arcade (top left area of the Borough Market, where Concorde Cafe is) on Saturday, just in case you feel the need to prepare for the coming winter...

I'll be honest, the idea of having a table at the market this weekend, selling woollies in the record-breaking heat, is not filling me with any income-generating expectations. However, we'll still be there!

Anyway, as well as the baby jumpers - which people do sometimes buy no matter the weather - I'll also bring along the buttons and the woolly jewellery and anything else I can think of which won't make you recoil with horror as the temp hits 30 degrees... I mean, these are really cute and cool, aren't they?

Grey sock yarn given to me by lovely friend some years ago. Now being knitted double-stranded into several items, which will end up at one of Overgate's local Little Stars shops. Just another hat and maybe some mittens to go now.

This new one's currently not so much bouncy and free-spirited as creased and sorry for itself, so I might actually press it. But still, those blues.

Does anyone want this Debbie Bliss Paloma before I put it on etsy? I've been saving it to make myself something lovely, but it's clear that I'm never going to get round to it. Anyway, if you don't know Paloma, it's a light and supersoft chainette yarn mix of 60% baby alpaca and 40% merino wool. Tension is 12 stitches and 18 rows on 10mm needles, or you can use a smaller needle for a firmer fabric. This shade was called mustard - actually a buttery fawn. (The smaller group photo is the best image colourwise.)

Makes fabulous scarves and cowls, in case you're thinking about Christmas presents. (And who isn't thinking about Christmas presents? It's May after all.)

Selling for £3.50 per 50g hank. We used to sell it for £5.95, but nowadays it's somewhere around the £10 mark. If you're local, Mike'll probably deliver; if not, there'll be a small postage charge to add.
