The crown tea cosy is truly a work of art, every day I resist the urge to wear it (I know, I am losing the plot). It is definitely not for sale, display purposes only.
However, the Royal Garden Tea Cosy is for sale as a kit. Start knitting now and you will have it in time for the big day.
Using these seductive adjectives is easy when you are fondling exquisite yarns however, our newest addition has it's very own adjective and highly appropriate moniker : SCRUMPTIOUS...
No more needs said, except for LOOK at it gleaming on the shelf! We have the dk in stock and 4ply to follow soon. The supporting patterns are lovely and I can't wait to try one (dare I add another WIP to my long list.)
A few weeks ago we held a fairisle workshop and much to our delight everyone was very quick to learn. Very quickly we received this photo:
Isn't it fantastic! Another lady brought her beautiful alpaca creation but I didn't have my camera. The next workshop on Thursday 31st March is cable and bobble, so if you would like to turn your hand to a new skill just give us a call.
The girl who made this kept coming in for cream Rowan pure wool dk and we couldn't imagine what she was making, however it is stunning.....
As usual, black works so well as a crochet background.
Just to prove that knitting is always appreciated too, look at this duffel bag, a gift from a knitting sister, now that is sisterly love!
Inside the sofa is looking inviting but there is so much to do, we never seem to spend much time on it knitting.
Meanwhile, the tapestry wool is popular, lots of lovely colours.
And new in, Crystal Palace KidMerino and Little Flowers, you can have a look at the Free Patterns for inspiration.
Now, for valentines day start dropping hints to your loved one that yarn lasts longer than flowers.
Alison came in October to run her famous 'Knitting with Kidsilk Haze' workshop. Everyone had such a good time they begged her to come back again and they all came on this course plus a few extra. We were bulging at the seams.
I chose the sky blue and silver shimmer and was so excited I carried on knitting when I got home. I have so many WIP/UFO's and had promised to finish some before starting anything new but have already started a ripple crochet blanket which I am LOVING and now this gorgeous, addictive project.
Have a lovely Christmas and we will see you in the new year.
No, I am not making it up, Maxine's vision of mice and christmas food hamper was another triumph and we scooped the Christmas window prize. The mice were knitted by a lady we know who has a wonderful talent and they look fantastic, every day we are asked if they are for sale.
