Coming soon a new range of fabulous porcelain buttons handmade in Cornwall.
So, if you’re anything like me, you’ll be planning to knit as many Chirstmas presents as possible and that means starting around now. I learnt that the hard way a couple of years ago when I was hiding in my bedroom on Christmas morning grafting socks.
Here’s a quick knit, which would make an ideal Christmas present.
The pattern is Design 15 from ‘Noro: Designer Mini Knits 1‘. It has been knit using 1 skein of Noro Cahsmere Island, shade 8, on 3.75mm and 4.5mm needles. Other suitable yarns for this project include Noro Kureyon, Noro Silk Garden Lite and Noro Silk Garden.
I managed to knit a pair of these in a day, so why not whip some up to keep your loved ones’ hands warm this winter?
It’s that time of year again when I need to make room for all the scrummy new yarns that I have ordered for the autumn – I know I say it every year but next season’s collection is even better than ever!
There are going to be a couple of new suppliers coming into the shop and I promise you you won’t be disappointed.
There are a lot of yarns discounted at the moment; some because they have been discontinued and others because I won’t be restocking them. So as they say “when they’ve gone – they’ve gone”.
A few examples:
There are far too many to list so you’ll just have to come in a grab a bargain! Think of all those Christmas pressies!
Despite the fact that most yarn companies have increased their prices (apart from good old Wendy yarns who have actually reduced some of their yarn prices) I am still keeping mine at the old price. However, after August I will no longer be able to do this; so another good reason to come in and add to your stash.
I am pleased to say that the online shop is now live – well it’s OK if you live in the UK but we’re still having a few probs with overseas shipping rates; hopefully will be resolved over the next couple of weeks. Look forward to hearing what you think of it.
I am going to close the shop from Tuesday 11th August until Thursday 14th August reopening again on Friday 14th August so that I can do a bit of a tart up. However, if I am in the shop during that time and you have a knitting emergency it will be OK to come in although you might be roped into helping with the refurb!
Will update you all with the fabulous new yarns and accessories that are coming in for autumn/winter 09/10 during August.
Once again, thank you all for your support and please let me know if there is anything else you would like to see in the shop or how we can improve.
PS am now stocking complete range of Knitpro needles/accessories/buttons etc.
Just unpacked - new Rico yarns:
4 ply sock yarn in fantastic colours and only £5.30/100g
Lots more due in soon.
Special thanks to Sarena and of course the fabulous Miss M for all their help!
So long as you don’t live abroad you can now order from the website. Apologies to all our overseas customers but we’re having a few problems with the shipping rates. All will be fixed soon.
OK, I’m a knitter, I don’t crochet but I was on the look out for some suitable projects to do while watching Wimbledon and I found this cute project for a crochet tennis ball. Why not give it a go while you’re watching Murray win it for the UK?
