Autumn Winds

It really looks as though up here in Scotland, Autumn has begun - now it's Woolie Jumper Weather!

Speaking of which, it's been a very busy time knitting-wise at https://scottishknitwearforkidsandgrownups.store - there have been Custom Orders for some super items

 This is just some on the Shetland Wool that arrived for the order for a hooded sweater - this is now a work in progress, so when it's finished, keep an eye on https://www.facebook.com/ScottishKnitwearforkidsandgrownups for the finished item

Mid August another order came along for a Pure Scottish Aran Wool cardigan in the shade of Autumn - so here is the finished result !

This is the back view which gives a fair idea of the pattern. The new owner loves it very much- The original cardigan is for sale on  https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ScottishKnitwear

in the colour of Brownstone - go take a look or you too might want a Custom Knit.

Sales of ready to wear has gone well too1 I sold this Pure Scottish Aran Wool sweater to England and as it was a popular item - It can still be found on https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ScottishKnitwear as a Made to order item - so it would be my pleasure to knit another for you.

         

 This Pure Scottish Aran Hat was sold to the Costume Department of a Theatre in England! 

For children, these two items were sent to Southern Ireland 

 They were very much admired http://www.scottishknitwearforkidsandgrownups.store and also my Etsy shop at https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ScottishKnitwear - I've kept them on the websites as Made to Order which can be knitted in a variety of colours and sizes so again - have a wee look 

This little set of hat and mitts were sent all the way to Louisana US for a little person who will look so cute wearing something so unique 

Now - just today I became a winner!!! I am frequently  over at a Facebook website called  Share A Seller UK Crafts - and I won the prize of a wee advert lasting a week - must brag about this so here is the ad

I am so chuffed - absolutely knocked out!!

I recently popped  picture of myself on my Twitter page https://twitter.com/ScotKnitter as I think that if you are selling it lets people see who they are buying from - ummm perhaps not a good idea -  but for anyone who doesn't scare easily - here I am - see what I mean!!!!!

Now - let's end this blog with a wee joke - 

Hope you like it and I'll be back (no that is not a threat - really it's not!) next month.

Enjoy the early days of Auumn

Better Late Than Never!

I'm starting with an apology! This is my August Blog.....in September.....but I've been busy....honestly I have!!

Actually, August has been a time for Custom Knits which are always welcome!

The first one to come along was this wrap, knitted in Pure Scottish Aran Wool in a shade called Heather which was sent to South Australia

This was fast followed by a gentleman in London who wanted a sweater with a polo neck still in Pure Aran Wool in a Natural Shade - that is still a work in progress so I'll post a picture of it in my next blog. Next is a chap who wants a Custom Knit of this cardigan

but in a different size. Thought that might be the end of it but another message arrived for a Custom knit for this Baby Cardigan and Matching Hat - the original of this is in my Etsy shop on https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ScottishKnitwear - if you also want a Custom Knit!

Another Custom Knit Request arrived for this little hoodie but in Beige which is still a work in progress but will post the finished item once I have it modelled.

Needless to say, I have taken on two Production Partners to help me with the work as Scottish Knitwear, I hope, is on the ascent!

As long as I'm chatting, can I show you some Christmas items that are in my Etsy shop just now for children (I know, I know - the "C" word has been spoken!) 

This has been knitted to fit a child aged 2 - 3 years but can be Custom Knit to fit any age or size - even an adult!

Hand Knitted for a baby but can also be done in other sizes.....then lastly.........

A little 

 threesome - again for a baby but can be knitted to the size (or colour) you want.

Now this is a beauty - a Hand Knitted Beanie Hat in Pure Scottish Aran Wool in Red - warmth on the coldest of days!

Phew - ow can you understand why I'm late this month in posting my blog? Oh oh, nearly forgot - I did an interview in August for this article on Craft people!!

Now I do believe I need to go lie down after all this creativity!! 

I don't know if I mentioned to you before, but I also have a shop on

https://www.numonday.com/shop/scottish-knitwear-for-kids-and-grown-ups

It's a new selling sight -and very early days and still finding it's feet but take a look at the site and give it a boost - from little acorns etc., 

Will be back at some point to let you see the latest makes but, if you want a Custom Knit please order early for Christmas - business in the knitwear section hots up in the cold weather - so don't be left out in the cold!
