Last Blog Of The Year!

Well Hello!

It's nearly the end of the year and I thought I'd pop in to say hello!
You will be pleased to hear this is not a big blog this evening - it's the season of goodwill and I have a lot of goodwill to a glass of white wine that is at my elbow awaiting me finishing this!

Exciting news this time though - I now have my own website

scottishknitwearforkidsandgrownups.co.uk and even if I say so myself, I think it's going to be a good one!

Nip over and have a wee look!

I had a very busy time leading up to Christmas - so many Custom Knits were ordered for Christmas  - it really was the year of the Custom Knit - these orders came from my Etsy site at scottishknitwearforkidsandgrownups.com

I also started selling on Folksy - another site address coming up here (sorry)
https://www.folksy.com/shops/ScottishKnitwear - this is also a fledgling site.

Now you may say with these two places to sell from, why does she need another personal website?
You see, I realised not everyone is on Etsy or Folksy - some people just enjoy looking at websites without having to join a group or check in as a guest so.......that's my excuse for having another site!

I have popped two new items on to all 3 sites - the first is :-

This beauty is knitted to fit a little boy, age 2 - 3 years - if you like it, go and have a look at any site

This has been knitted in Pure Scottish Aran Knitwear - a cardigan for a woman in the colour of Sandstone and sporting 7 Leather buttons to fasten - pure classic cardigan

All that's left is for me to wish you a very Happy New Year  - may 2019 bring you happiness and prosperity x

What the Lady Did!

Hello! Nearly the end of February and have I been busy from the beginning of the month right up to today!

One of the things I like about knitting is that I can do so many different things and although they are all knitted - I can get so many different looks.

So here we go:

This jumper was a custom knit for a lady who has ordered from me before via my Facebook page

This little cardigan has been knitted to fit a baby girl aged 6 - 9 months and looks so warm and comfortable! I chose these colours as I don't see any reason as to why babies have to be dressed up in blue and pink only! You'll find this on my children's website https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ScottishKnitwearKids

Here is a Pure Scottish Aran wool Cardigan with a stand up collar, wooden toggle buttons and a traditional design which looks great with the modern cardigan.
You'll find this on my other website https://www.etsy.com/shop/ScottishKnitwear?=hdr_shop_menu

Now lastly, for those who have been following me (you mean you haven't!!) you'll know that I have knitted for Outlander so here is a latest make

This Scottish shawl is knitted in the yarn as close to 18th century yarn as can be found.
The wrist warmers are cosy and practical as was all working clothes in the 18th century

So, that's it for now but I must  warn you that I will be back to show you more next month!
