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

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!
