SOON BE AUTUMN!

I have a confession to make....are you ready for this??  I DON'T LIKE SUMMER!  There, got it said at last! I'm more of an Autumn bird - you know, golden leaves, cosy log fires and no sport on the TV!

The one good thing about the summer sport on TV is that while my hubby is glued to the screen, I can sit in a chair, quite happily ignored by the other half - just sitting there in my own world with knitting needles clicking out their soothing sound.

I have been quite busy selling items as well as kitting them - two orders have come in for this sweater from the same customer in Norfolk, England

in the colours Cobalt Blue and Rust. then  I knitted this pair of fingerless mitts in Shetland wool, listed them on my Etsy website www.etsy.com/uk/shop/scottishknitwear and they sold very, very quickly - good eh??  

Now, last year, or was it the year before perhaps -  I had an order from a shop in Utah USA for 5 x long line hooded coats - so this year I was so pleased to receive an order for another 3! The pink one has been done so still two to be done - one in cream and one in white.

Enough now of the orders - can I let you see 3 little jumpers that are ready to purchase from the website?

These are little beauties! The rust one fits age 3 - 4 years, The silver grey fits age 1 - 2 years and the old

gold one fits age 2 - 3 years - nip over to the website and have a good browse!

Can't remember if I showed you my hat's and scarves - but here is a wee selection of quality wool warmers for Autumn

Hats and Cowls in Pure Wool - another three reasons to look at what's on offer on my Etsy website

Want to see what else is for sale? 

Hand Knitted Long Line Hooded Jacket in Pure Shetland Wool - look at the deep pockets here 

So - that's a wee catch up of things - will be back in touch soon so until then, take care out there

A Chill Wind Blows In Scotland

Hello to you!

I have been busy since last time I posted a blog. Really, have stayed as far away from the cold as possible and did a bit of knitting and I hope you've noticed the new banner at the top of my page and the new logo - if not.....nip back and have a wee look and let me know what you think. The logo and the banner may be new, but you can expect the same high quality knitwear from   scottishknitwearforkidsandgrownups.co.uk

Now, I have been busy with children's cosy items. I know Winter is dragging on, but here I think the worst of Winter is yet to come and in parts of Europe and the US - they need snow shovels to get out of the house

I've also been busy finishing of Custom Orders for Men's jumpers and Cardigans since last we met but for now, here is a small selection of the latest items on scottishknitwearforkidsandgrownups.co.uk

A Hand Knitted Pure Scottish Aran Cardigan with Leather Buttons to fasten

Knitted in a Chunky Acrylic Yarn for easy care, this little jacket is worked in a shade of Heather and has  six heart shaped, ice chip buttons to fasten. The little hat has two pom pom's and If I have to say so myself will look so warm, smart and fashionable on a little girl aged 2 - 3 years

Another Hand Knitted Chunky Jacket for a little lad aged 4 - 5 years. Cobalt Blue With 6 buttons to fasten and buttons on wrist bands and on lower edge of jacket for a smart look

Two ways to wear this warm bright and very versatile cowl - wear it around the shoulders to look good with a jumper - wear it under your coat or wrap it over your head on a cold day. Worked using three strands of double knitting yarn twisted together - knitted in raspberry, light green and gold

Lastly, a hand knitted jacket with hood and two pockets and a Cable Knit design - all to fit age 4 - 5 years 

All these items and many more are available on my website and the other selling sites below 

Now, must dash, something waiting patiently on the needles for me to pick it up and get on with it!
