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!

And Then There was June

Hello! Hope all is well in your world?

Since I saw you last, have been very, very busy - honestly I have! Never had a moment off from the knitting needles - well yes, I did exagerate there a bit.

So - following on from May's blog, two custom knits were completed and here they are

Both these sweaters went off to the USA - and as the red one proved so popular, a second one will be knitted for my Etsy shop  at https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ScottishKnitwear

This Cable Knit Chunky Wool, cable design hat and infinity scarf can be worn with the decorative band on the front of the scarf or without for a looser fit. - You can find these in my Etsy shop too!

How about two different shawls/scarves for the girls?

I say -  wow!! This shawl is hand knitted in a Merino/Nylon mix and will definitely be an accessory to wear to impress. The geometric design is  modern and sassy!

A Lace and Stripe design Shawl/Scarf - a good colour to blend in with many other items in your wardrobe - you'll also find these two shawls in my Etsy shop.

Might I say at this point, that all my models are friends, family or someone who was unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place when I needed a model!! 

They are real people like you!

Pop along to https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ScottishKnitwear - see the items in detail and hopefully, you'll love them as much as I do 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!
