A Window Into My World

It's been  funny month up here in Scotland. We seem to have gone from high summer to early Autumn in  fast eye blink!

The rowans are bright red, the jackdaws (cheeky little blighters) have pecked the apples on the tree and, somehow, the atmosphere has changed - all very much the start of the Autumn.

Someone was daft enough to suggest to me I had a nice big craft room and lots of pigeon holes for my yarns similar to what you see in yarn shops so - do you really want to see where my workspace - watch the video I put a longer version on my Twitter page at https://twitter.com/ScotKnitter and it went down rather well - ach, no - jist  wee exageration there!

So, as I said it is a wee bit Autumnal here so an Aran jacket with a hood was finished off for an age 4 - 5 years so I popped it on this little model - didn't she do a grand job?

You'll find this little number in www.scottishknitwearforkidsandgrownups.com which is my Etsy shop or my new website at scottishknitwear.patternbyetsy.com - it can also be Custom Knit in your size and colour choice as there is a great variety of colours on a chart that I have also popped on the websites - spoiling you eh?

Did I mention that I have a shop too on my Facebook page? No? That's not like me to forget tsk tsk - you'll find it at https://www.facebook.com/ScottishKnitwearforkidsandgrownups - go have  browse and if there is anything you like just click on the website address or just on the "Shop Now" button.

My little favourite on the month is this little Cerise Baby Cardigan to fit age 9-12 months

Much cuteness and find much cuteness on any of the websites or in the Facebook shop or on my Pinterest page at  www.pinterest.com/ScotKnitter

Now, I ask you, if you live outwith Scotland and think your ancestors came from Scotland but you're not sure what part, here is a map of Scotland and the lands owned by the various clans - hope you find it informative and interesting

Hope you enjoyed the reading of this blog and will catch up with you soon

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!
