Something For The Girls!

Hello to you!

Been a rather busy month for me considering we have had a heatwave here for a couple of days -well this is Scotland - land of hills and rivers 'cos we get rain and lots of it.

Usually the month of June is a quiet month for me but I managed to finish one Custom Order

which I think I showed you earlier this month being knitted up. This is now happily living with it's new owner in England. If you look on https://scottishknitwearforkidsandgrownups.co.uk you will see this jumper for sale as a Made To Order and is available in loads of colours -

as you can see here.

Now, this poncho has been with me a while. I am not the best photographer so decided that it wasn't the poncho's fault it wasn't selling - it was the faults of the photographer - namely moi!
A wee spot of re-photography was called for - what do you think

This is showing the poncho loose and this other one

shows the poncho with a belt, giving it a totally different look - sophisticated and unique
The poncho can be Custom Ordered too in a variety of colour choices so -

pick your favourite colour and feel good in your made to order poncho!

Sometimes we gals just want to slip something on and leave the house - still look good without  hassle - here is the hassle free cardigan for cool days

Hand Knitted in a Chunky Yarn - this Edge to Edge Cardigan has a cable twist added to the fronts and neckline, two deep pockets for "stuff" and side vents to give freedom of movement. Imagine this with a wide leather belt or a scarf for yet another look - and yes, it can be Custom Ordered in a variety of colours - so ahem -

here they are!

Now, just had to do something for the little ladies!

This little cardigan has been knitted in a sparkly Lavender yarn. With lace designs to the fronts and sleeves. This is a Once Only knit and once it is sold, it is gone! It has been knitted to fit 12 - 18 months

All of these marvellous knits can be found on the website

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!
