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!

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

April In Winter!

Hello! I want to say Spring has sprung, but Scotland is suffering from an overdose of snow......won't complain as it's good for business!

Since we last chatted in March, my sales have been not bad from both my Etsy shop and from Custom Orders.
Knitting wise.....well here is the selection of items done during March!

This is the side view of a ladies wrap in Pure Scottish Aran Wool - a great alternative to a jacket in Spring and cooler Summer Days - you'll see more pictures of this on 

https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ScottishKnitwear

Next I did a woman's slouch hat - this is worked in Scottish Double Knitting Wool in an Autumn shade and can also be found on Etsy

An Infinity Scarf comes next also in 100% Pure Aran Wool from Scotland 

Now for the Small Humans! A wee baby cardigan in brushed yarn which is sooo soft. Now for a little surprise - this cardigan comes with a free baby bonnet  - same colour but in a slightly different pattern - see my Etsy shop for details of such a bargain!

Now these are rather special! Arm Warmers based on an 18th Century design. The yarn for these was sourced by me here in Scotland...the sheep was raised here - it's wool dyed here and spun here - a very authentic looking pair of Arm Warmers

Hope you like the items you see and trot along to my Etsy shop for further details.
