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

July Catch Up

Hello! Can't believe it's July already!!

Had very high temperatures for Scotland during June and July so been sheltering either in the house or sitting under an umbrella in the garden to get away from the sun.......come Winter, I'll be moaning again.....too cold and can't get move for rain and snow - we scots like a good old moan about the weather!

Have been busy though - I have Custom orders on the go and I started another shop on https://www.nuMonday.com

So my new shop can be found on

https://www.numonday.com/shop/scottish-knitwear-for-kids-and-grown-ups

Pop over and have a look! This is a fledgling selling site - so as well as my established Etsy shop on

https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ScottishKnitwear - I have divided the eggs of Scottish Knitwear For Kids And Grown Ups into two baskets!

Anyway - whilst sheltering from the sun I knitted - what else do you think a fiber lover like me would do???? Want to see what I've been up to?? Here goes.......

Hand Knitted Pure Aran Wool Sweater for your favourite  male!

Cosy Fingerless Mittens - ideal for Winter driving and texting!

For your little Beauty - a hand-knitted girls cable pattern jacket  with a hood knitted in Lavender  - beautiful bell shaped ribbing on lower edge

Hope you like all the work you see and nip over to my two shops for further details

Other news is that my usual supplier of Scottish Aran Wool  have increased their prices to almost double so.....in future scottishknitwearforkidsandgrownups.com Will be using Aran Wool produced by an artisan spinner and dyer - will also be working in Shetland Wool and Cashmere yarn!

Also as I'm getting a wee bit inundated with work, I've taken on a production partner who will be helping me with Custom orders until I get my fingers free!!

Will be back in touch in August - take care 'til then x
