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

Hello out there!

Can't believe I haven't written a blog for so long - just busy doing whatever stuff came my way.

The last time i wrote a blog, it was snowing here and now, here I am slurping water and melting in a heatwave.

Now although everyone is out there in shorts and tiny tops, I am thinking of Autumn and Winter!

I'm sure you think I have a whole toolbox of loose screws knitting heavyweight items in the middle of the afore mentioned heatwave, but in my own way, I'm trying to keep one or perhaps 2 seasons ahead.

This is the latest item in my websites scottishknitwearforkidsandgrownups.co.uk

and  scottishknitwearforkidsandgrownups.com

This is knitted in an Acrylic yarn with 25% Wool Mix - it's lighter than Pure Aran and cheaper!

These are the colours you can choose from if you want a Custom Hand Knit done in your size.

My lovely model in the picture is a very tall girl, so if you are a tiny person like me, the edge will rest further down the leg - or if even taller than the model, further up!

This jacket has a hood and two pockets, but it can be knitted with a collar instead of a hood or minus the pockets.

I have been busy with another two projects - but as soon as I can, I'll have them modelled and on my websites for your perusal and hopefully purchase!

If you visit scottishknitwearforkidsandgrownups.com - I have a sale of All Pure Scottish Aran Wool Sweaters and Cardigans - 30% off!!! Sale is on until June 9th - a change to buy for Father's Day or think ahead to Christmas and spread the cost!
