A QUICK CATCH UP

 Hello! I can't believe I haven't written a blog since 2019! Did you miss me??? Ummm let's leave that question for now.

With the lockdowns of 2020 and shops being closed, like most online sellers, I had a bumper year of knitting sales - I actually had to "persuade" my sisters to help me with orders - well perhaps persuade is not the word but I'm sure they enjoyed helping me!

2021 has followed a more normal pattern - busy in January and February but  now trailing off during late spring and will be so in to summer then - hopefully- picking up in early autumn. 

My orders just now are from shops who are ordering Shetland Wool sweaters for their winter stock.

On my website - www.etsy.com/uk/shop/scottishknitwear you'll see that I have added a great selection of 

ready to wear children's hand knitted Jumpers and Cardigans - worked in either a blend of wool with acrylic or less expensive all acrylic hand knits with cable patterns - here are one or two to for your perusal

This little beauty fits age 2 - 3 years - and is in the cosy shade of Raspberry Pink

Again, age 2 - 3 years in Teal Blue with two deep pockets to keep precious "stuff" in!

For pretty princesses, this peach coloured hooded jacket fits 18 months to 2 years and will be so much admired.

The menfolk haven't been forgotten about either - jumpers and cardigans made to order in a wide variety of colours and knitted to your size requirements

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
