Ready Steady Knit

 With autumn just about here we have lots of new stock in the shop

Chunky wools in lots of warm variegated colours - This is Folksong

And this is Faroe - a super chunky quick to knit on 10mm needles

  So quick to knit that Audrey has done one in a few days and brought this lovely sleeveless jacket in to show us. The cable detail on the collar doesn't show up very well in the photo but we have a sample in the shop for you to have a closer look.














There are new baby yarns and patterns too - we now have Sublime baby yarn - a beautiful blend of cashmere, merino wool and silk.

Out and about - the shop is in beautiful Northumberland - near to Hadrian's wall. This weekend we were part of the London 2012 cultural Olympiad with this art installation of meteorological balloons which "talked " to each other along the length of the wall.  This one was feeling a bit sorry for itself.

Being encouraged by its neighbours it started to turn pink

Then inflated and floated up in the air - ready to play!!

Strange and thought provoking?


Happy Knitting !!
