Only 2 weeks ago we were sunbathing on a beach and swimming in the sea, in England! It’s hard to believe that now it’s time to dig the woolies out.

If you need some knitting inspiration, our window may help you out. We have Cheri from the Rowan Cocoon Collection knitted in Bilberry Cocoon. It is only a 4 row pattern and 2 of those are purl and the other 2 are identical but just offset by 1 stitch. It’s a great autumn knit because you can layer other things underneath. The Cocoon book has a great choice of garments. One of our customers has knitted at least 3 things from it already.

A great new addition to our range is the Sirdar Big Softie. It is a super chunky with a brilliant book to get beginner knitters on to knitting easy garments. Look out for it on the website next week. We have all the colours in the shop; if you can’t wait you can give us a ring to order.

It is almost time for the Autumn Quilt Show at the 3 Counties in Malvern. We will be there again with a fabulous new range of kits which will be available in the shop and on the website after the show, at the beginning of November. We are also taking a range of sock yarns including Noro, Araucania and our fave Artist’s Palette.

We are winter fabric shopping on Tuesday so we will have some great additions to our popular cotton range very soon. We do already have a couple of nice needlecords, see my lovely pinafore here. We are also able to order Burda, Simplicity and New Look patterns now. The books are on the pattern bar for browsing!
