Our TKS June Club Box is now in the shop.
There’s a choice of a 100g skein of Classic Sock or Merino & Silk Single inspired by this image of last year’s sweet peas (this year’s are still climbing their wigwam!)
There will be a pea inspired embroidery project and something a little extra.
We’re hoping for a glorious summer of crafting. Fingers crossed!

Finally a big enough space to photograph #cornisht

Finally a big enough space to photograph #cornishthriftshawl. Louise and I have made full use of the rather fancy 1950s breeze block shed in my new garden.
Both knitted with #ainsworthandprin Merino Silk Single in Cinnabar and Mrs Dalloway and Feather and Winter in Narnia.
I even found some feathers- I didn’t just throw this together!

A rather lonely sock set I found when photographing stock yesterday.
It’s now in the shop if you’d like to give it a good home.

It’s advent time and this year’s is available

It’s advent time and this year’s is available in the shop now.
The very lovely @joelizabethmay , a patient saint and puppeteer extraordinaire, has painted us the perfect scene, for our inspiration.
A cosy winter’s evening, feet up on the sofa and all she had to go on was our rather vague description and photos of granny’s rather grumpy teddy.
There is an option for either our Classic Sock or Merino & Silk for the bases with an optional full skein. It will be a combination of semi solids, variegated and speckles in earthy shades of terracotta, moss and damson.
A little daily treat.
