If you subscribe to our newsletter you’ll have already seen this stunning unisex jumper, Kookaburra by @marzena.kolaczek
Designed using our non-super wash Highland DK it’s worked seamlessly, top down with a beautifully textured yoke and double seed stitch body.

Marzena’s husband chose the colour Bad Penny and we’ll have this and the other colours at #unravelfestival next month if you fancy making one for yourself.

The best sort of post!
Entwine Shawl designed by @thecrochetproj and made for us by the ever lovely @lynnettelau as I’m unable to work out which end of a crochet hook to hold I can’t even imagine where you’d start but it’s gorgeous and we’ll have it and the yarn at #unravelfestival
Joanne is having a pattern sale with a different pattern each day so keep an eye out there are some beauties.
Yarn: Merino & Silk Single in Opal and Storm Brewing

I restocked our Alpaca and Silk 4ply yesterday and added a few new colours too. I was also trying out colour combinations for samples. This isn’t the one that was picked but I love it.

Our bumper winter club box was full of seasonal cards from @mortensolemsli ,kits to make your own tree garland and a pocket sized, tweedy teddy plus woodland stitch markers and of course wool dyed to the theme of a woodland walk.
Hopefully it’s kept everyone busy over the winter break. Tag us if you’ve made anything, we’d love to see! Lx

It’s our last posting day tomorrow and then we’re off for a Christmas break. Nicola will (fingers crossed) be moving to Sussex in the first week of the new year and she has a bit of packing to do.
In the meantime if you feel like a bit of scrappy knitting we have a new free pattern on our blog for a knitted gnome or fairy. They make perfect tree decorations but I’m hoping to make enough for bunting.
More Mavis Cruet than Tinkerbell.
