Today I’ve been playing around with summer knitt

Today I’ve been playing around with summer knitting ideas and writing the newsletter for Wonderwool. Exciting things are planned this weekend on the #wonderwool2021 Facebook page. It’s free to sign up to the group.
We’ll be posting on Instagram too for anyone who prefers the format.

It’s virtual #wonderwool2021 this weekend and I’m trying to get everything twisted and labelled in time.
You can see the other exhibitors and join in by visiting @wonderwoolwales and following the link to their Facebook page.
We were much more organised when we had to leave the house to do a show!

The first of my Thrift Bloom Sock by @lisa_loeckch

The first of my Thrift Bloom Sock by @lisa_loeckchen

Carefully folded to hide the heel. The stitch pattern was so easy to remember that I didn’t bother taking the pattern with me on the car journey and I had to knit the only toe and heel I can do from memory. It was either that or twiddling my thumbs until we got home!

Knitted in our Classic Sock, colour Sticky Toffee.

I can’t say I’m enjoying the perishing weather

I can’t say I’m enjoying the perishing weather but at least I can wear my #comptonsweater in warm and woolly A&P BFL Masham DK. The pattern is in this month’s #theknittermagazine beautifully modelled and photographed. Mine is a larger size 😂 with five panels of hearts at the front and back in deep green ‘Nori’.

Two weeks to go before @wonderwoolwales 2021 virtual show.
The shop will be stocked up with our hand dyed yarns, Heath tweed and Jamieson & Smith Shetland wool.
There’s also only one week to go before Shetland Wool Week release their new free pattern so time’s running out if you would like to download the Katie’s Kep pattern for free.

The weather is just weird! From one of the hottest

The weather is just weird! From one of the hottest March days to snow, well a few flurries - in Surrey!
So instead of saving our new Ticklish socks as pristine samples I’m wearing them.
They are SO soft and warm.
They are knit with our Classic Sock held together with Merino and Silk Lace so knit up really quickly.
The pattern is available from Payhip via our website, from #lovecrafts and Ravelry.

We are so excited our first pattern published in ‘The Knitter’ magazine. Beautiful photography and modelling. It’s an eight page pullout with a little about The Knitting Shed. On sale this week!
