Thank you to everyone who’s ordered the yarn for #seraphsweater in Issue 170 of #theknittermagazine. We have more on order and it should be with us very soon.

I filched the colours and patterns for the design from Watts Chapel @wattsgallery.
Perhaps taking inspiration from a mortuary chapel might be considered a bit weird but I think the interior of the chapel is extraordinary, so much colour and decoration. Having said that the grey seraph is my favourite!
If you’re in the area perhaps for a weekend @unravelfestival it’s definitely worth a visit.

Thank you also to Loraine McClean and @jcgstitches for your help, definitely appreciated.
And thank you so much @cindyhumphrey1 for modelling so beautifully

Today’s post was so exciting. My copy of @theknittermag arrived in amongst the brown envelopes and gift catalogues.
There it was, my Seraph sweater design on the cover looking absolutely glorious. I’m chuffed to bits.

The yarn is the fabulous #jamiesonandsmith 2ply jumper weight and I had a great time choosing the colours.

Plans this morning were forestalled - no hot water. So I’m working backwards, knitting up a new design. A bath mid morning will seem quite decadent!

Our October club boxes have all gone out now so swipe to see the contents and the recipe photo. Pumpkin cakes are my very favourite but a pity I did the photography and not Nicola, the professional food stylist!🙄
We have just one of our bumper Winter Club Boxes left in the shop.

It’s #fairislefriday !
I always think of Crackerjack when I start typing ‘Its Friday’. That was a VERY long time ago.
These are #hestimitts by @ellagordondesigns destined for a joint Christmas gift and Louise will be making the matching hat. How organised are we?
New #jamiesonandsmith colours are due in the shop any minute now so I’m very excited.

I’m trying to make up for the lack of autumn colour this year. It’s been so windy here that most of the leaves seem to have been blown away before they’ve had a chance to change colour.

Monday morning and I’ve been in need of inspiration. So I’ve been going through my stitch samples.
Only a glimmer so far but I’m getting there!
