Furry Christmas Baubles
Do you have everything sorted for Christmas yet? Everything neat and dusted, parcels bought and wrapped, festivities planned? I’m not even close! I mopped the kitchen floor last night after getting the kids to bed, and that’s about it. No parcels sorted, no plans for the holiday, I’ve knitted five rows of the sweater that…

Profile: Wool and the Gang
I’m so excited to tell that we finally have most of the Wool and the Gang yarns (and some kits too) in stock! From the ‘classic’ super chunky Crazy Sexy Wool, to the most luscious newcomer in the family Sheepaca, a yarn as elegant as it’s name! Recently I grabbed hold of one of the…

My Honey
Finally something has been completed (and I’ve got the pictures to prove it)! Nemi’s new cardi is the My Honey by Elena Nodel. It is such a fun knit with lots and lots of constructional details making sure you’ll never get bored. I’m a huge fan of Elena’s designs and have made several of her…

Welcome to my world
A few weeks ago we were privileged with a lovely visit from the very talented Leah Band (seriously, check out her website, this woman knows her stuff). As the look of our shop is finally coming together with all it’s bits, pieces and crazy ideas, we though it was the right time to have a…

Counter Yarn Bomb
A while ago, or to be honest it must have been around last Christmas, I kept posting pictures like this on my facebook wall, boldly stating that no-one would be able to guess what we were planning to use these squares for. I didn’t think it would take me months and months to get to…

DIY Love – Pinterest Round Up
We’re going to a viewing today, my husband and I, although I wont get my hopes up too high it seems perfect, three bedrooms and a garden. We’ve been looking for more than a year now, but as the rent in London is reaching it’s all time high, it seems like it is impossible to…

Pure bliss
Ah pure bliss! No, I’m not talking about my summer crocheting but the fact that I finally had time to give myself a long time sought after manicure last night!

Pinterest round up – crafty DIY favourites
I absolutely love Pinterest. People use it in all different kinds of ways, I mainly use it as a visual to do list and to collect beautiful pictures of beautiful stuff. The only problem is that my to do list is forever growing and I can’t seem to find the time to actually do those…
