Hello lovelies!
|
How are you all doing in this early summer weather? Isn't it lovely to see the sunshine and with those lighter evenings, there seems more day to do things in.
|
|
Have you got projects on the go that are portable so you can complete them in the garden? Or do you need some inspiration? I've got lots of exciting arrivals to show you, so grab yourself a cuppa (and maybe a biscuit), and lets get stuck in!

Limited Edition...crazy colour changing yarn!

|
|
Calling all summer projects - we recommend this lovely crazy colour changing yarn!

Fi's personal favourite is...
|
It's a one ball project - it's also a sock yarn and can be used for any 4ply projects.

How are you all doing with your projects? Have you been tempted away from them by the sunshine? Or have you taken them with you?

This Zick Zack scarf 👆 is a free ravelry download (download here) which I've made using up scraps of sock yarn/4ply from my stash. I've made this three times now and every time it looks amazing no matter what its knit in.
|
|
And I've got lots more projects in the pipeline...so many gorgeous summery colours of yarn to choose from! Let's hope I complete something rather than add to the WIP pile! 😂

My top tip this month...
Blocking your work once it's been knitted or crochet gives a really professional finish and helps open out any lacework and straighten up any wonky seams etc.
|
|
We also sell blocking pins and blocking combs in the shop, so do pop in and have a look.

Look at these gorgeous summer colours!

Lang Jawoll Silk Superwash.
|
|

Pay it forward
We know and work with so many amazing small businesses, that we decided to have this section to share them with all of you 😊

It's an absolute gem of a shop which sells everything you could possible need relating to cooking and food prep/serving etc and also has fruit, veg, store cupboard staples, speciality ice-creams and gorgeous staff headed up by Tanya who is the owner.
|
|
It's run on their farm too which also has a fantastic camp site and cottages to rent. It's idyllic.
|
|
|
|
That's it for this edition - lots packed in again and hopefully, your brew hasn't gone cold whilst you've been reading. 😁
|
Good luck with all your summer project planning and do pop in the shop if you have any questions or want to squish some yarn!
