Lace Cast Off

This week, we've shown three different customers how to knit the lace bind off. It's strong, but yet elastic. 

It is great to use to cast off stitches on shawls, on lace, for toe-up socks, the sweater necks for little ones, etc. It's easy to do, and produces great results. 

Shell Top Inspired by The Great British Sewing Bee

Fiona, from Make It Sew, has set herself a challenge, to make something each week from The Great British Sewing Bee. She has completed the shell top from last week's program, using one of our viscose/spandex fabrics.

Your top looks brilliant.

Here's luck 'n a fair wind t' ye, lovely scallywags. Alison's needles 'ave been busy - the result, a pirate sweater fer her grandson. Shiver me timbers!

Knitted Dolls

Pat Larkam has been busy during lockdown. Look at the curls on this doll!

We Are Open!

It feels as if we have barely been open this year. We came back from the Christmas holidays, and were open for 3 days before the second lockdown. This lasted until the 1st of February. But, by the 3rd of March, it was back into lockdown. It's just been lifted today!

We are ready and waiting to welcome you back.

We Are Opening Again!

On Monday, the 19th of April, at 9.00am, we will be opening our doors again!

It will be a delight to welcome you back into the shop. We have missed you.

Macrame Is Back

Rachel's fingers have been busy during lockdown. Here's her very first attempt at macrame.  It looks great, all ready for a lovely trailing plant.

We have a number of macrame books in stock, along with rings, dowels, beads and cords. When we are able to re-open come along and explore the macrame goodies.
