Early July Update

The WESTON Cardigan released last week is proving a big hit. The clean lines and easy construction makes it an ideal go to patten for any occasion. I have has a number of enquires about the cape clasp on this design and will be starting to stock them in the next few weeks once my suppliers are fully working after lockdown.

For those wanting to purchase a finished WESTON Cardigan.

I am now taking orders for commissioned work. drop me a line of the size and colour combination and I will be happy to provide you with a price and timeline for supply.

What’s coming over the next few months…..

Today I’ve been testing some prospective new designs for Applique cushions. Despite all 3 being a similar size the work involved in producing the finished product have vastly different levels of complexity and time consumption. Which all have to be taken into account when calculation the cost of finished products. Why not take a look at the lates range that are currently on sale.

Now lockdown is easing Camper Van lovers are planning their get away. why not buy one of my unique VW themed cushions to be the envy of fellow VW enthusiasts when out and about.

My update later in July will have a link to this cute Beret Pattern and for the first 2 weeks it will be FREE on my web site. so why not make sure you get a copy and join my mailing list to find out when its released.Displayed here on my cute sheep manakin, its designed to fit up to approx 2 years old. Knitted flat in 4ply, there is one simple seam down the back.

Watch out for the Astley release date.
