Last chance for advents!! Orders will close this evening for the Cookston Crafts Advent Calendar. These will ship at the beginning of November and prices start at £50. #adventcalendar #christmasadvent #adventyarn #yarnadventcalendar #yarn

This new colourway is all skeined up and ready to be packed for @lochnessknitfest tomorrow.
Ailsa was given this postcard in Finland last year on her birthday and I’ve always loved the colours, so this one is called HUHULI. The print is by the talented artist Aino-Maija Metsola.
Two skeins might have gone into the stash already! 🤫🤫🤫 If there are any left then they’ll be in the shop update planned for Monday 21st Oct.

Here’s a new colourway called ‘Borealis’
If you are interested in hearing how the sparkles are added head over to my stories 🦄💭😂 Lots of new colours will be added to the website on Monday 21st Oct.

The Shetland Mist Blanket Kits have been available for a while now but I thought they needed a bit of a refresh. 🌈
So I’ve put together some new colour packs in case pastels aren’t your thing. 🌈
You can now choose from brights, pinks, blues or the original pastels and there’s an option to buy a bigger pack too.

This crochet blanket is a great winter project for intermediate crocheters or beginners who are ready to progress on to some new stitches.
Available online now or at @lochnessknitfest on Fri and Sat this week.

I’ve wanted to crochet this Nessy for a while now and always ran out of time in previous years.
Well she’s ready this year and the Outlander colourway seemed like the perfect colour. 😀 🦕

Meet Nessy in person this Friday at @lochnessknitfest !!!! #lochnessmonster #nessy #inverness #scotland #lochnessknitfest #haveyouseenthelochnessmonster #crochet #amigurumi #crochetnessy

This time next week I’ll be at @lochnessknitfest in the marketplace. It’s open 10-6pm on the Friday and Saturday. Looking forward to it! I’m trying to work out if I can squeeze in a workshop too....😜 #lochnessknitfest #lnkf2019 #lochness #knitfest #inverness #highlands #scotland

Travelling home today after a great few days off. Planning a big dye day this weekend so I’m ready for @lochnessknitfest on Friday (a week today!) This one is called ‘Bothy’ on Merino 4 ply.

A wee holiday treat! 😍 I think I have a thing for lavender and mauve right now. I’ve wanted a skein of @uschitita forever!!! This one is called Vintage Lavendel and it is a stunner. So glad I had time to visit @yarnoverberlin 😍

I didn’t expect to sell any of these project bags at Yarndale last weekend but they sold out and raised a few smiles! 😊
They’re now back in stock on the website and I’ll have some with me at @lochnessknitfest on 17th and 18th October.
The perfect gift for you know what! 🙈🤫 #projectbags #projectbag #knitter #knittinggift #doric # scottish #scots #hudyerwheesht #aberdeen #aberdonian #doricsaying #scottishsaying #lochnessknitfest #yarndale #xmasgift

Head’s up!! The next few weeks are going to be busy.... Last orders for the Oct yarn club which is rust themed will be 8th Oct and it will ship around 21st Oct.

I’ll be vending at @lochnessknitfest on Fri 18th and Sat 19th October.

I’m away for a few days next week and although the website will remain open for orders, no parcels will ship until Sat 12th Oct, apart from a post office run tomorrow morning. While I’m away I’m going to try to switch off a bit too so will reply to all messages on the 12th.
Any neckwarmer orders will be ready for collection / delivery by Mon 28th Oct.

Then it’ll be full steam ahead with the advent calendars!! Last orders for these will be Sat 19th Oct and I hope to ship them all beginning of Nov.
I’ve had a few enquiries about workshops but I’m afraid I won’t have any new ones listed until all of this is done. There’s plans for both an evening and day time beginners crochet class but I need to work out the dates in Nov.

Thanks for all your support, it means so much. I love being busy but I am sooooooo ready for a wee break away! Xxx

How did we get to October already?! I’ve already had a few requests for the fleecy neckwarmers, so I’ve spent this morning updating stock levels on the website.

These are great for kids who won’t wear scarves and as they are stretchy, one size fits all from about age 4 upwards. I’m going to do some plainer adult ones too, although the mustard alpacas are my current fave!
These are all made to order, £10 each and the first batch will be ready from Mon 28th October.
If you are local, just pop COLLECT in the voucher code for free shipping but I’d appreciate it if everyone uses the website for orders as it’s much easier for me to keep track. 😊

I’m back home from a brilliant weekend at @yarndale. So many lovely people came to say hi and my friend Michelle and I had a ball! Thank you to everyone who braved the epic rainfall. 🌧🌧🌧🌧 There are a few colourways that I need to photograph this week but the website has been updated and includes a few skeins of this new colourway called Capsicum.
There’s a few colourways I need to restock before @lochnessknitfest on Fri 18th & Sat 19th October and then it’ll be all systems go to get the Advent Calendars orders dyed. Orders for these will close on Sat 19th Oct.

What a great day we had yesterday at @yarndale!
Thanks so much to all who came to squish and buy yarn and a humungous thanks to Michelle who has been an amazing help this weekend.
And we get to do it all again today! 10-4.30pm. 😊

All set up for @yarndale tomorrow!
So glad that bit is done and we can just enjoy the day tomorrow.
The teddy bear mountain is huge! Anne, can you spot your little guy in there?? #yarndale #yarndale2019 #yarnfestival #skipton

Spot the stowaway!! 😂😂😂 To be fair, the foot well in the drivers side is probably the only spare space I have.
We are officially full to the gunnels!!! Hoping for an easy 6 hour drive to @yarndale!!!!!!!! Doesn’t eveyone travel with a screwdriver in their cup holder?! #yarndale #stowaway #springerspaniel #stanleythespringer #yarndale2019 #fullyloaded #roadtrip #yarnfestival

As soon as I finished my Ranunculus Sweater I cast on another one in green for my best chum. I wanted to do one exactly as the pattern suggested to see if I really could make it from one skein and Diane requested this gorgeous green.
This was made with one skein of the yak silk base which is only 366 metres. It’s so different from the one I knitted with mohair but perfect still for layering.
Nervous knitting and big needles meant this was knitted in less than a week. 😳

Ranunculus Sweater by Midori House @knit_cafe_midori available on @hi.ravelry
Yarn is 100g 4 ply / fingering weight 60% merino 20% silk 20% yak in the colourway ‘Emerald’

Not long now!
I’ll be closing the online shop and etsy this weekend while I’m at Yarndale. The last post will go out on Wednesday and it’ll be middle of next week before I get a stocktake done.
