About

A Brief introduction to anyone I'm yet to meet; I knit from my studio in Devon. I drink far too much tea & eat way too much junk food. I'm besotted with my Cockapoo Harry who's a year and a half old. Last October I married my husband Alex after 10 years of getting to know each other & I started my business a few years ago having moved to Devon when Alex was offered a job at the airport & the rest is history...

A bit about my work - I use 100% Merino Wool which has to be the greatest material ever. Colour is everything, whether it's fabulous brights or fine neutrals, each one is effervescent in it's own way. I mainly make soft furnishings (particularly blankets) but like to branch out a bit too. Everything is hand knit on giant needles, I then hand process all the items to help with quality and lifespan.

*and exhale* If you'd like to know more then there's plenty more waffle on the About page and in my Blog, Happy exploring!

It’s nearly always great to push yourself and try to improve but sometimes it’s OK to just be you and see what happens.

Christmas In June

Jun 6, 2018

Christmas is a year-round event for a small business, especially a seasonal one like knitting. The more organised you are then the better it gets so I’m sharing my plans, systems and every questions I ask myself leading up to that time of year in the hopes it’ll help someone else who needs a plan.

I’m all about the giant knit swish (it’s heavier than it looks) but I’m ‘dancing for joy’ 😜 because I’ve FINALLY got the shopping feature thingy! Any other small businesses using and enjoying this? I need your knowledge - does it help?
🛒
And as if one tech upgrade isn’t enough for the day we’ve also got IGTV. I posted a video this morning for the lols just to see what it’s all about, what are you making of it all so far? (If you even have the update yet 🤷🏼‍♀️🙈)

I’m still recovering from Beyonce and Jay Z last night. It was absolutely incredible, I’m in total awe and feeling massive girl power 💪🏼 ... I’d like to say it rubbed off and I ‘slayed’ the day but actually I met friends for a waffle brunch, fan girled about ‘yonce and then drove 3 hours home to eat snacks.... I’ll Slay tomorrow Bey I promise 🙄🙈😂
👑 🐝
Hope you’ve all had a Wonderful weekend!

I don’t mean to brag but I’m seeing Beyoncé & Jay Z on Saturday and I’m just a *little* excited. .
Is anyone else going/been/wants to go?! I can’t wait!

The strangest thing happens when you ‘do something good’ and people congratulate you ... the fear sets in.
😳
When you work really hard to raise your own bar and then have to follow it up with something equally as good, it’s bloody scary. Whether it’s a corker of a Christmas product, a well received Instagram picture or a public announcement to exercise (these *might* be specific to my life) following that, genuinely fills me with fear.
🚲
So although I’m delighted- absolutely 100% thrilled - my last picture went down so well (thank you so much) the idea of following that with something as good filled me with pure panic and so I’m hiding from it. literally hiding.
🙈
Because, although it’s important we push ourselves to improve, I’ve also realised that sometimes it’s ok to not strive for ‘brilliance’ and it’s ok to just be who we are and share what we’re feeling.
🙄
So today, I’m either feeling like hiding... or I’m feeling like Casper, the friendly ghost. (Only friendly ghosts drink tea 🤷🏼‍♀️👌🏼)
👻
Tip of the day: don’t let the fear of not-being-good-enough stop you.
💪🏼
Boring speech over and out

I’m so ready for Summer now! And as you may know, I’ve been trying to find ‘my summer sport’ (mind you, summer may well be over by the time I find something I’m willing to stick to!) but as part of my search I recently took to the pool and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m certainly not taking any pictures while I’m actually swimming (no one needs to see that 😳🙊) but every time I see the Candy floss coloured yarn I say ‘I just want to swim in it!’ (Who knows why?! 🤷🏼‍♀️) so I though I would. After all, what better way to celebrate summer than diving into a pool of candy floss? So now I’ve tried swimming, rowing, spinning...next up... yoga? Cycling? Pole dancing? Who knows! 🤷🏼‍♀️💃#mycreativesummer_letscelebrate .

Not my usual feed-worthy post but I wanted to show you sooo 🤷🏼‍♀️👌🏼 One of my pals made the cardigan in light grey and I just HAAAD to try it on (with multiple outfits) this makes me so happy (and a little bit frantic/excited as you can tell by my crazy eyes just boring into your soul saying 'YAS') .
P.s I was out at the @craftfestival this evening so completely forgot to post this on time. But here it is, also you can check out my stories for some of my faves at the show 😍

Summer colours at the ready! Then let's be honest...Every summer leaves me clutching at straws to make all my products seasonal in some way... pink is basically all I have 🤣 and cushions, pink + cushions. 🤷🏼‍♀️ at least it's a nice combo. Any other chunky knit summer ideas and suggestions are more than welcome 🤞🏼😂🙈

*sigh* it's a hard life working from home 😜😜 not every day looks like this (by any means) but sometimes it really pays off 🙊
.
As of next week, if you're wondering where I am, I'll be here. Knitting and watching @loveisland. Who's watching it with me? I might even have to get back into twitter for the occasion. (Speaking of which, any twitter tips greatly appreciated- I just don't understand the bloody thing! It's a mystery to me)

Shop Cushions

Oblong, square, colourful, neutral, big, small, linen... there's plenty to choose from when it comes to chunky knit cushions, but thankfully, they're always Merino.
