✨🍄 Tiny Glimmers of Magic 🦆✨

Over the past few weeks, Katie Wood and I have been finding the most delightful little surprises around Knitters Paradise at Coldspring Mill. Hidden amongst the yarn in the wool shop, tucked away in unexpected corners, and even popping up in the outdoor clothing shop, tiny ducks and mushrooms have been appearing as if by magic.

What started as a random discovery has become part of our working week. Every time one of us spots a new little glimmer, there's an immediate message, a quick dash over to see it, and a shared moment of excitement. Each find feels like another chapter in an ongoing treasure hunt.

These tiny treasures might seem insignificant, but they've brought so much joy, curiosity, and laughter to our days. It's amazing how something so small can brighten a shift and remind us that kindness and whimsy still exist in the world.

So, to whoever has been secretly leaving these little ducks and mushrooms around Cold Spring Mill —thank you ❤️ You've turned ordinary workdays into a magical scavenger hunt, and we look forward to every new discovery. 🦆🍄✨

Have you found any of these little glimmers around the mill?

☀️🧶 Dedicated Crochet Club today…and even 33°C didn’t put this lot off! 🥵💖

The hooks were still flying, yarn was still flowing, and the chatter definitely carried on regardless of the heat! From beautiful works in progress to show-and-tell moments (and one absolutely fabulous bright summer crochet top 😍 in Sirdar, Jewelspun Ombre), it was another brilliant afternoon spent with a wonderful group of people.

Crochet, friendship, creativity and a lot of determination in tropical temperatures! 🌸✨

Thank you everyone for coming along — back on Thursday in Hebden Bridge and same time next week for our Tuesday club… maybe with extra fans and ice lollies! 😂

Quite the journey captured in these photos.

The first time I saw this piece, it arrived in a bin liner. Fragile doesn’t even begin to cover it — every touch, every movement caused it to come apart just a little bit more. It would have been very easy to say it was beyond saving.

But Melanie saw something worth preserving. And that mattered.

What followed was over two years of careful, patient restoration. Hundreds of hours. Unpicking, stabilising, recreating, reinforcing… and sometimes just sitting with it, figuring out the next tiny step forward. There were moments it felt endless, moments I questioned whether it would ever truly come back together.

But yesterday, it went home.

Whole. Strong. Beautiful again.

This project taught me a lot — not just technically, but personally. Mostly, it taught me to keep going, even when progress feels invisible. Because sometimes the work that matters most is the slowest, quietest kind.

Huge thanks to Melanie for trusting me with something so precious, for her patience over such a long journey, and for having the foresight to save it in the first place.

Restorations like this aren’t quick. They aren’t easy. But they are always, always worth it.
