Good Morning,

I didn’t get photos of all the cardigans yesterday as some are still in construction, but this gives you an idea of the beautiful work the class has been up to for the last 6 weeks. Well done everyone, the colours you have chosen really make the garments stand out and I hope you love wearing them once they are finished.
Today we are back onto knit and crochet social group and our new Stylecraft CAL Thursday group starts tomorrow. Exciting times working on a new project 💖

Open until 1pm today and we will be back early tomorrow and raring to go on the new class!

Good Morning,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. We ended up at the shop yesterday as you have kept us very busy with online orders over the weekend so we took a bit of time to sort through some. The rest will be done today, thank you very much.
Today we have our final crochet cardigan class and we will move on to the new crochet along next week. Hopefully I will get some pictures of these as the colours chosen, the way they were being put together and the styles, were just lovely.
I managed a little more unboxing too and we have a beautiful nursery range of some lovely ducks. Hopefully they will be online later.
Of course I will be in early and we will be open as normal until 2:30pm so you can come in and stock up after the long weekend!

Good Morning,

We will be staying open until 2pm today, maybe a bit later if you are still keeping me busy! Just to make sure you are all stocked up and ready for the long weekend as we will be closed until Tuesday (and I skipped off early yesterday!)
Anyway, today is monthly embroidery part 2 from 10am.
I unboxed another one yesterday and we have the super cute Happy Ween characters back in with plenty of time for you to make before Halloween and we also have some lovely crochet flower kits too. Perfect crafts for the long weekend!
Have a fabulous weekend whatever you are doing. 💖

Good Morning,

Another 10 hour day yesterday to get another wall updated in the shop and it was definitely worth it! We now have a place to show off the hand dyed yarns and display some more of our pattern books while keeping the gorgeous Emma Ball goodies on display too 💖
Today we have our monthly embroidery group just as it looks like we will be moving into cooler temperatures very soon and adding some different colours back into our pictures again! 10am today and same for Saturday group tomorrow.
A little reminder we will be closed by 12:30pm today but back early tomorrow morning for any final stash stock up before the bank holiday weekend! Obviously we will be closed on Sunday and Monday so do make sure you are well stocked for the weekend!

Good Morning,
Today we have our final Thursday finishing project session before we move on to the new Stylecraft CAL next week. I have 3 packs left if you would like a pack without joining a class or we have a social Saturday next week where I will be starting a few people off joining us randomly as we can’t commit to every Saturday. Just get in touch if you would like more information.

I make no apologies for posting Christmas fabrics - they are Liberty and they are gorgeous! But we will also be moving some fabrics around in the shop next week to show off our Halloween fabrics and bring more Christmas fabrics out onto the shelves too. This has mainly been the contents of our deliveries over the last month or so and I like to keep them back until the summer holidays are done with as the festive season goes on a bit too long already! So keep an eye out for those.

It’s another early start today and we are doing a few renovations later, so we will be in late, but the door will be locked. Just give us a knock if you want it! Official closing will be 2:30pm as normal.
Tomorrow (Friday) we will be closing at 12:30pm after embroidery class, but we will be in later on Saturday to make sure you can stock up for the longer weekend.

Good Morning,

Another box removed yesterday and we have a restock of the beautiful PomPon yarn. This is always popular for those gorgeous textured baby blankets - with or without a border, they are lovely and warm and feel really soft….a quick make too once you get started.
Lots of different colours now in stock.

This morning we have our knit and crochet social group from 10am. It’s crazy to believe it is our last one of the school holidays, where did that time go!
We are open until 1pm today and back early on Thursday morning for more box unloading hopefully!

Good Morning,

Thank you so much for all the comments and messages on the bags. The panels for the tiger and denim patchwork are completely sold out, I only have the Market Garden tote bag left in stock. More classes are coming up for one day sessions, I just need time to get the projects done!
Speaking of classes, the Stylecraft CAL for the Love Letters to Autumn blanket is SOLD OUT on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have a couple of spaces if anyone else would like to get started with us on Saturday 5th September, do let me know asap. (This will not be a regular class, but will be part of social groups and I am on hand for any assistance) it does mean I may have a couple of packs spare if anyone is looking for one so they can do it in their own time.

Today is the penultimate part of our crochet cardigan class, final part next week and then we move into the blanket….busy time ahead!
I will be in early and I’m there until 2:30pm today as normal 😊

Good Morning,

We had a very successful Sunday Sessions class yesterday with all but one bag completed. The missing one was taken home to do additional stitching to the patchwork design before it is put together. I have since had a couple of finished pictures from Fridays group too. Very well done ladies it was a lovely couple of classes.
Today I don’t have any classes in so I am back to sorting out and moving boxes, hopefully getting them emptied! And then next week we will have a change around and get more of our seasonal fabrics out etc.
I will be in early and will be closing at 2:30pm as normal 😊

Good Morning,

After being pulled in 17 different directions while trying to assist with bag class yesterday, some of us got there! Mixed in with machine issues, time restraints and a great idea for handles, there were a few successes and some additions! If anyone would like to come back tomorrow when we are having a lock in so can get the project done, then do let me know and I will book you in 😊
Today we have Social Saturday back on the agenda as we have embroidery back next week too.
You are keeping us wonderfully busy, so thank you very much but next week is the Bank Holiday weekend so make sure you stock up …..this is your one weeks notice!
I will be in early today then closing at 1pm. If anyone does need in the shop tomorrow, we will be in for a class from 11am - 1pm so let me know today and I can make arrangements.
Have a wonderful weekend 😊

Good Morning,

After almost a 12 hour day yesterday and more boxes arriving, the Huggable is restocked, 100% cotton, 4ply Rico cotton, ricorumi and a few other bits and bobs! The new Halloween and flowers crochet books are also in stock and yes, the most important part…..new gel pens just in time for start of school, new job, new term or just because they are new pens….do we need a reason!? 😉

Today is our first sold out bag class with another one on Sunday and Saturday social tomorrow in between! It really has been all go this week and I love it! Thank you for keeping us super busy 💖
Open until 2:30pm today and I definitely won’t be staying late as I have a paperwork afternoon booked in!
