Hot off the Hook & new in store

Hot off the Hook!

Coraline (Ravelry link) by Agnieszka Reduch is a stunning design, top down, and with excellent instructions!

I used BC Garn Bio Balance and a strand of Stellaris for that little bit of bling! I'm looking forward to wearing it once the temperature warms up, but for now it's proudly displayed in store!

This was a really fun and engaging design, I loved having the detail on the hem to work at the end, something to look forward to after all the plain rounds of the body.

I always enjoy making things from different designers as you expand your knowledge of different ideas and methods. I will be making another top from this designer mind, Dalia (Ravelry link), in the Lana Gatto Fresh pure linen, which I'm really looking forward to starting.

New in store: Lang Baby Cotton

We've another addition to our Summer yarn collection! Lang Baby (because it's oh so soft) Cotton! 100% cotton, Sport weight, 180m per 50g, and we've got over 20 colours for you to choose from. This yarn would work well for any fingering or sport weight design.

Polkett by Linnea Ornstein. Linnea designs some FABULOUS short row colourwork pieces, and I really must make a design by them too!

Design wild card 1: Portia by Kaffe Fassett. This is only available in a Rowan publication, it's pretty fab, not sure I can imagine knitting a thigh length colourwork cardigan on 3.25mm needles, but you know, whatever floats your boat.

Design wild card 2: Fresh as a Daisy Dress by Cassie Ward. I love the retro colours and vibe of this dress, this one is also only available in a magazine.

On Nancy's hook!

Our Nancy couldn't resist a skein or 4 of our new Handmaiden Flyss, it leapt onto her hook and she's making Cabanarama (Ravelry link) by Julia Madill. The pattern is only available in the first edition of Let's Crochet magazine by Laine Publishing.

New classes added

As requested the Intro to Ricorumi Amigurumi workshop is back, and the Card Deck workshop sold our pretty quick so I've added another one!
