31st March

It is the end of another month and after more howling gales and rain yesterday we have some sunshine this morning. This is the view from my office window, taken early in the morning. Spring seems to come and go, I can't believe it is Easter already and we have only sat outside in the garden once so far this year!

Rowan have a free pattern on their website for a cute Easter Bunny knitted in Rowan Revive if you want a quick project.

Very excited about the new range 'Rowan by Amy Butler'. I have just got the shade card and the colours are fab.

The DK comes in a range of 16 shades and the aran in 12, the lovely vivid shades compliment the colours used in the Amy Butler fabrics. There is pattern support in Amy Butler's Midwest Modern Knits and the designs include lovely flowing garments, accessories and homeware. All due in stock early April.

Debbie Bliss Amalfi and ecobaby organic cotton

It is a wet miserable Saturday evening and I am off to snuggle up in front of the TV with my knitting. We had a big delivery yesterday of Debbie Bliss Amalfi and Ecobaby, so I am now dithering between knitting something for myself in Amalfi or something in Ecobaby for one of the grandchildren........

Domino knitting workshop

We have just finished a great workshop with Fiona Morris as tutor. The concentration levels from upstairs could be felt through the floor, I wish I could hav joined in, but have spent the day updating new stock arrivals on the website.
