The wait is nearly over for our long-anticipated weekend with Aimée Gille of La Bien Aimée and Sini Kramer of Laine Publishing, taking place next weekend on Saturday 30 April and Sunday 1 May. There is so much to celebrate — new books, great yarns, beautiful patterns, distinguished designers — and we are getting more excited every day!

One of our very favourite things to make by hand are Toys. There is something so special about crafting a sweet little critter for a beloved child⁠—or a beloved grown-up! Each stitch has so much love in it the end result is sure to be treasured.

Let’s get right down to it: is there a craftier holiday than Easter? Between embellishing Easter bonnets, dyeing eggs, and adorning beautiful baskets with darling ribbons, it seems like everyone has their hands busy with something this time of year. Here’s what we’re hoping the Easter Bunny will drop in our baskets next weekend!

This week we’re celebrating the wonderful Weepaca from Big Bad Wool. If you’ve ever used it before you’ll know what a treat it is, and with the arrival of a lovely delivery in a huge selection of colours now is the perfect time to play with some of our favourite Weepaca patterns!

As the first month of the year draws to a close, and with COVID cases looking to be declining, we are so excited to re-open our shop in London from Wednesday 2 February! We’ll still have precautions in place (more on which below), but we can’t wait to see all our lovely customers in our cosy space.

We love the optimism of the beginning of the year. It’s the perfect time to start a new project or make a new plan, to review the achievements of the previous 12 months and set goals for the next cycle. And in that spirit, we are so excited to be launching a gorgeous new website around 20 January!
