Full shelves and full tummies

Quick Catch Up
​

It is Friday and the sun is shining here in North London - I hope that wherever you are in the world that your weekend is looking bright and exciting too! I don't have a huge amount to tell you about this week, but I do have a couple of updates that you might be interested in..... ​

​Janie Crow Kits Back in Stock

Quite a few of my project kits have been out of stock on the web site for a long time. This is due to certain shades of yarn being out of stock at Stylecraft and other yarn companies. Thankfully this week we received a delivery that included some of the missing shades, so we have been able to make up lots of kits. ​

Lily Pond, Fields of Gold, Summer Palace and Bohemian Blooms are all now back in stock and you can find kits by clicking on the images above. 
 ​

Full shelves are a rarity here so I took a quick snap to show that it does happen from time to time!
 

​Love is Enough

Last week the kits for the new 'Love is Enough' colour way of my Fruit Garden CAL project sold out in no time and I have had lots of you asking where you can get kits from as we are unlikely to have them back in stock for a while. I know that there is still a good stock holding on the Wool Warehouse site and you can find a link to their kits here.

​Omega Cushion

As you know, I love seeing your versions of my projects pop up on social media and I especially like it when you have made changes to a design or used your own colour way. This week I found this gorgeous image of a cushion cover made by Hazel Raven, which in turn led me to look at her fabulous projects on her Instagram feed which you can find by following this link.

Hazel has used the Omega motif from my Bohemian Blooms project and has used her left over yarn shades from the Fruit Garden CAL to make this lovely cover. Hazel has also added beads and used the border patterns from the CAL to add her own special design elements to the cushion cover. Isn't it lovely!

​It's Nearly the Weekend!

​We are hoping to spend some time in the garden over the weekend. I am always sad when the summer is coming to an end, but there are still some splashes of colour in the garden and it is good to keep on top of the falling leaves and straggly plants before the colder weather sets in. We have quite a lot of windfall apples dropping from our neighbour's tree so I am hoping there might be enough to make a crumble for desert one day. I do love wintery meals like casseroles and mashed potato, especially when there is a delicious pudding to look forward to too! 

I was inspired by the first episode of 'The Great British Bake Off' to make a Pineapple Upside-down cake this week and it was so scrummy! I used this recipe.
 

This weekend I am also really looking forward to starting work on the Stephen West mystery knit along project - MKAL20. The first set of patterns have been revealed today so I am planning to settle down on the settee at 5.30pm to get involved in his Instagram Live Launch Party. I have my yarn and needles at the ready and am looking forward to seeing everyone else's progress too - I can't wait to see the colour combinations that people decide to do. I am a bit out of practice with my knitting so I am hoping I can keep up - I will let you know how I get on!

Don't forget you can email us to let us know if you want any questions answered in next month's video Q&A. See you soon and take care....
