Tea time in Fintry, Scotland

Snow outside, tea and buns inside, roaring log fire, a little bit of knitting and baby granddaughter over to visit. How lovely.

What an outfit!

Found this pattern sent down by Hellie ages ago and couldn't resist sharing it with you. I think we all need an outfit like this for winter.

Debbie Bliss spring/summer magazine

A little preview of the new Debbie Bliss mag now in stock. Lovely patterns using aran, dk, 4ply and new Eco Baby. I particularly like the Guernsey style tote bag. A bargain at £4.50

At last, a sunny day

The sun came pouring in and made us smile. (Yesterday that is - today it's raining again!)

Yarn news

Eco Baby is a new yarn from Debbie Bliss. 100% organic fairtrade cotton, it knits to the same tension as Baby Cashmerino and comes in 16 sorbet shades. There is also a new Eco Baby book with patterns for babies from 3 - 36 months. You can also knit up your favourite patterns from Baby Cashmerino books 1, 2 and 3 for a fresh summer feel.

We had a lovely Knit and Chat this morning. Much laughter and a little bit of knitting. From left to right; Debbie, Jo, Linda, Carolyn and Dany. Hellie joined us from afar, knitting by the fireside in Fintry. How cosy!
