Thrapple

“Aw! In the name of the Wee Man! Your thrapple is out!”

This was the cry of my wee Glasgow mammy* when I came through her door one day when the wind was blowing and the air was chilly.

I hadn’t heard the phrase before, so the first time she said it I checked to make sure I hadn’t had some dreadful wardrobe malfunction

How was everyone’s Wool Week?

I have just visited randomresults.com to draw the winner of the wonderful Made By Ewe knitted sheep kit!

Knitting with Jacobs

Having played about with washable yarns recently I felt the need to get a bit sheepy and went stash-diving for a breed specific yarn.

Knititis

I am suffering from two well known knitter’s ailments. I have had them separately, but they have compounded on me this time.

I’ve definitely got startitis and a bout of “I want to knit all the things!!!” I can’t help that so many beautiful patterns are catching my eye and being recently released!

Wee heads up for ewe

Just a very quick post to tell you that Made by Ewe have a new website. You may remember Linda was over here at KnitBritish a wee while ago talking about her beautiful 100% British Wool kits.  Her new shop site is up and running and to celebrate she has something special for you! Check out her blog!

Approaching Autumn

Even though I have never particularly enjoyed the creeping darkness at this time of year – from long, light Shetland summer evenings to unending darkness in winter – I do love the colours that surround us in autumn

British Wool: Made by Ewe

Linda from Made by Ewe got in touch recently to tell me all about her adventures in local fibre and as soon as I saw her delightful kits I knew that I had to ask her over to KnitBritish for a little visit.
