Any knitter / crocheter will tell you that one of

Any knitter / crocheter will tell you that one of the most important packing rituals for holiday prep is the PROJECT.
All these tips apply to the holiday at the beach, caravan in Wales, a day in the park and a day just not working, make the most of it!
Kit list;
1. A good project bag. I have recently bought this one from @treddlingwoman it’s perfect for a sock / small project and I love it. It’s perfectly made, tabs, handles, size, compact, excellent.
2. Yarn choice. Sock yarn, a contrast mini, (I’m enjoying working my way through @summer.lee.knits sock patterns)Go to my shop or;
3. For a larger project and I’m going to start @westknits #speckleandpop soon, get a bigger bag and wind those cakes ready.
4. Pattern, notions, needles and hooks. Print your pattern and feel free to scribble on it, highlighter pen it, stick washi tape on it, whatever you want! Pop all those additional treasures in your bag too.
5. Pack some treats in your bag, sweeties, gum, coins for the bar…unfortunately never chocolate, if it melts it’s holiday heartbreak early into the romance.

If you’re stuck on yarn choices for your holiday packing don’t forget I’m at the @makersattvmill on Sunday, ready and waiting to help you with your holiday packing, no project is too small or large!

One skein of sock yarn and a smidge of mini skein

One skein of sock yarn and a smidge of mini skein makes more than a pair of shortie socks, two pairs I reckon, at least, super good value when we’re feeling the pinch.
🧦
I’m one sock down and another on the go and the fit is like a dream, and of course, there’s not the excessive leg knitting and who wants a long sock in summer?
🧶🪡
*What you need*
1. Skein of sock yarn, tagged in photo and swipe for more inspiration.
2. Optional, a mini skein which I will be bringing to @makersattvmill on Sunday.
3. Sock needles, I use @addi_by_selter but use your chosen sock needle.
4. Darning needle
👩‍🍳🧑‍🍳
*Method*
1. I’ve used the Weekend Shorty Socks pattern by @summer.lee.knits
2. Hide, find the time, relax, switch off and have some essential mindful knitting.
🎉
Make, pronto, enjoy!!!

If you can’t come to the @makersattvmill on Sunday and would like a mini skein to go with your sock yarn, please message me and we can select one to match your project 💛

Oh the places that you can knit.
I pushed my knitting bag up my life jacket and paddled out on the lake then found a little cove where I could Bob up and down just me and my sock…to avoid the nagging dog who wanted the ball throwing into the water for the 548th time. How far will you go for a little private knitting time? 🤣

As much as I love the bonkers bright colours, I love the dark, moody colours that’s nature inspires.
It wouldn’t be right not to have a LLanddona yarn, named after the beach we love and visit often. I love it in winter; the dark skies and swaying grasses, a bit like yesterday but end June 🤦‍♀️

I’ll be taking a selection to @makersattvmill next Sunday, are you coming?

It’s National Pink Day and I totally approve, obviously!

So here are some pink skeins from my shop, blue plays a big part too, but pink I have to say is bigger. It’s brash, bold, energetic, gentle, soothing, fresh and more. And a big hit, I’ve said it before, in one of my favourite films, Pretty in Pink.

💕Happy PINK Day!! 💕

I’ll be at the @makersattvmill Summer event Sunday 3rd July 10am-4pm, why don’t you come and say hello?
❤️
I can help with holiday packing, yes really, whether you need a small hand luggage sock project, a larger multi skein project for an Airbnb hideaway or for those precious days off work and total switch off, I will be there to help you find the yarn for you and your project.
💙
Come and see me for colours, textures and yarn comfort, if you don’t knit or crochet then come and see what you’re missing
💚
It’s a cracking venue! If you love industrial history, love an old mill, and seeing some heritage then @torrvalemills is great for mooching about, an old textiles mill always has a story.
Also also, it’s home to @the_shrubclub a chilled space to eat and drink and only down the road from @wiseheartandwild so all in all, a fab day out.

Thank you to Annie and Kate for a really lovely afternoon at @wiseheartandwild today.
It was so lovely to meet new faces, see friends and introduce Mamie and Florrie yarns to the community.

New Mills has a great selection of independent shops and @wiseheartandwild is an amazing hub for weaving, spinning and yarn with classes and community at it’s heart.

Swipe to see @wildspinster Tencel yarns too, absolutely beautiful 💛
Thank you for a lovely afternoon and I can’t wait to see the products of those purchases, enjoy the make and see you soon!

Here’s a fine selection of beautiful mohair and brights that I’m taking to @wiseheartandwild on Sunday.
🧶
Don’t think mohair is just for cold days, it’s a wonderful light and gently warm fibre. Combined with another yarn you can build up colour, warmth and fluff but alone as a single or double ply you can make gossamer thin blouses such as the #cumulousblouse by @petiteknit or doubled the latest @westknits shawl #rainorshineshawl
🧶
Come and have a look on Sunday, the beauty of hand dyed is there’s little jewels of colour hidden in every ply, heaven.
