On Summer Vacation 9th – 16th July.

Thank you for participating in the Indieburgh Craft Crawl on Saturday, it was so lovely to see new and old faces!

The shop will be closed between 9th – 16th July inclusive for a short holiday. I will re-open on Wednesday 17th July, at 10.30 -5.00pm as usual, sorry for the inconvenience.

I have received a delivery of the latest Chiaogoo Blue Twist Flexi Shorties sets, but I can only send out after my return from holidays. They are £85.00 each, I also have spare cables and 8cm tips. I have a few sets left.

Making No 7 – Desert

The latest Making magazine  is now available to purchase in the shop or online. Making is always packed with the most interesting projects to sew, quilt, knit, crochet and make!

For convenience and for a limited time, if you just want to purchase the latest issue, I have added a PayPal button below, price below includes 1st Class UK postage for this issue. (This offer is for shipping to UK only, I will need to adjust postage if shipping to Europe). I will post to your registered PayPal address.   (As it is the Easter weekend, I will send out as soon as the post office re-opens on Tuesday.)

I am currently updating my,  new online shop,  where I have uploaded more back issues, so if you are looking for back issues of Making magazines, you will find them there.

Friday, 8th June 2018 – Shop Closed and New Arrivals.

The shop will be closed on Friday, 8th June 2018, as I will be moving house on the day and will re-open again on Saturday morning, as usual.

Just arrived the latest Amirisu magazine from Japan, in a new A4 format and now completely in English.  This issue also features  – “Loie” a shawl pattern by Edinburgh based designer and tutor – Maddie Harvey,

I have just received a few sets of Chiaogoo’s New Red Lace Twist “Shorties”.  This new system looks so  amazingly cute, neat and tiny.  They are perfect for knitting socks and sleeves, and for small circumferences in the round and especially for people who do not like using DPNs.  The combo tips will be sold separately later in the year.
