Blowing your own trumpet

I was really please to have two of my marker designs featured in two knitting magazines this month.

Tasty beans were in Simply Crochet

Mixed fruits were in The Knitter

Many thanks to all of you that saw them and ordered them!

Cats


It's been a tough time in the Crafty Cat household. First we lost Mishka to cancer, then a week later we came home to find his brother Fyodor had died. Then a week after that we had a phone call at 3am to say Mr Stripe had been hit by a car and despite all best efforts we had to let him go too. 
They're all much missed. 
Make sure you cuddle your cats every day as you never know what's around the corner.

 Mr Stripe June 2011- Sept 2013
Fyodorovich & Mishka June 1999- August 2013

..........the stitch markers!

It's taken me a while to finally come up with the perfect marker pouch. Relatively easy to make and embellish and perfectly uniquely useful!



Made from eco felt which is in turn made from recycled plastic bottles, so not only are they good for the planet, but good for keeping your markers safe in your project bag. Plans afoot for a DPN case and circular case too.

Available on Etsy now.
