New stockist

Today i sent off an order to Black Box Boutique in Edinburgh. Below is a selection of the products that will be swinging their way to Scotland later today:

I have been so busy with orders and getting all my paper work done I forgot to blog last week... So i will double blog this week with all my news :)

Be sure to check out Black Box Boutique in the next few weeks to see my work :D

Commissions and knitting

So this week I finished a commission of two of my mountains cushions in a grey charcoal combination both 50 x 50 cm. They turned out really well, and has made me think I should add larger cushion sizes later in the year. The colour combination worked really well and I am creating it in this colour combo for a new stockist, that should be available from the end of July.

Also this week I fixed my knit machine, a small part of it broke 2 weeks ago and I got the spare part on Friday, I was very nervous about fixing it myself as I have never done it before, but luckily it went very smoothly and now I feel very confident about fixing anything on my machine that breaks in the future.

Also today I get a new motor for my machine, I'm very excited, I have been searching for a new motor for months and now it is almost here!

This week brings lots of knitting for new stockists, and designing a cushion for a commission, plus designing a fabric for upholstering a chair, so busy busy!

Critters

I have just delivered a box of critters to a new stockist. I added a few extra colour combinations and a new critter, Daisy. 

The new stockist is a webshop based in the Hague and the critters should be for sale on it very soon!

Knitting and stuff :)

So this week has been a busy one. My yarn finally arrived, opening the box to see so many full cones of beautifully coloured lambswool was exciting.

New yarn, so pretty!

I immediately started knitting orders for a new stockist, a collection of 8 critters. New colour schemes are being introduced and there is a new critter in the gang (more info in next weeks blog!)  It's really exciting to be working on orders and I can't wait to have my critters in new shops and going off to new homes.

Also this week my knit machine decided to break, leaving me in a major panic, after 12 hours of try to fix it, getting quotes on getting a new part I discovered the good news that I can fix it myself. So next week I will be learning another new skill, Knit machine fixing and maintenance! It's one thing I love about being a designer maker, everyday I learn something new.

This week I also received exciting information regarding my work, more to come in the next few months. New labels for my critters and the discovery that I can work all hours of the day just to produce lots of little felted toys. It has been a fun week.

Next week I hope to have a new critter to introduce and hopefully reveal some of my new stockists.
