98 days until Christmas...

So I'm back from my summer holiday (a rather late summer holiday) and am feeling relaxed and excited to be knitting again. It's now the time of year where Christmas gifts and decorations are starting to appear on the shelves and Victoria Logan Knitted Textiles is making a small Christmas collection that will be ready and online in the next two weeks. I can't wait to show everyone my festive designs, and I'm enjoying working in christmasy colours and with gold and silver ribbions :D I will blog about the new products soon so keep your eyes peeled!

On another note I was on holiday in my beautiful homeland Scotland and did some colour research for next years colour ways. Here are some pictures of the inspirational landscape that Scotland has to offer!

So in 2013 you will be seeing some of these colours added to the collection and some new products inspired by them :)

Publicity

I decided this year that I would go full time with my business, and make my dream come true of being my own boss and creating beautiful textiles. Since June things have really started to take off, this has included new stockists, more publicity and my first interview about my work. so I thought I would share some of the nice blog posts about Victoria Logan Knitted Textiles and some nice images of my work currently online.

I hope I will be getting more publicity and press articles written about Victoria Logan knitted Textiles over the next few months, but so far I'm really happy that my work is being recognised and written about :)

Commissions

So I have been really busy the past few weeks with dog cushion commissions. Ever since I put my Corgi cushion up on my website I have been asked to make several different breeds of dog: Labrador, Bull terrier, West Highland Terrier, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and have had other people enquiring about using different animals but in the corgi cushion style. The response has been amazing, and I have been really enjoying making new dog cushions and have to thank Alvar the corgi for inspiring me to make the first dog cushion by Victoria Logan Knitted Textiles :)

Thanks Alvar

The Corgi cushion

New Stockist and commission

So I have been busy over the past few weeks working on orders for shops and commissions, it has been great getting my work out there :) My newest stockist is The Tayberry Gallery in Perth. I sent this lot off to it last week:

I also made up a bull terrier cushion for a customer, it worked really well and I'm looking forward to making my next dog cushion:
