Winter is on the way

Halloween is around the corner and next week the clocks go back bringing the darker mornings and nights. Winter is officially on it's way!!

Now is the time to get those winter woolies out of storage and start wrapping up well for the cold weather. Knitwear is bigger than ever in the fashion world this season with lots of cute knits for kids featuring in the shops. A great way to stay warm in the cold weather is to wear a wooly hat that covers the ears. With a great selection of styles available it is easy to find a cute and snuggly hat to keep your little one warm this winter!

Working with Wool & Felt

We love working with wool but have always been interested in designing with felt. When we came across the wonderful artist 'Katuck' we decided we would combine the two and create some little knits with fun felt designs for kids.

Kerry from Katuck finds inspiration in flowers and creates the most beautiful floral inspired felt accessories (among many other wonderful designs). We loved working with Kerry, her attention to detail on everything she produces means there is a great quality to all her items. Her use of colour is exciting and no doubt the arrival of spring will be inspiring and result in some fab new items being added to the shop. Be sure to visit and have a look at some of the lovely items on display including this gorgeous felt purse.
Thanks to Katuck we have a great range of animals to add to our little knitted sweaters which add a bit of fun for children. Some of the animals in the range are: owl, monkey, hedgehog, bunny, elephant, chick, duck etc. These little felt creations are available on any of our knits from small items like hats to larger items such as sweaters.

Contact us if you would like a custom knit to include one of Katuck's felt designs or visit our store to view items sweaters currently listed!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Happy Saint Patrick's Day to everyone!

March 17th is a national holiday in Ireland so thanks to our favourite patron saint we have a much appreciated day off work.

Instead of heading to the parade we decided last minute to go with friends on a big hike for the day and spent 5 solid hours tackling Mullaghcleevaun and Tonelagee - the second and third highest mountains in Wicklow. The feet are very sore and every muscle in my body hurts but all in all I feel great for spending the day outdoors. I'm catching the highlights of the parade on the tv and enjoying a well deserved rest.

I hope all our blog readers are having a wonderful Saint Patricks Day!!

Chick Chick Chick Chick Chicky

Lay a litte egg for me.....

With easter approaching we decided to create some little Easter Chicks.

These make fun little egg holders for kids and pretty decorations in general.

There is an opening at the end of the chick where you can place a painted cooking egg or a small chocolate egg.

We hope you like our little Easter Chicks and remember we have little chick families eager to find new homes!!

Order a little knit from our Etsy site on or before March 17th and receive a free knitted chick :)
