Thank Folksy it's Friday!

It's good to be back!!!

I had a fantastic week in Cornwall, staying in a house in Hayle and enjoying travelling round the area, which is so beautiful. I managed to get to the Eden Project and Lizard Point, both of which will no doubt inspire yarns soon. But more of my hols (including snaps) over the next couple of days.

When I returned from my hols to the north I was struck by the industrial beauty that is all around me. People often stop to appreciate the fields, rivers and trees in the area where I live without giving the mill buildings and factories a second glance. This week's Folksy Friday pays homage to industrial beauty in its many and varied forms...

Changes!!!

I have decided to make some changes to my shops, so my Coriandr and Misi shops are closed until further notice. My Folksy shop is temporarily closed until I return from my holidays, at which point I will be adding some new yarns, including this lovely Superwash Merino Laceweight :)






















That is, if the housesitter doesn't snaffle it all first ;)

At the moment I am considering putting all my knitted items and custom knit slots in my Coriandr shop, as I cannot separate everything effectively on Folksy until their long awaited shop sections are available. Knitted items will include longies and soakers as before (I am a Sheepy Time cottage licence holder), plus hats for adults and children knitted from patterns by the hugely talented Woolly Wormhead
(I have her permission to do this) as well as some scarves, mittens and bootees of my own design.

Here is a recently completed set - Tubey hat by Woolly Wormhead and mittens and bootees which reflect the hat design :)






















My Misi shop may well end up stocking stitch markers and earrings, like these I made recently...

Thank Folksy it's Friday!

For once I'm not stuck in the office on a Friday and boy does it feel good!!!

This means I get the chance to do my Folksy Friday during the day at my leisure rather than squeezing it into the evening. My theme for this week is Beach Huts, due to the fact that I set off on my hols at midnight for a much needed break in Cornwall :)

As usual, if you click on the piccies you should be magically transported to the shop in question.....

Thank Folksy it's Friday!

Here at last is the fourth of my elements themed Folksy Fridays - air. All of these lovely items from talented Folksy sellers have a link to the air or it's movement....

Thank Folksy it's Friday!

As I have already done the elements water and fire and have recently acquired an allotment, earth seemed like a good theme for this week's picks...

Thank Folksy it's Friday!

Carrying on from last week's watery offering fire seemed like a good theme for this week...

Thank Folksy it's Friday!

Hi - this week has been so hectic I haven't had chance to blog or even to tweet for the last few days. Things should quieten down a little now though as the Aussies have now left Yorkshire and are wending their way back to Sydney via London, Thailand and Singapore.

I've been busy trying to book a holiday too - last minute as we've been short of cash this year and can't do France as usual. I've very luckily managed to find a cottage in Hayle, Cornwall and I can't wait!!! Thinking about the Cornish coastline inspired my Folksy Friday picks for this week. They're all water related :)
