It’s been too long between posts, but things have been busy behind the scenes.

Much of the last few weeks has been taken up with serious house-hunting. I would love to say that all that effort, and time away from here, resulted in us owning our dream house – one acre, western red cedar, in a [...]

I finally wove in all the ends. Hooray!

It’s a very big and baggy soaker, intended for fitting over bulky night nappies. But now it’s just too pretty to use overnight, so we went out to play.

Don’t look too closely, but I also added in the cow’s tail which my husband noticed I had omitted. Shhh!

The response to the Gnome House set has been well beyond my expectations. More than half were sold within two days, and there are currently only three copies left. Limited edition designs will not be re-offered, so if you’re thinking about grabbing a copy of the Gnome House set you will need to move fast!

I did, however, manage to produce a photo tutorial about dyeing small amounts of wool with food colouring [...]

The Koala, Sky, and Gnome House sets featured in the last post are now stocked on the Charts pages.

I am particularly excited about being able to offer the Gnome House set because it was inspired by a pair of longies I made for my second son when he was just weeks old.

It has been exciting [...]

Keep and eye out for these designs which are being stocked between now and Sunday.

If you’ve been looking around the site lately, you’d notice that there are a few new charts up.

There are Scurrying Mice

and a Weedy Seadragon

all in the Classic selection of charts.
