Looking for a gift for a wee one? I've lots of lovely hand knits waiting for a new home. buff.ly/81yrQhE #mhhsbd #craftbizparty #babygifts #UKGiftAM #handmade

What a wet day here today, definitely moving into hat season! I've lots of different styles and sizes of hats and bonnets available such as this fair isle style baby bonnet. buff.ly/GHanIg9 #mhhsbd #UKMakers #Handmade

Ooooo, all the cabley cables in this fab jumper. Buttons at the front rather than the back for ease of getting on and off. buff.ly/pcUnfJJ #mhhsbd #craftbizparty #ukmakers #handmade

Let me tell you - a chunky beanie hat is the way to go. Keeps your head warm whilst you look fabulous! This is a one off - once it’s gone, it’s gone! buff.ly/YkQxOUt #mhhsbd #ukmakers #handmade #craftbizparty

I knitted some socks for my brother to match the jumper I made him earlier in the year. He’ll certainly be toasty this winter! #mhhsbd #UKMakers #knitting

A wee splash of colour on a grey day or even a grey hat can lift spirits! This hat can be made in sizes from newborn to adult. buff.ly/vl2k5jV #mhhsbd #craftbizparty #handmade

Another #wip is this hoodie. I’ve just to sew in the ends and it will be done but there is so many. I keep putting it down 🫣 #showmeyourknits

One of my current #wip is a fair isle yoke cardigan for my niece. Sleeve is progressing well. #ShowMeYourKnits

A wee splash of colour on this one! Would make a great gift for a new arrival. buff.ly/euE2KSy #mhhsbd #CraftBizParty #handmade

Sometimes a jumper or cardigan just looks like a big pile of fabric before it magically turns into a wearable item! #mhhshb #CraftBizParty #handmade #Etsyseller

Yip, I still wear knitwear in the summer. The only difference is the materials. Rather than wool, I wear my knitted linen clothes, Who said knitwear was only for winter! #mhhsbd #kniting #handmade

What have you lost now or is that spider distracting you, Fran? #MyAssistantFran #mhhsbd

I love seeing a work in progress. It really makes you appreciate the skill involved in creating something beautiful. #UKMakers #knitting

This ticks all the right boxes for cosy, stylish and unique. I just love those little fleur de lys within the pattern. So pretty! #UKMakers #knitwear #knitting

I bet you're also looking out the window and thinking - yip it's going to start getting colder! If you want to be prepared, then get your woollies sorted - like a cowl, for example! buff.ly/M22EbQJ #mhhsbd #UKMakers #handmade #CraftBizParty

I mostly knit garments mainly as I love knitting and wearing them! The construction of garments is also something that interests me. The image shows a shrug I made and this is half of the back, the front and the sleeve all as one piece! #mhhsbd #handmade #UKMakers

The rain has been on nonstop today. My garden is loving it! As I am, as I can sit and knit. #mhhsbd

One of my favourite designs to make. It looks great in any colour too! I have this pink version available in the shop just now. buff.ly/akihaQO #mhhsbd #handmade #UKMakers

Ever feel you are just going round in circles? Hopefully if I keep going I'll end up with a jumper 😜 #mhhsbd #knitting #handmade
