Scrumptious made the front cover of Vogue Knitting Winter 2013, how absolutely awesome is that????

 

Its Scrumptious chunky in Cherry, the whole project is a secret until Jan 1st then I can post a picture of the whole thing, and its STUNNING!

Thanks to Vogue and Lantern Moon for making this happen :D

 

Christmas Wreath

I made this last night at a wreath workshop, I think whats wonderful is I am going to make them for all seasons, they don't just need to be for christmas, and they are such fun to make, especially if you are just using whats around you, you don't need fancy things :)

 

Fyberspates Christmas Charity - FATE

Hi Guys!

This Christmas, Fyberspates is very proud to be working with Fund for Action Through Education (FATE) to help underprivileged children in Kenya. FATE is a UK registered charity that provides these children the opportunity to get a good quality education. Their vision is that this will enable the children to get good jobs, support themselves and their families and become leaders in their communities. We are therefore delighted to be able to support them by donating £0.05p for every ‘like’ we get on Facebook on our Fyberspates Page, and our Scrumptious Page between now and Jan the 12th.

On the Fyberspates page we already have 550, so its the ‘Likes’ in addition to this. So for example if I get 1550 kilos on that page by the 12th, then I will donate £50 for the new 1000 ‘likes’ and so on.
On the Scrumptious pages I have 75 Likes and so we start from here.

The upper limit is 10,000 likes in total across the Fyberspates and Scrumptious Yarn pages (which will make a donation of £500 to FATE)

You can find out more about the fantastic work that FATE does by visiting their website: www.fateuk.org

If you are not on Facebook or just don’t like it, please don’t worry, there will be other opportunities to do other things later on in the year :)

The reason I chose this Charity is because a Friend of mine help set it up, and so I know it does really good work :)

Teeny Tiny Crochet

I haven't really had time to blog much recently, and I prefer twitter because its so interactive, BUT, I have so many pics and things to show, I need to get back in the habit... now for something fun:

The first of a couple of big Announcements..New distributor Lantern Moon

There is a reason for the lack of blogs recently, things have been super hectic, but for good reasons, we are putting together new things for autumn which are due to be launched in the next week or so properly so I will announce these things this week, so it'll be bumper blog week.

But todays news is extra special. We have teamed up with Lantern Moon in the USA, and they are now our official distributor for Scrumptious there :)

 

                                                  

 

This is really huge and exciting, as a company they are completely on the same wavelength as me, and I  feel very proud to be working with them :D  hehe!
