knitting

I handed in my squares for Wrap with Love yesterday (yay!). I managed to make 5 in all, the stripy one my favourite. The big knit in is tomorrow when all the squares will be joined together and blankets formed. My daughter and I have also managed to make a simple scarf for her in some loud pink and orange wool bought last year. (Which might seem strange to all of you suffering in the heat on the other side of the world!)

Thanks to all the lovely commenters who have joined the giveaway (below). Its so nice to get such generous feedback from everyone, from old and new friends. I've enjoyed finding and visiting some new blogs and shops :-).

There is still time to join if you haven't taken the plunge yet, I will be choosing two people randomly on Tuesday. No word from the printer on the last tea towel. I do hope I can show you before Tuesday, but no matter if I can't.

Giveaway!!

I recently posted about my 100th sale (to the lovely Louise from artandghosts).
To celebrate I am having my first giveaway (and sorry its taken so long I've been sick).
Here are my tea towel designs in a number of different colours/cloths/designs (available now in the shop). To join the giveaway just leave a comment saying which tea towel you would like to win. I have one more printing to come, the Chrysanthemums in a turquoise colour, I will post it soon.
If you have any suggestions for more colours I'd love to hear them too.
I will be choosing one winner (at random) who will recieve:
* tea towel in colour of choice, 1 Ruby Slippers card, 1 Teapot design card.
And a runner-up who will have: * tea towel of your choice.
So please don't be shy, leave a comment. I will get names and addresses later from the winners.
And thanks to all the lovely lovely customers, bloggers, artists who have helped me to this milestone, it's been lots of fun :-)
I'll be choosing a winner next Tuesday August 5.

Sneak Peek!

I hinted the other day about new things turning up at the end of the week (for the giveaway). Well I picked up my new tea towel order from the screenprinters today!! I've had the Filigree and Chrysanthemum designs printed in a few new colours and introduced new UNBLEACHED linen tea towels too. I really really love these unbleached ones. This photo shows one printed with the Filigree design in red. Hopefully I can get some better pics to do them justice when it stops raining!

I had been dithering since my screenprinting course about what colours and designs to print, and then once I'd decided I had to find a printer, which was difficult because they are mostly set up for t-shirts round here.
Then I had to overthink it all and worry a bit!
In the end I got a couple of orders for the blue Filigree tea towel and was mercifully forced into action.

Anyway, its grey and miserable here today, and so I can't take proper photos. And there is one design still to pick up from the printers. Come back soon and I will post them all and will finally have the promised giveaway - I thought people could comment to say which is their favourite and I'll pick someone at random to win that tea towel and some other bits.
