Early summer dogwalking in Yorkshire
One of the nicest things about dogwalking is seeing tthe seasons changing in more detail. So I thought I'd share what early summer looks like in Yorkshire. This route isn't overly rural or anything - in fact we go under the A1 motorway/dual carriageway, but you don't have to walk for long to lose the noise of the traffic. At the moment everywhere looks really lush and bright green with new growth. And there are tiny flowers growing in all the shady spots.. There's a variety of grasses, if you look closely. And we're starting to see more bees,...
Update preview: May 2017
That (yarn) time of the month is almost upon us again so I thought it'd be helpful to provide a full preview of everything that'll be included to you can easily see everything together and make plans if you need to. This update will go live at 7pm UK time on Tuesday the 30th of May. Above: Oakworth 4ply in Cottage Originals 1805171211 We do always send out a newsletter a few days before updates as a reminder and it covers more than just the yarn update - we look at new pattern releases, KALs, and other things of interest...
Joji MKAL yarn packs
So.. I'm sure you'll have heard about Joji Locatelli's latest MKAL - the Starting Point wrap. It requires five colours of yarn, which is great for stashbusting unless like me your extensive stash is surprisingly uncohesive and you're therefore struggling to actually put five things together. Anyway, I'm normally very very behind with things like this (I'm talking years behind), so here's a surprise - we have put together some yarn packs for you for this MKAL and it's before the start date! Granted only just, but it still counts. I'll start by saying these are in the kits section...
Bowland DK update preview
Hello! I thought it'd be useful to show you a preview of Sunday's Bowland DK update... it goes live at 1pm UK time. Here's most of it: I've done sweater quantities of all of it - it's been so long since we did the last Bowland update that we had none left, so I was really starting from scratch again. There are three Cottage Originals batches included. There's also a batch of Sparrow, which is what Lori Versaci used in her Summer Fog cardigan pattern. Those white tags are for office use only - they'll be coming off the yarn!...

Update Preview
Hello, I hope you're all ok. Thankyou for all the lovely comments on social media about our last two posts (Edinburgh and new website). We're still ironing out the odd thing on the new website - tax has been a bit of a pain as I wanted it to show prices both excluding and including vat, so that's still being tweaked to get it correct. Today's post is all about the next update. It'll go live on Sunday the 2nd of April at 1pm UK time, and everything we add will now show up in the 'recently added' section on...
