    An Early Evening Walk in Norfolk

    Frankie / 21/05/2020

    I spent my childhood in Norfolk so the huge skies and wild seascapes are as familiar a memory as the brisk wind that gusts in from the North Sea, leaving you reaching for…

🌟 About last weekend… 🫶🏻Thanks so much 🌟 About last weekend…

🫶🏻Thanks so much to everyone who popped in to see us at @the_everywhere_store pop up in London Marylebone last Friday and Saturday.

📽️ Ella, my niece - the first face of Charl Knitwear, came to help at the event which meant we had time to put together a little film for everyone who couldn’t make it! 

We hope you enjoy it 😊 

💕 Such a beautiful curation of independent, female-founded brands, I hope they organize a another one soon! 

That’s me done for live events now until the autumn (except for something special in the Cotswolds next week @astylelabcompany 😉).

🐑 Oh, and watch out in socials for a very exciting development here in my Warwickshire studio …

🌊 World Ocean Day is always a significant date 🌊 World Ocean Day is always a significant date for me because it reminds us of the importance of looking after our oceans, beaches and marine life. 

🌟 This year’s theme is “WONDER Sustaining What Sustains Us” which reminds us of the many wonders found in and around the sea.

“Wonder is the foundation of scientific knowledge, the allure behind exploration, the curiosity that drives innovation, and the seed of traditional wisdom. In the face of increasingly daunting challenges, the act of wondering serves to remind us that we are part of something bigger…”
@worldoceanday 

🌅 I think this is something we all feel when we take a walk along the beach or look into the horizon and I think it was certainly something the Norfolk fishermen felt as they went to work on the Norfolk Coast.

🐑♻️ Interesting fact - when wool biodegrades in the sea it actually enriches the marine life 🐟🐟 which is the opposite to synthetic fibres which pollute the water with micro plastics.

Erica picked the WEST cardigan in Milk White as her “go to” cream cardi for the season. It’s great worn over summer dresses, blouses and shirts. How gorgeous does it look paired with this pink striped duo by @_beyond_nine?💕

💙🤎 The Dark Navy and Tobacco versions would work equally well as “neutral” cover ups depending on your colouring, with the Royal Blue version serving as a more colourful alternative 🩵

Which colour cardigan works best for you?

⚓️ Anchors… 💙 I had so much fun research ⚓️ Anchors…

💙 I had so much fun researching the WINTERTON group of knits!

I found this anchor design on a vintage Gansey knitted by Cazey Goffin from Winterton Norfolk. It was part of quite a complicated design from a Cornish Bridal Pattern. Who knows how it found its way up to Norfolk..?

Anchors are a very cliched part of nautical fashion but but I love the sailor connotations that hark back to the 1920s and bathing chic on the Cote d’Azure 🏖️

My versions are extremely soft, due to the merino and OEKO-TEX cotton blend I chose. They are airy, with a loose, dropped arm hole, but dense enough to give you very flattering coverage.

🧳 In stock now and ready for your holiday wardrobe

🌊 Summer Seas… Two new colours in the much l 🌊 Summer Seas…

Two new colours in the much loved BETTY cardigan: Ocean Blue 💙 and Surf White 🤍. Inspired by the deep blue seas off the Shetland coast and the surf that rises as it meets the rocky shoreline.

🐑 Knitted in Britain from 100% authentic Shetland wool. I’ve chosen two new shades, richly marled with the iconic tweedy gradations found in this very special wool.

🌦️ For those of you heading north this summer, or, if we’re being honest, for early mornings, chilly evenings and anywhere along the British coastline! 💨

🌟 Available on-line now for immediate delivery 🚀
