Traceable & sustainable British knitwear with a story to tell...

🌄 Getting ready...

✏ For a new week, hoping this will be the last week of home schooling!

🌱 A new month, March full of hope and new beginnings...

🏞 For a new season, and the exciting new ideas taking shape in my new studio and further afield...

⛵ Much like the fishermen, painting and mending their boats, "making good", buying new pieces equipment. Now is the time to begin to take stock of your wardrobe, what you still need, what no longer works and what you might need in the coming weeks...

I've been thinking about the Rook cardigan, named after Gilbert "Leather" Rook, an old Norfolk fisherman, it's perfect for this time of year, for an early morning - venture into the garden, or like some people, a walk down to the sea. With deep, practical pockets and a warm shawl collar.

🐑 Knitted from 100% certified British wool and imbued with the craftsmanship of the Norfolk Gansey jumpers.

🧡 An in-between cardigan is what is needed right now!

☀️ With the sun shining this morning, I'm thinking about the spring and the summer months that are coming. Have you planned ahead?

❄ We've actually had another frost up here in the night though, a reminder that full blown spring is not quite here yet.

🌷 This too though is a lovely time of year full of promise and crisp mornings. I'm going to try to enjoy each season as it comes, and at the moment this means getting stuck into my new garden in my warm knitwear! 🐑

New view! 🌄

We've finally moved house...
I've been a bit quiet over here this week but I'm back in action again now, allbeit with a different view, no city noises, just the chatter of country birds!

Happy Martedi Grasso/ Pancake Day/ Carnevale!! 🎉🎉

My children are ecstatic at the thought of pancakes for breakfast today...

Martedi grasso brings back memories for me, from the times when I lived in Italy. In Milan during this period the pasticcerie were full of beautiful displays of sugar dusted confections in the shape of mermaid's purses, whilst in Venice, the pavements were peppered with confetti and the infamous masks were worn 🎭

The Italians have a way of making life feel magical and nowhere more so than in Venice where the striped Gondolieres, much like the fishermen, are a race apart... The Breton striped top is imbued with nautical connotations but so is the striped uniform of these elusive boatmen! ⛵

The beautiful photos of Venice were very generously shared by my Venetian friend @sissi1770

✏ It's creation stations in my studio this morning!

Having taken back my lovely big desk after 6 weeks of home schooling, I can't wait to finalize my new spring designs.

🌞 There's going to be some fun and colour, but all still firmly rooted in my nautical inspiration.

⛵This is my favourite photograph of the fishermen at the moment, "Eight Sheringham Fishermen" courtesy of Norfolk Museums Service, they look like a jovial lot that you might bump into over a pint in the local pub!

⚓I've just finished reading the most amazing insight into life on the North Norfolk coast - "Crossing the Bar, Tales of Wells Harbour" by Robert Smith MBE (Harbour Master) which gives a real insight into the lives of these elusive souls, as well as many other fascinating stories and recollections.

So, well stocked with ideas and inspiration I'm ready to get going!

❄ Enjoy your weekend!

❄ Hello, how's your week been?

🐑 I've been keeping warm in my British wool knits! I work in my studio which is in our conservatory at the back of our house.
It's a beautiful space because it looks out over all the back gardens in our street but when the temperature drops, it gets pretty chilly!

I can honestly say that the warmest thing to wear and also to look smart in during zoom meetings, has been my chunky wool cardigans and snuggly scarves, all knitted in 100% British wool.

There's honestly nothing better! 🧣🧦🐑

⭐ Good morning and welcome to the week!

🎁 As I was packaging up my orders over the weekend I was struck by the freshness of the colours and the crispness of the textures in this pile of just steamed knitwear!

I studied textiles during my Foundation Year(pre fashion degree) which always reminds me of the reason why I chose to specialize in knitwear: because you get to create both the fabric AND the shape of the garment.

It's so important to be able to touch knitwear, it's not just a flat surface! So I'm really looking forward to later on in the year when I hope to take my collection out and about to some pop-up events.

🔉 In the meantime, tomorrow evening at 6.30pm (UK time) I'll be taking part in a fascinating discussion on the role that wool plays in the 21st Century. I'll be one of three speakers discussing what this amazing fibre means to me. More info can be found a @thebradfordtextilesociety but please send me a message if you'd like more on how to get tickets etc.

🧡 I hope you have a lovely bright start to your week!
