Hope you enjoy this little video which Yarn Vibes made! I talk in it about their wonderful range of Irish wool, and some of the designs I created for them : )

I had a wonderful experience at the very first Woollinn festival, which took place in May in Dublin, Ireland.

New knitting pattern, the Andes Beanie, now available : )

Free knitting pattern which I designed : )

I was recently contacted by a lovely customer who wanted a hat sized for a newborn baby, based on a (adult-sized) hat I currently have in my shop. Look how tiny it turned out!

I just published the Classic Cable Beanie - which is exactly what the name suggests, a classic style of beanie with vertical cables.

I'm delighted to have this new pattern ready to share - the Aran Lattice Beanie features criss-cross narrow cables, which create a wonderful texture (and is much easier to knit than it looks!)

It's a very rainy night here, so what better time to get online and try something new again! I've started a Tumblr blog, under the name AranAccessories. I am a complete newbie to Tumblr, so if anyone has any advice it would be most welcome!
