This is how we do it....

Hello again,
I often get questions about how I make my knits and how comes i'm so hott at intarsia. You know the answer...it's all machine knitted, but that doesn't mean I push a button and the knit just happens, there's much more to it than that.
I heart my workspace and my knitting machines, I took some snaps of me at work (I had just found the 3x self timer function on my camera) and thought i'd share them!


Knitting, concentration 100%...

some essential knob twiddling...

Thinking, or just showing off my shiny hair and pinboard...

I have been making too, currently working on s/s 09 bits, to be revealed in April in the shop, also to be featured in my advert in the next issue of NUDE magazine (buy it, it's a great magazine). I have also been crocheting things for me, check them out on the sugarpaper blog :

Lady Luck

Knitted flowers are go!!! Check out these lovely pics of my knitted flowers....this first one is a brooch, how dandy it would look on your favourite waistcoat.









And this one is a ring, my only styling suggestion here is, errrrmmm, put it on your finger!




These are both available now at http://www.ladyluckrulesok.com/ along with lots of other fun valentines treats from lady luck herself!

Miaowww...Roarrrr..what noise does a fox make?

Hi again,
it's been a while, I've been busy creating some new novelty scarves for this winter.
I decided that the black cat needed some playmates so here they are, a friendly fox and a little baby snow leopard. So far they're all getting along nicely.





I also heard that they make great scarves.They're available now in the shop, woo!
