Baby Cocktails
aka Thea Colman - I'm sure you knew that already though! We love Thea's work, and have collborated on a number of projects now, so I thought it'd be really nice to celebrate this with a gallery of Thea/ECY projects and a chat to her about her work. It comes at a time when she's just released Pimms Cup on Ravelry as a single pattern - this was part of the Drift Collection which we released in September 2015. On top of that I've got print copies of Dubonnet and Cardamom Rose which I'm putting together into kits. "V: How...

She did exactly that. When you see the pairs of socks together you can instantly tell they are from one cohesive collection, and they just look so cosy, appealing, and fun to both make and wear. We'll have Jane's books on our Wonderwool...
An interview with Justyna Lorkowska
Hello! As promised, today we have an interview with Justyna Lorkowska aka Lete's Knits for you. Justyna is a well-known and prolific designer, and we love her timeless style and classic knitwear which will never date. I feel we work well together, as I love wispy, floral tones in particular, and Justyna's style works really well with that. I'm sure many of you will know of Aisling, which was our collaboration in celebration of last year's Edinburgh Yarn Festival. This shawl perfectly demonstrates Justyna's gorgeous, classic and whimsical style. Anyway, I'll just remind you that you can meet her on...
