B E S P O K E: I love creating Joan jumpers in dif B E S P O K E: I love creating Joan jumpers in different colour ways for you. This has been a real favourite, mixing blossom, lipstick and oatmeal yarns together to create a unique colour blend. 

I just love these warm tones. Oh and did I mention....it’s reversible!

Please do get in touch if you would like to chat about colours, there’s over 100 to choose from & that doesn’t include mixing.

Who else is cosying up in a big jumper this Sunday Who else is cosying up in a big jumper this Sunday? I love that this one is reversible, two looks in one, (you can just see the pale lavender peeking over my shoulder)

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my jumpers, but I’m soooo ready for some warm sunshine! 

I’m hoping to have the new skirts and cashmere vest tops ready for the summer, so much juggling with workshops going on at the moment.

Sketchbook work, I love getting out old sketches & Sketchbook work, I love getting out old sketches & having a look at designs that didn’t come to life. Often there are ideas that weren’t right for then, but could be used now. They are such a good thing to keep and refer back to. You never know when an idea will be ripe for developing!

A sample I knit a couple of years ago for the next A sample I knit a couple of years ago for the next collection that I’m delving back into to explore. I love the fluid forms & there’s great scope for texture & movement. I knit this instinctively from some drawings I had done of some flamingo feathers zoomed in. Now it’s time to play again & start repeating patterns to see what grows. 

This also reminds me of @rubyjack__ s gorgeous new collection of jewels in a curvy line fluid kind of way. 

Fun!

On the needles today. Playing with shaping ribs. I On the needles today. Playing with shaping ribs. It’s been “one of those days” so even though this is the only thing I knit, and I really didn’t feel like it, it feels good to have created something

Got all my samples out ready for a creative pow wo Got all my samples out ready for a creative pow wow tonight for the next collection. 

Having put all of this on hold since last summer so I could knit product for John Lewis & then Christmas, it feels exciting to see these all again with fresh eyes. 

I’m setting weekly deadlines now, only small ones because I’m creating new workshops & developing new products at the same time. But it feels good to break it down into bite size pieces & just start making! 

This has been a very long process getting to this point & once this collection is done, I’ll be setting smaller collection projects with faster turn arounds! I’ve beaten myself up for such a long time that this isn’t finished yet, but life is life & the creative process is never easy. I over think & over knit, often creating hundreds of samples for a collection of up to 10 looks & then end up agonising over the perfect fabric. 

Now it’s time to let that go and just have some fun with pink and fluffs!
