Lesley has been a lifelong knitter and has a wealth of both experience and expertise.  She started knitting as a child and has continued to develop her skills, techniques and designs since then.

Lesley used her knitting, sewing and other craft skills to clothe her two children when they were young, and soon developed a following amongst the other parents from whom she would take commissions for both children and adult clothes.  With a keen eye for fashions and trends, Lesley enjoys developing new knitting projectsthat are both contemporary and satisfying to complete.

Lesley is known to all her friends and colleagues as a warm and bubbly character – and this is demonstrated perfectly during her knitting workshops.  These are a chance not only
to learn new skills and hone your existing ones, but to spend creative time with like-minded people .

Lesley’s knitting kits are both fun to make and produce stunning and original gifts that say so much more than shop-bought items.

Hello lovely peeps, makers and creators, as promised I said that I would keep you up to date with my knitting progress and here it is… the frilly scarf knitted with Katia sole scarf yarn.

I have to say that when I knitted it, I had been knitting less than a month and was thrilled that I was able to complete it quickly and easily without any help except for the cast off.

My mother-in-law who is a much more experienced knitter than I am was so thrilled by the scarf, that she had to buy some scarf yarn there and then. Since then she has knitted it and come back for more.

This is a great present for any occassion and mothers day is coming up too… at £3.25 a ball you cant go wrong… 2 balls is all you need and you get a free pattern with your purchase too.  You can buy this yarn from: http://www.tigerlilymakes.co.uk/products-page/katia-knitting-yarns-supplies/page/2/

Hello lovely peeps, makers and creators, today I just simply have to share with you the wonderful work of the amazingly talented Skye German.  For those of you who don’t know I am an accredited arts & crafts tutor and used to travel the country demonstrating a whole host of crafts and running workshops for a well know craft company. When I opened the felt boutique… I found I had a lot of surplus stash, tools and equipment.

Not wanting this to go to waste I set about selling my personal items on Ebay and this believe it or not is how I met the amazing Skye German. Skye was the winning bidder for my craft stash and we immediately struck a rapport via our email communiction.  That chance meeting has led to a very special friendship that has been ongoing for about 2 years now.

Skye is a wonderful person whom is a full time carer and designs and creates wonderful things to sell around that… Skyes designs and creations are all very besoke and unique and are very popular with her audience.

Pictured above is one of Skyes amazing designs which she customised especially for me… I received it this week and immediately fell in love with it, it now takes pride of place on our sofa.

I feel so blessed and lucky to have met such wonderfully kind and generous friends in my industry sector.

Thank you so much Skye for your wonderful gift, I absolutely adore it.

Please support our talented crafters by buying from the UK.  You can contact Skye for custom orders and be safe in the knowledge that not only will the design be superb but the quality of workmanship will be excellent… as well as having a wide range of accessories to choose from.

This design was all done by hand, no machines used at all!! Using the famous Harris Tweed.
