YARN by sallytheknittingqueen

After a day on the beach, nothing beats a cup of tea & a spot of people watching!

Cold weather = hat knitting season!

Got to love a cable hat!

Well that’s it, all the Christmas knitting is done! I even managed to find time to make an extra Winter Gonk as a treat!

I’ve had a few of you lovely lot place bespoke orders with me. So to enable me to get on top of everything & get the shop restocked, I shall be closing my order book until some time in the New Year.

Looking for unique Christmas gift ideas!? Then look no further!

All my hats are hand knitted by me with a bespoke made faux fur pom pom & suede tag. Perfect for this frosty weather!

There is also a lovely collection of knitted cowls & wrist warmers too.

I promised you a Christmas shop update! Here it is! There is only 1 of each design available.

This is also your last chance for a bespoke made Gonk this year. They won’t be around for long, so be quick!

Update: Now sold out!

Pinch, punch, first of the month! Time to get out the festive mugs!

Watch this space for something good dropping later in my shop! 🎅🏼⛄️

The pair of rascals that started my Etsy journey! Who would have thought these 2 would cause so much fuss!

Stay tuned for a Christmas gonk update later this week!!

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening.....

☆☆Hygge☆☆

Fabulous evening with the Bestie welcoming in winter with Hygge Evening!

Was lovely from start to finish. Starry Night themed with 'sipples' of Baileys & warmed apple stollen. I now have a beautiful hygge branch hanger for my office!

Don't think I haven't forgotten....
...I may have been busy making post box toppers, but I do have a little Christmas Gonk drop coming soon!!

Let's face it, Christmas isn't Christmas without a festive Gonk!

Busy week of orders, navy ear warmers getting packaged up ready for delivery!

Throw back to last weeks multitasking.... gin & crafting is hardwork, not sure how I've been back a whole week though?!

Big thank you to everyone thats bought something in the last week. You've certainly helped keep the holiday blues at bay!

My Postbox topper friends are keeping me busy, so I can only promise that I'll have one maybe two shop updates up my sleeve this side of Christmas, so watch this space!

What lazy Sundays are all about....

Things could get interesting...

Nothing beats infusing a project with sunshine!

Bit warm to be crocheting a baby blanket, but here we are!

Getting ahead, got an old friend expecting baby number 2 over Christmas. So sunshine, love, happy & healthy vibes are being crocheted into every stitch!

The weather is vile today! So here I am to remind you that both my Facebook & Etsy shops are well stocked with cowls & ear warmers, as well as the odd hat!

Layer up & stay warm! 🧶

Dappled leaves & the sun hanging low in the sky. Autumn is firmly here... won't be long until Jack Frost is nipping at our heels!

My latest hat is now live on Etsy, https://yarnbysallytknitq.etsy.com

Watch this space, I will be making more hats!

Latest offering hot off the pins!

The eagle eyed amongst you will notice this is what I was making on holiday… so has happy, warm vibes knit into its simple rib pattern.

It’s made in in a lovely teal aran weight yarn, topped with a lovely handmade pom pom.

Will be live in my shop later this evening.

Post Box committee meeting... in the pub... with curry... introducing our newest member! He's going to get some friends, we don't want him lonely on top of the post box!

The stress is real, listening to the Boys new single on this morning on BBC Radio 2.... I need the tour details now!!

When you should be ironing.....

Lots of interest in my pumpkin sets! Won't be making anymore this year, so be quick!! 🎃

Link in my bio to both my FB & Etsy shops!

The heatwave is over & the smell of autumn is in the air.

So I've started waking up my Etsy & Facebook shops... Good old Meta currently has the Facebook one in review, so who knows when that will be live but the Etsy shop is very much awake!

For transparency, my prices on Etsy will be higher than Facebook... Etsy I include postage.

So please, if you are able, choose my Facebook shop. Etsy charges selling fees, so I'm grateful to anyone that helps me bypass paying these!

Please do drop me a message if you see anything you like & also if there is anything you'd like being made. I have availability to make custom orders too.

New stock is being worked on & will be listed as soon as its finished!

Another epic holiday comes to an end! Lots of laughter, chatting, people watching, cocktails & adventures! Nice of Lanzarote to send us home with fireworks!

Another day, another cocktail....

Multitasking at its best!

Out, out, out with the Bestie. Millionaire Marina for us tonight!

Winter knits in summer heat...
