Dear Knitter,
We have an early newsletter this month because we will be taking our annual summer holiday next week. All orders placed by 10am on Thursday 18th of July will be sent out before our holiday, and then the website checkout will close until 10am on August the 11th, with the exception of our digital-only classes and courses, which can still be purchased during our holiday. So if you have a project that you want to to get on the needles before August make sure you place your order by Thursday.
We have had a very busy couple of weeks making the most of a handful of days of good weather to get out on photoshoots. You can see the new pale version of the Eagle Collar here worn by Yasmin on the machair in the evening sunshine. This collar is made in Solan Goose with contrasts of Kittiwake, Spindrift and Pebble Beach. It is teamed here with a Sheshader Pullover, a Ruabhal Hat Set and Dùn Cuffs from Creative Course 2.
To show how very different the Eagle Collar looks with alternative colour choices and stylings, we also have a Whin version worn by Eve with a short-sleeved Sulaire Spencer, a Dùn Cuff and a Breacan woven wrap.
The Hirta Hat set in Selkie, Solan Goose, Kittiwake, Shearwater and Mara also got an outing to the Fife coast where you can see it worn by Rebecca with a Polaris cardigan.
You can also see some old favourites worn and styled in different ways. Eve wears the Anne Boleyn Jacket with a pair of Oregon Autumn Handwarmers.
Yasmin wears the Mol Eire Pullover with a Levenish Hat and Herald fingerless gloves, and an Eagle Collar in Pebble Beach.
Emma wears a Polaris Cardigan, Seaweed scarf and White Jacobite Rose Hat Set.
We have more shoots planned for the next couple of weeks; meanwhile we are getting a new patterncard kit ready for August and both myself and Jade have new designs on the needles, so it is all go on the knitting and designs until we are back with you again in August!
Happy knitting,
Alice
