Introducing Daisy Agnes - Chippy's answer to Kate Moss - who popped in the other day to show off her new dress. 

Knitted by proud mum Sarah in Rico Cotton DK and embellished with hand embroidered daisies all around the hem, this dress is a stunner. Perfect with a long T-shirt and cardi in the cooler weather but even more delightful worn as a sun dress on warmer days.

And, as if by magic, the sun has just come out!

Lydia and Lucy model their new skirts - made from scratch in less than a day. Both girls had chosen pretty florals for their skirts and have gone for a summery above-the-knee look.
Meanwhile Kit and Alexa opted for cobalt blue chrysanthemum prints from our Free Spirit collection.
All skirts were made to fit and beautifully finished under the expert supervision of tutor Kerry. Another skirt making day will be in the classes diary soon!

Vibrant juicy colours mixed with a creamy vanilla good enough to eat.

An away-day adventure in Winchcombe - while cake toppers were being created here in Chippy, Claire was off on an adventure of her own as part of the Wool in Winchcombe event. Hosted and organised by Jane, owner of the Winds of Change Gallery, Wool in Winchcombe is a celebration of the town's wool trade heritage. Knitting and yarnbombing was the order of the day for us,but there are all kinds of other activities going on - including needle felting sheep with Gretel Parker and the Big Knit - alongside a super exhibition of all things woolly at the gallery itself. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a trip to the most beautiful part of the Cotswolds. Find out  more at www.windsofchangegallery.co.uk

Not what you would expect from a knitting shop...but look what we do now.
