Holiday Round-Up
I’m back at work tomorrow and looking forward to it. I’ve enjoyed my rest but I’m bursting with ideas for more samples. For some reason I’m on cable kick mixed with … unconventional construction which is really exciting. It’s a great feeling to be going back to work with a definite idea. I don’t feel […]
Start The Week
As you may know, I’m working with a new system at the moment. I select tasks I must do by the end of the week and then build a timetable around it. So far it’s been really successful. I have a proper work day with a lunch and finishing time and everything. I have evenings […]
This Week I’ve Been …
Work continues here apace. It’s so nice to feel productive and no time is wasted. My “other job” was cancelled on Monday due to illness, so I cracked on with shop jobs. I’ve got a sweater all finished and ready to add to the shop, I just need to take photos of it. And yes, […]
Peaks and Troughs.
I’ve been a very lucky girl over Christmas. I’ve had the luxury of time over the festive period. Time to spend with family and friends. Time to relax and knit “fun” things (ie not work and all for me). Mostly I’ve been playing with the wonderful gift my husband bought me for Christmas. This is […]

And now it’s different. For a variety of reasons, I’ve decided to finish the shop sweater I’m working on (and nearly […]
A Change To Our Schedhuled Programming
Since today is Saturday, it’s reasonable to expect a post about some talented chap or other. However, I’ve decided to have a little rest over the next few weeks. There’s lots of things happening at Triskele Towers and working on all them, as hard as I have to, means I don’t have time to write […]
The Day The Mail Arrived
How nice is it to get something in the post that isn’t in a brown envelope and makes you feel depressed? Brown parcels are so much more exciting. If you need poof, check out what came in the post this morning – Lots of lovely Blueface Leicester in cream and a mushroom brown and they […]

SoSatsuma describes itself as – [a] contemporary hand knit company, producing in Britain. Focusing on chunky knit wear for stylish little people. Practical, comfortable, beautiful our […]
First Looks at “Hetherington”
Yesterday I started work on a new sweater design. This is becoming a regular opening statement isn’t it but I’ve got a few designs that I need to work on and now commissions are out of the way, I’ve got some time to do just that. You’re not really interested in the why though are […]
