Flying the knitted flag for hand made...
The inter net is a great thing and as we've seen there are plenty of good people out there sharing our ethos and principles.These past months have been a great eye opener and the fact that there are quite a few out there willing to share and collaborate is absolutely wonderful.
Those that stay in their little worlds and see it as a competition (you know who you are!)are actually missing out on an amazing thing! We love hand made goods,making new friends,working with other like minded people and learning the true meaning of what it is to be in a community. So when we come across great things we like to shout about it and let everyone know...
Check out these lovely ladies...
