Finknottle's Parlour

Finknottle's Parlour Jane's stuff. Kinda bloggy, knitty, hooky, sewy, occasionally cakey.

Because I’ve either got knitting needles, a crochet hook or embroidery thread in my hands, I’m often asked ‘why’.

Simple: it brings me joy! Not just the satisfaction of making something - especially if it’s to be a gift (I’ve a good one on the hook at the moment, can’t share, shhhhh, secret) - but also the lovely tools I get to use.

I was sat hooking this morning and just needed to share these - aren’t they a delight? Karen from Pedro's Plaques & Pretty Things makes the hooks by hand, and can even supply stands to keep them in so you can admire your treasures 🥰

I like to have a knitting and a crochet project on the go, alternating between the two. The crochet Spring Chill cardigan has been lurking around for too long, time to get moving!

Doesn’t the temperature dropping by 10° make such a difference - and I can get some knitting underway.
