Knitting Up North

Printed Textiles, knitting and crafting

New little projects on the go…

Now I’m heading in to my third year of blogging (yippee!) I feel like I should make more of an effort with Knitting Up North.  I have been trying to blog every day recently (apart from when I have a really busy week!) so I’m now I’m going to try and take some time out [...]

Happy Birthday blog…

I’m 2 years old this week – hurrah, time I baked myself a big cake I think! I can’t believe how quickly the time has flown by!  I looked back over some of my old blog posts and laughed!  I started the blog as a way of keeping track of all my knitting projects mainly [...]

Autumn in Sheffield…

We had a lovely day out yesterday afternoon, we went for lunch at Nether Edge and then walked towards Eccy Road.  We even took the camera out with us so we could take some lovely pics of how beautiful autumn is. All of the leaves are really falling off the trees now, I love this [...]

Deliveries, pugs and birthdays…

It’s hubby’s birthday today so it’s been a day of present giving so far. I gave him a subscription to Make magazine and printed him a t-shirt with an astroboy print, he loved them both!  We’re off out in a bit to go to our favourite cafe for lunch and then a little wander down [...]

Makeover magic…

Morning all, as you can probably tell, I’ve had a little makeover.  I’m trying to make the site a little easier on the eyes to be honest and not quite so cluttered.  I’ve also changed the logo and I’m working on a mailing list button to help out too.  So what do you think?  If [...]

End of a tough week…

Well, this week has definitely been a tough week so now it’s the weekend I’m so happy. I’ve got this weekend off so today has been all about catching up with boring things like washing and tidying. I had an exciting new delivery yesterday though, my new packaging! Isn’t it amazing the things you get [...]

Sunny day photo shoots…

Today has been a cold but beautifully sunny day so me and the hubby popped in to the back garden to take some pictures of my new tote bags.  I’ve never been in any pictures of my products before, I prefer to stay behind the camera but we decided that it would be nice to [...]

Rainy days and pretty shoes…

Today is the first day I feel back to normal which is great, although the guilt of having made the hubby ill now is still here, poor thing!  So today I have tonnes of jobs to do as it’s time to really catch up on some work. Shoe update: I ordered the next size up [...]

Getting back to normal…

I spent most of yesterday in bed after phoning in sick for the second time this week, I was just so tired and my cough was annoying the hell out of me! Today my cough is much better though thanks to some lovely sweet cough syrup. Hubby has come down with a cold today though [...]

Off work again…

It’s 2pm and I’m at home, I was at work but came home just before lunch.  I am just a bit croaky and left with a chesty cough now, I feel much better than I did.  I’m going to finish writing this and then get a hot drink and curl up on the sofa.  I [...]
