I fell in love with your hat in Martinborough last winter but was away for an extravagant escape so couldn’t justify it…it’s quietly waited in the wings of my desires since.
A good hat is a good friend, I’ll be sure to take it adventuring.
Many thanks for the lovely personal service, my hat feels warmer for it.
I saw your hats at Scout Dublin on my first day there (8 day trip around Ireland) and I so regretted not buying one! So I decided to buy online and am happy that I was able to design my own 🙂 Excited to wear the hat!
Thank you,
Hello Liadain,
I bought one of your lovely hats from the Irish design shop in Dublin this summer when we were over visiting my husband’s cousins. I gave that hat to my sister for Christmas and she has worn it a lot, and several other family members like it so much that they asked me if they could have one too – also one is for me!
So I hope the colour combinations I have chosen prove as popular!
My hats arrived safely and look great! Thanks very much. Another brother in law is already asking for one for his birthday , so I expect I’ll be in touch again soon!
Hello- just to let you know my beautiful jumper arrived today . I absolutely love it .
Thank you very much .
Hi Liadain.
First of all,thank you so much !
My girlfriend absolutely loves it (hat).
And Here is the thing.
Actually I and my girlfriend weren’t sure if we keep this relationship after we leave Ireland because she is from Spain and I’m from Japan and we knew it’s going to be tough in the long time distance relationship .
But right after I gave her the present she asked me to keep in relationship even though it’s going to be a long distance relationship. (It turned out we both wanted to keep this relationship but we both were just scared to ask) and I’m sure the present was like one of the triggers to ask.
So Thanks again for lovely hat and card !
‘What a lovely idea to be able to pick your colours for the Bobble Hat from your merino wool colour range!! Soft and comfy to wear, keeping cosy in the Tassie winter.
Wonderful customer service!!! ‘
I love your products and think it’s so great that your love of knitting with your mum and grandmother has given you much pleasure and success. It is a lovely story. You must be very proud.
Debbie
Good Morning,
It will be a lovely Monday with packing up all the orders that came in this weekend. Thank you.
There are a few of these Large scarves online. Made in the softest merino lambswool they are wide, long and really cosy.
We hope you are well this Monday morning.

More Lichen...
Evan is a real inspiration for clothes making, sewing, vintage patterns, wild fresh colours and all sorts of wonderful creativity. Her page is her creative diary and her attention to detail and generosity of her knowledge is just gorgeous. So if you've been thinking about making yourself a piece of clothing, her work is really encouraging to just go for it and figure it out. @evanleggoe you got skills girl ♡
Love this colour combination of the Lichen with the rust coloured pants. Oh and this is a good reminder for me to pull out my Christmas Stocking that I got from Evan last year!

This process-led body of work invites you to experience natural landscapes through the lens of abundant colour locked within ecosystems that are now, or once were, submerged by the ocean.
The show is on til November 23rd

My goodness it's November! It's a glorious day here in Ballydehob. I ate my breakfast outside in the sunshine.
🌞
It's time I started talking about last order dates and what not. Made for You orders will be the end of November or while our quota lasts. Offering a smaller volume this year so do order early. We are also no longer offering Gift Vouchers, as it makes more sense for us to make to order straight away. We hope you can figure out your own way to do a gift voucher.
🌞
We will launch more adult hats online next week. Sign up to the newsletter to get first dibs ahead of the release on here.

This beautiful Michael Cardigan is for @ger_cahill. Celeste Teal with Celeste Blue placket, Sea Pink pockets, Plum bottom rib and Foxglove & Tropical Blue cuffs. A cosy colourful delight.

🎃🍄🦊 Samhain macnas 🎃🔥❤
The Celtic new year is upon us. I love how celebration of Samhain/ Halloween is always fully embraced here.
🎃
This year it was so wonderful to get dressed up and go to a wee gathering of lovely people. The music was soulful and wild @aislingurwin_harp @rachaellavelle @claresandsceol @newjackson @hatchett_sound_furniture. The dancing was wild, food delish and hosts with heart. Massive thanks to @eldoxio and @chloetet and to all the new friends that were made.
🦊
This costume came to me in a dream the night before. Thanks to Micheál, the dashing @foxyrobber, for helping me pull it together and for being in my life since Lúnasa 💛
🍄
Making this Fly Agaric / Amanita Muscaria headpiece was great excerise in creating something quickly and not over thinking it too much. I am always in awe of my hands and how they move to hold and fold, working together to create with seemingly no instruction! They are really quite incredible, the mind trying to take stock of this always just breaks thr flow.
👐
It brings me back to this time of year and how the veil is thin, our ancestors are close. It's a time to honour them, their lives and what they passed onto us. Whether these traits are to be celebrated & grown or healed & released.
My creativity is definitely here to be celebrated and I give thanks to my ancestors for passing this to me. What are you celebrating this Celtic New Year?

The Cosmos flowers/bláthanna that are currently in bloom in pots outside my house reminded me of this first photo/ghriangraf today - taken on Inis Mór in July. Me delighted with life and that my watermelon icepop matches my outfit to a tee.
🍉
It took me on a journey/turas back through my photos of what was a really amazing summer. I set out to have fun, travel the country, see old friends, make new friends, go wild camping and push myself beyond the comfort zone.
🌸
I followed my heart and it led me from one thing to the next starting with the summer Solstice at Tara, Inis Mór for a friends birthday, holiday with my nieces, to a Wild Irish Retreat in Clare to begin my journey to embrace the language/teanga of this land/tír. To go to this retreat/díseart without being able to string a sentence together was probably the biggest challenge I've given myself in a long time. I'm glad I didnt chicken out as I met a wonderful fellow there, Micheál aka @foxyrobber 💗 Wild camping, more wild retreats, gigs as autumn set in and here we are approaching the end of this year and Samhain the start of a new turn around the Celtic Wheel.
🌸
The Cosmos happily blooming away nearing the end of October really make me smile. I found the opened, out of date seed packet and sprinkled them into some empty pots. Here they are to remind me that is a mad old world, to always follow your heart, let nature do its thing and to keep an eye out for those little pops of colour. I'm so grateful for this past year and especially the time since the Solstice. A truly wild and wonderful ride. Here's to more of that goodness and Grá Mór to all the wonderful folk that joined in the frolicking/macnas.

This is the EMS jumper. It's the Eileen minus the rib, instead a rolled hem. The Cream with one Celeste Blue cuff and a Scarlet kerchief are a fresh lively combination.

This time last year we did a shoot with sisters Megan & Kitty Cusack. Photographer Kate Bean worked her magic as always. We rose early to capture the dawn for our FIRST LIGHT collection. We love this shoot.
♡
Just another reminder to get your orders in early this year to avoid disappointment. As we have a smaller team this year our capacity is lower. The closer it gets to December the less we can knit... so order soon if you want a woollie knit this year!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

I'm loving this beautiful warm autumn weather. Millie and I had a magic day sailing around Roaring Water Bay yesterday. Well Fred was sailing, Millie did fine job of steering and I was mainly along for the ride. Although I did do some half hitch knots to tie the support bouys to the side of the boat when we docked. Amazing the places craft (macrame) and sailing combine!
🍂
I'm so grateful to be able to take a day to go on an impromptu adventure and be able to make up the missed time elsewhere. Life is for living and be-ing.
🍂
We went to Oileán Chléire for a picnic and stroll to Lough Errul. Picked juicy blackberries from the hedgerows in the glorious sunshine. A day to remember.
