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.

Another parcel headed out in the post. Wrapped using butcher paper and string. Hand written post card in a recycled brown paper envelope. Keeping it simple as always. ▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎
I've been a bit lax on the new posts front. Doing lots of planning to move forward. Simplifying everything down as much as possible. Building up the communication with my knitters, having to recalibrate patterns to their machines. It takes time and we are slowly and steadily working through it. So please bare with us. ▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎
In the mean time I will aim to take you on the journey with us and show you some behind the scenes pics of the progress.
Big love. Be well & happy. Cosy & Colourful.💕

Love these pics of @chloe_nagle of all the ways she wears her kerchief! Esp this one as a head scarf! Thanks Chloe.
How do you wear your kerchief? Would love to see some photos. ▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎
The kerchiefs are made in soft lambswool. This one is Coral Pink.

The back of a piece is often more interesting than the front, as it shows the crafters hand. The front is so neat, little dashes but the back stitches overlap and weave around.
The tidying of the ends away neatly is as important to me as the front. It completes the piece and if the piece has meaning, it is the final step to untangle and place each thought away with new perspective.

There is a lovely blog called Roaring Water Journal written and curated by @finolafinlay and her partner Robert. If you are living or visiting West Cork is it a sure way to find out what and who are hidden in the surrounding hills and bays. Finola kindly bought Robert a bespoke jumper and consultation at my studio for his birthday. Then wrote this lovely piece about it. We had great fun with Robert choosing his fun colour palette as you'll see in the blog and my next few posts. Delighted to a part of this wonderful blog and to meet this inspiring couple.
