Fresh on Folksy: Knitting

Welcome to my blog

Welcome to Fresh on Folksy, a place for me to shout about all the wonderful and inspirational handmade goods from the creative makers selling on Folksy. There is no favouritism or any kick backs, it's simply things I find on Folksy that I like and would part money with. Some will be new goods and some will be older but all will have some element of creative genius.

Here's to all those makers, to all those who strive to create wondrous things from nothing, here's to all those who bring a little whimsy into our lives, they should be celebrated and commended.

I myself, peddle my wares on Folksy, you can find me lurking over at Ed's Place come over and say hello if you get a moment.

So as not to confuse anyone or mislead I would like to point out that I do not work for Folksy or have any affiliation with Folksy. I do what I do simply to promote the Folksy sellers and by definition Folksy itself. The views expressed on this blog are mine and mine alone.

Monty the Fox Lambswool Plush

Monty the Fox Lambswool Plush by Sara Carr

This handsome devil of a fox is made to order but you have to agree it would be well worth the wait. He would be a household favourite in our house for sure. Foxes not your thing? Head over to Sara's shop, there's plenty to choose from. I particularly like Kevin the extra long caterpillar.

Sock Bunny Rabbit

Sock Bunny Rabbit by Oddsox

Now this little chap looks like he takes a very casual approach to life but then it's not very stressful being a bunny is it now? Bunnies not your thing (heartless?) there's plenty of other sock critters and crochet creatures in the Oddsox shop.

Sock Monkey

Sock Monkey by Siansburys

Now I know they have been around for what seems like forever, but I still love sock monkeys, this one particularly reminds me of the one from the Tetleys tea adverts. He looks innocent enough but there's always something a little unnerving about these little fellas. I love the name of Sian's shop too and there's still time to get one of these little fellas into someones stocking for Christmas if you buy today and need it posting to Western Europe.

Flower Headwarmer

Flower Headwarmer by Potting shed Crafts

Another feature of our craft fair experience was the crochet (although this one is knitted) headwarmer. I personally think they look great and as it was freezing, especially on Saturday, they were essential to stop the ladies from becoming ice statues and the place looking like the white witches's castle from Narnia. I quite fancy one myself but I'm not sure I can pull it off being a fella.

Garnet red oversized grunge sweater

Garnet red asymmetrical Version2 oversized grunge sweater by iLEAiYE

Sticking with the knitted theme and lazy Sundays, I think this sweater works. What I know about fashion (although I am no fashion slouch) can be written on a postage stamp but I know what I like to see, and I like to see this
