This page collects shop updates, commission availability notices, new work additions, and occasional notes on what's happening around the studio. It's not a proper news feed with dates and headlines — more a running note that gets updated when something changes. For longer writing on the work itself, the journal is the better place to start.
The shop is currently open. The bench has a few pieces that came off recently: a ripple throw in a gradient of blues, a linen-cotton market bag in natural, and the latest run of fingerless mitts in a speckled tweed. The photography side has new frames from the swan series and a small set of garden bird prints from earlier in the year.
Commission slots are open for crochet work and watercolour portraits. Turnaround times are currently running at the shorter end of normal — three to four weeks for a blanket, two to three weeks for a watercolour portrait. If you're after something for a specific date, now is a good time to enquire. See the prices page for current pricing, or the commissions page for the full process.
The projects page has been updated with completions from the past few months. Notable recent additions:
The gallery has the fuller breakdown by category if you want to see what the studio is currently working across.
The guide pages have been expanded over the past year. The crochet section now covers basic stitches and terminology, how to read a pattern, the best yarn choices for beginners, good weekend-sized projects, and a full introduction to amigurumi for people who want to try their first stuffed animal. These pages are written from practice, not lifted from elsewhere, and they get updated when something turns out to be wrong or when a better way of explaining something comes up.
If there's something you'd like to see covered on the site that isn't here — a technique, a pattern type, a question that keeps coming up — email. The guides grow around what people actually want to know.
