The start of Yarn Quest! :: Knitting & Nerdy

This is just the beginning! Join in the Yarn Quest by grabbing a pattern here. It's all organised by Tania Richter. You follow along a story as you knit- and the choices you make determine what happens in your knitting, you roll the dice to determine your fate and your double-knitting charts! It's nerdy and I'm obsessed!!!

Events and Classes! Spring/Summer 2017 :: Shop Talk

It's been a long time coming, but we're getting sorted with a class/event schedule. It's one of the most requested things in store, classes. We're a really small team so there's only so much we can do- personally I barely have the energy to keep the shop running, let alone run a whole bunch of classes or organise teachers to come- but I know it's something ya'll have wanted for a long time AND I'm really happy to do what I can. So take a little lookie-loo and see if there's anything that takes your fancy. Our events in store are always fun and totally worth a visit!

Pinafores and Baseball Tees. :: Style

There are three things that are staples in the wardrobe right now: Flower Crowns (buy here!), Baseball tees (this one is vintage) and high waisted skirts. I especially LOVE this pinafore dress that I found on Simply Be (I know, not my usual kind of store but it's GREAT for plus size staples and bras and stuff. Yes!) that's actually designed by a youtuber, Sprinkle Of Glitter. Anyway I love it and it's super comfy and goes with everything. It's like my new favourite pair of jeans (I don't really wear jeans anymore, is that terrible?! haha).
This outfit is a bit matchy-matchy but you guys know me, I love that! even the little red tabs on my Vans match my flower crown and my top. hehe. I'm such a nerd.

My hair is just fading away here, but it's a little bit curly which always makes me feel fancy and good. Up in an Ariana Grande ponytail (which has been perfect for summer, omg this heat!) I kind of feel like a cheerleader. Where are my pompoms? I tell you what, I've been wearing flower crowns nearly everyday, it's such a life saver for me when I feel my hair is super messy and gross, I pop one on and boom, instant pretty hair.
Pretty sure I'm wearing no makeup at all in these photos. I'm chill like that. Some days I wear a full face, some days nothing at all. All depends on how I'm feeling.
It's been so long since I've done an outfit post, blimey! Feel like I'm still getting used to blogging again, so bare with me while I find my groove again. How have you all been? Are you looking forward to autumn? I can't wait!
