for Ferrari - NOT FOR SALE

2009-09-21T21:57:00.002+01:00

I am very proud of this little jumper. This one was made especially for friends, it is NOT FOR SALE. "Ferrari" is what we call their as yet unborn child due to its father's obsession with motor-racing. I wanted to make them something appropriate but the prancing horse proved too difficult so I added the Italian flag to the ribbed edge.
It planted the seed of an idea which has become "Wonky Knits" which is why I wanted to share it with you all.

2009-09-21T21:42:00.005+01:00

Wonky Knits & small beginnings.....

2009-08-17T20:26:00.007+01:00

Hand knitted, hand stitched and hand finished garments for your beautiful babies and children. These products are unique and far from perfect: the patterns may be slightly askew; the neck-bands or sleeves a bit wonky and buttons imperfectly spaced but they have no labels or tags so you can pass them off as your own creations!

Most of the wool has been sourced from re-used and recycled bits, donations and oddments. Most of the packaging is recycled. All garments are washed in non-bio hand wash solution prior to posting.

Please pass them on to friends and family when they have served their purpose or donate to a charity shop.

NB. Garments have been knitted in a household containing a dog and a cat so please be careful if you or your child has allergies to animals!

Proceeds from the sale of these garments are being used to help cancer patients in the UK pay for the treatment they need which the NHS won't fund. See the links at the bottom of the page....
