Kate Davies Knit, Read, Walk: The West Highland Way
£19.99
Kate Davies and Tom Barr live by Scotlands best-loved long-distance walking route: the West Highland Way. In this collaborative creative project they celebrate their home, their workplace, and the landscape which inspires them every day. Kate began by creating a collection of twelve hand-knit designs, each with its own distinctive story to tell. Balanced equally between garments and accessories, you might choose to knit a tweedy cardigan which echoes the mossy palette of Conic Hill, a delicate jumper recalling a favourite plant found on Rannoch Moor, or a shawl sparked by the energy of the Highlands first electric village. Each design is paired with an exploratory essay which sets Kates designs and inspiration in their richer context. From Rob Roys romantic (mis)representation to the beautiful songs of Donnchadh Bàn; from Loch Lomonds built environment to ways of seeing Rannoch Moor, Kates writing reveals the West Highland Way as, first and foremost, a social landscape with an important cultural history. Kates words and designs are accompanied by Toms stunning photography, depicting the West Highland Way in all seasons of the year.
Why not turn these pages to walk, read and knit with Kate and Tom? Open up this book, join them on their journey, and make your own West Highland Way.

Purl & Jane Bell Beck Jumper
£4.50
Bell Beck Jumper - Purl & Jane by Jane Ellison
This simple garter stitch jumper is perfect for beginners or those who are knitting their first baby garment after a while away from knitting. There have been lots of knitters like that who pop into Purl &Jane’s Skipton studio, most have been away for about 30 or 40 years.
This is a great jumper to start with because it is only two squares and then once you’ve knitted them and got your mojo back then the simple increasing on the sleeves will seem easy to do.
Garter stitch is one of my favourite stitches, and one that some overlook calling it “too basic”. However it’s the simplicity that makes it so beautiful, especially when knitted in a gorgeous yarn.

I love projects that use up left overs or small amounts of yarn and I really adore adding beads to crochet stitches,
so I am really excited that the pattern for the beaded pouches are now available for all you eager crocheters who
love stash busting projects and a bit of bling too!
The pattern includes instructions for two versions, which I have called Cafe au Lait (the brown coffee one) and French Linen
(the pale flax coloured version). You can choose whether or not to add lots of beads and a pretty additional flower, which I
have taken from the Fruit Garden Blanket project and revamped a little.

Jane Crowfoot Glad Tidings Wrap
£6.95
The Glad Tidings Wrap was originally designed as the Advent project for Jimmy Beans Wool in the US and released in December 2021. The original design used 16 mini skeins of yarn, with a new shade added to the design each day in the lead up to Christmas. The design is a great stash-buster if you have lots of little bits of left over 4-ply yarn, or you could use a curated collection of mini skeins.
The wrap is made by working a central crochet band which is added to daily. In the Jimmy Beans version the colours used on each side of the central band pretty much matched each other in terms of colour and we have made a version using Scheepjes Whirl, which does the same. You could create a quite different effect by using random shades or treating the wrap like a 'temperature' project where you assign colours to different temperatures and select your yarn according to the warmth of the weather that day. However you choose to approach making the wrap, I hope you will enjoy creating this project.
The pattern includes full written instructions, images and charts, and is available in UK and US terms.
