...I've unpacked my mobile shop for the last time this year and have lit the fire and put my feet up ready for a rest - and look forward to a couple of weeks off. 
A sad end to the season with torrential rain and gale force winds in Kelso on Saturday meant that we didn't get such a good Christmas market as last year, but well done to everyone who turned out - stallholders and customers alike!
I've now got to settle down with the diary for 2014 and all the application forms for events, fairs and festivals to plan where we will go next year.
To finish off the year, I've put a special 50% discount on all my patterns, so go through to my pattern pages here, decide what to buy and all discounts are applied before checkout.
Thank you to everyone who has been following skybluepink designs over 2013, please keep coming back to check for new things - I won't really be doing nothing for a fortnight, my mind is already working on new projects!

As if I haven't enough to do at the moment, inspiration arrives at the strangest times!  I was at St Abbs last weekend for our regular Friday market and saw folks tapping away on their smart phones and i-pads, all being tucked away in dull brown and black leather cases, so I thought, they need a little colour in their lives!  
Ask any knitter and the solution is obvious, the natural thing to do was to make a smart phone sock and here it is in all it's pure Shetland wool loveliness. 
I'm busy writing up the patterns and knitting some more designs/colourways and will be publishing them later this week... kits with yarn and patterns also coming - ever so cheap to send out in the post and enough time to knit one between now and Christmas. Please order via the contact form - but can you wait until the end of the week?  Thank you!! :)
I call this one the St Abbs phone sock as that's where I made it and the colours are just the same as the sea and the sky.
