New Goodies
Balanced, sharp and ideal for detail work.
The Go-To tool for crafters, sewists and embroiderers alike. Featuring one micro-serrated blade and one straight blade, they hold fabric in place as you cut, offering extra control and precision – particularly useful for smaller pattern pieces or curved edges.
Ideal for sewing, quilting, embroidery, appliqué, paper crafts and more. The silicone grip handle is soft and secure in the hand, making them a pleasure to use – even during longer sessions at the machine or cutting table.
Length:
Small - 104mm, blade 30mm
Medium - 152mm, blade 50mm
Large - 203mm, blade 88mm
Made in Taiwan, packed in Australia.
Care: Blades and points are very sharp - keep out of reach of children. If blades become sticky (e.g. from craft glue), wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Not dishwasher safe – blades will corrode if exposed to dishwasher detergent.
10,000 Knitted Hats is a fun and clever flip-page instruction book for designing and building your own unique headwear creations.
This interactive knitting book contains photographs of different hat brims, bodies and crowns that can be combined in a total of 10,626 ways to create unique hat patterns. Once you've chosen your design, turn over the pages for the correct written pattern for that combination of parts. You can then use the handy embellishments section to add any extra features to the basic design. The hat brims, bodies and crowns use many stitches, some familiar and others new. Find colour work, both easy and more challenging, along with slipped-stitch patterns, cables, lace and texture, all explained clearly in the handy techniques section.
Aimed at all ability levels, there is something for everyone. You'll never need another hat book!
Patterns call for DK weight/8ply yarn, and needle size depends on the chosen design, however typically 3.5mm-4mm needles.

Doodle knitting is all about having fun with pattern – choose your favourite motifs from the 200 different designs and then mix and match them to create unique projects.
The 200 motif designs include everything from flowers, leaves and mushrooms through to birds and animals. There are abstract designs that can be interspersed to break up the patterns and create interest so you can have endless doodling fun. You can combine them in any way you like, repeat your favourite designs, change the colourways and generally have fun 'doodling' with them. All the charts work together so you can have lots of fun exploring the endless options and making up their own combinations, playing with colours, adding in plain rows in between the charted rows and generally get creative.
There are instructions on how to use the charts across the 9 projects – they all have the same stitch count and work across each of the projects which include a range of accessories such as cowls, scarves, hats and mittens. The patterns only combine two colours on each row so it's suitable for beginners to colorwork, but the large selection of patterns and designs means that more advanced knitters will have plenty to inspire them.
