Want to hear a story about how I made this custom fit hand knitted cardigan? #mhhsbd #handmade #UKMakers #CraftBizParty #knittingstory

No such thing as too many stripes! You’re wee one will love an autumn toddle in this hoodie. buff.ly/IRVn2ty #mhhsbd #handmade #giftideas

HandKnics is all about stripes this week, and this white, green, and pink bonnet is one of my favourites. Lightweight, cosy, and designed to keep your ears warm without ruining your hairstyle, a perfect accessory for everyday wear. buff.ly/Tfh6xNv #mhhsbd

You may have noticed I've been a bit quiet on social media lately due to workload and holidays. #MyAssistantFran made it very clear that this was not approved. Despite several strongly worded complaints, she hasn't come up with a solution, except taking more tea breaks. #mhhsbd

Autumn's now here, evenings are darker, it's time to think about staying visible without sacrificing style. I've reflective knitted flower brooches for £10, to attach to your coat, bag, or scarf, helping you look fabulous whilst being seen. buff.ly/KOiBW9m #mhhsbd

Latest commission heading out to its new home. If you’re interested in getting someone special a unique handmade gift, check out HandKnics on Etsy. There’s still time to commission one for Christmas. buff.ly/CsRCQpz #mhhsbd #giftideas #handmade

What a jolly bunch of parcels heading out the door! Full of knitted goodies. #mhhsbd

I'm teaching a workshop on 7 Nov. If you're in Edinburgh area and want to learn how to make your items look more professional with finishing techniques - check out Edinburgh Council Adult Education pages. buff.ly/zG4wBrA #mhhsbd #learntoknit

It's been busy here at HandKnics HQ over the last few weeks due to holidays, teaching and commissions keeping the needles going. Glad Friday is finally here and hoping to get some gardening done at the weekend. #mhhsbd

I’m setting up my materials for teaching before everyone arrives. We were talking about mistakes and how to fix them. #mhhsbd #knitting

Fran has entered her “deep contemplation” phase. She’s thinking about yarn. Or snacks. Probably snacks. #MyAssistantFran #mhhsbd

My timeless Fair Isle with a pop of autumn red. This bonnet has been one of your favourites, so I'm delighted to be restocking it. The finishing touches are almost complete, and it'll be available in the shop shortly. buff.ly/m9o5r3M #mhhsbd #babyknits #handmade

It's Monday, so I'm off to craft club. #MyAssistantFran has finished her supervisory duties (mostly by not helping), and I'm hoping to come home with fewer stitches left to knit than I started with. #mhhsbd

My assistant Fran has completed her daily inspection. Verdict: ✔️ Leopard print bonnet = approved ✔️ Yarn stash = acceptable ❌ My snack supply = insufficient Running a knitting business is hard when your assistant is this demanding. #MyAssistantFran #mhhsbd

A lot of people think that a handknitted item needs special care. Don't worry - most don't! My handknits can be machine washed and all come with care instructions so they stay looking great for years to come! buff.ly/m9o5r3M #mhhsbd #handmade

This week I've been working on a bonnet commission, just like this one, and it's clear that the Autumn preparations are in full swing. Did you know you can commission your own handcrafted bonnet to complement your autumn wardrobe? Get in touch via HandKnics on Etsy. #mhhsbd
