Quick update

I have been busy this week. I have finished the custom longies that I have been working on...

I have been dyeing wool...

And I have been busy working on my new website. All being well I am hoping to open shop on the 1st February. Just a quick update really as I must get on and sort of the website!

Lots happening at Snoozley Woozley Baby

Where to start! Well I have ordered a WAHM cart so the new website will be up and running soon. I am hoping for the begining of Feb. So excited to actually have a date in mind for opening! Yay! I am soon to put in an order of Addi lang circular needles, possibly knit pro needles (although these might come later), lanolin, more yarn, more dye and hopefully some fleece soakers too.

I am working on my first custom knit using yarn that the recipient has sent to me from jellynosechic. Here are the progress pics from yesterday. I am currently half way down the first leg but haven't uploaded the pics yet. They look much more like a pair of longies now.

If you are interested in a custom knit please contact me. You don't need to wait for the shop to open. I can knit with your own yarn or dye some to your specific choice of colours.

My yarn was dispatched last week so I am hoping it will be here Monday or Tuesday.

Testers have been chosen for the longies design and details can be found on my WAHM thread on CNT. Those who are testers have been contacted.

Just because they are cute here is the last pair of longies I made for Lucas using Luscious Little Somethings 'purple blues' colourway. I am very proud of these. They look fab and are so soft and snuggley.

Stiil no yarn

Still no yarn but at least I know why now. I had an email from by supplier last night to say that they hadn't had their delivery because of the snow so there is obviously a delay on my order. Gaah! So have to sit here tapping my fingers while I wait. Obviously can't get on with any tester choosing until I have something to knit so if you haven't emailed me your measurements you still have time. :) snoozleywoozleybaby@googlemail.com

Pics of my acid dyes

Here's the lovely packed dye kit. I am still waiting on my wool arriving. I don't think the postman is coming because of the snow :cry: I am desperate to get started on dying but will have to wait I guess. I have dye in the following colours; Wattle (yellow), Sage (green), Desert pea (red), Rasberry (purple), Marine (blue), and Currawong (black). I also have on the way from Luscious little somethings, Magenta, Orange, Turquoise and Navy. Can't wait to cook up some lovely colourways and knit them up. If anyone would like a particular colour I am more than happy to source it. Please ask.

TESTERS! I will be asking for details of testers just as soon as the wool gets here. I am happy that my longies pattern is ready so will be picking testers soon. There will be a thread on Cloth Nappy Tree WAHM section, just as soon as I am ready to get started :)

My next project is to work on my soaker pattern. I have an idea of how I want it to be but just need to get it knitted.

As usual if you would like to contact me regarding a custom knit I am happy to discuss your requirements. The Snoozley Woozley email address is a bit of a mouthful: snoozleywoozlebaby@googlemail.com.

Pics to follow of the wool just as soon as it comes.

Woohoo. My dye has arrived

I received my first delivery of acid dye this morning. Can't wait to get started when the wool arrives. I have taken pics of it but will upload them all together when I get the wool. I have made a soaker that I wanted to test before I licenced the pattern but it costs far too much to licence so I'm not going to bother! Pics to follow of this too. ;)

I have been in touch with knit pro and hope to be stocking symphonie interchangables. If there is any other knit pro products that you would like to see in the shop please let me know and I can put in an order for them.

I am in the process of getting quotes for lanolin to stock in the shop and hopefully bring a whole new range of scents and lanolin products.

Just really an update but definatly more to come. I'm getting very excited!
