This cute little kitty knit set is so cute, but then again so is everything else in this adorable shop!Let's learn a little more about this great seller:
~"I’m Debs Harding and I live in Cardiff, South Wales in the UK with my new husband Stewart. We got married about 2 months ago in a gorgeous ceremony here in Cardiff surrounded by family and friends. I am a keen dressmaker, and spent months repairing a vintage 50’s prom dress to wear on my big day – looked great! I’m also a complete knit-a-holic; my spare room is filled with yarns of all types and colours which I’ll use up at some point!
~"I launched my shop in November 2009 and word has been slowly spreading ever since! I sell knitted accessories and home wear of all kinds. Some of my favourite pieces include my novelty tea cosies – including bumble bees and ladybugs, and my new collection of lighter weight knits for year-round wear.
~"My inspirations come from looking around the high street and in fashion magazines in the UK for the latest trends, and how I can create knitted accessories to match these trends – this is where the inspiration for my slouch beanies came from, after seeing similar styles in stores such as Topshop. For my home wear I tend to look in vintage and charity stores to see vintage style tea cosies, and try to update them for 2010. I’m working on a whole new range of tea cosies ready for the festive season, including a basket of flowers cosy! I love Ravelry, and am a member of the Etsy Knitters, Etsy Sellers, Etsy UK and Etsy Cymru (Wales) teams – so spend time chatting with members and helping with as well as receiving advice!
~"Times have been tough here in Wales – the recession has hit us particularly hard and job and money is very tight for everyone. Sometimes it can take a lot to keep motivated, especially knitting with warm yarns when it is hot and sunny outside! Over the summer when things tend to quieten down, I spend time promoting and spreading the word about my goods, through social media and my new blog, and working on new ideas for when things pick up. I also try and target people who are now in the winter in the southern hemisphere, and sell a lot of chunkier items “Down Under”!
