Here in the Gift in a Tin office our new Commercial Manager, Amy, has just been telling us about Daisy Lowe being spotted in a leather mini and a chunky hand knitted jumper. Apparently Daisy is a huge knitting fan and loves to knit, so we're sending her one of our Knit Gift Tins of beautiful British Alpaca so she can have fun knitting herself a trendy scarf. Maybe we'll see it when she gets papped next.
This is our Daisy Lowe, aka Helen, a friend of Gift in a Tin who kindly does a spot of modelling for us. She's wearing the scarf made from our Beginners' knitting kit Gift Tin. It's really simple to make and super cosy to wear.
We've also been looking at the Innocent Smoothies' campaign to knit little woolley hats for their drinks. They've teamed up with Age Concern to keep our elderly people warm and cosy this winter by getting people to knit hats and donating money. What a great idea.
Knitting is really surging again in popularity. People love to make their own accessories. It means what you have on, is not only made by hand, by you, but not everyone else is wearing the same thing! You know what it's like when you spot a lovely hat or scarf in a high street shop and the next time you wear it, you spot at least five other people wearing exactly the same thing!
So why not try your hand at a spot of knitting as these nights draw in?
See you at Gift in a Tin soon.
Anne
