Atomic Knitting - Design Update

Atomic Knitting Stitch Markers have really taken off this year, with new limited edition stitch marker collections added monthly, these are proving really popular with customers. The April collection of markers are just being finished, ready for launch later this month. Here's sneaky peek at a few...

The Island Collection was featured in the March 08 Issue of Quick and Crafty magazine as a coveted knitting accessory, and is selling fast, with only a few sets left. The collection will be closing at the end of March.

The Russian Doll Collection has flown out of the shop! This incredibly cute and popular babushka collection in available in a range of colours and features a clasp to hold all the markers together when not in use and can also be used to clip directly on to a stitch.

Back after a long break from blogging!

It's been a long time since I last posted.....but that's because I've been busy busy busy! So what's new...where am I now?

Well, since the last blog date, as well as selling handmade jewellery, I've also set up a bead & pendant online store called Starlight Beads UK. As you can imagine, making jewellery means that you get through and seek out, lots of beads, more really than can be used...hence Starlight Beads UK. So beads and pendants can be bought direct online or via the eBay store. You can see an advert for Starlight Beads in Beads and Beyond Magazine this month.

In tandem to Starlight Beads, the stitch markers and knitting jewellery also have their own website and advertising. The premium stitch markers & row counters are sold under the Atomic Knitting brand on their own website, with appearances in the Bohobeads eBay store, and also on Etsy. Wholesale stitch marker options are also available through the website. Atomic knitting is advertised in Simply Knitting magazine and Let's Knit. We were also featured in the March issue of Quick & Crafty magazine with our Bahamas stitch markers which are part of The Island collection.

A380 Lands at Filton for the first time

Up early again to get to Bristol in time to see the A380 land. Not that this is common knowledge of course....mind you 6000 people turned up to watch :)

Deciding that Cribbs Causeway shopping centre was the best place to view the landing, once parked up, with lunch in hand (from M&S of course) then it was up on the grassy knoll to watch. After half an hour of waiting, with quite a few onlookers, the A380 came into sight off the estuary and flew over the Filton Airbus site and Rolls Royce site before looping back towards the estuary to land. It was so quiet for such a huge plane whilst in the sky, and then touched down on the runway with the roar of full thrust reversers. An amazing sight. Pictures and hopefully a movie clip to follow....
