Winter Woollies sales

Even though this morning’s weather was warmer, I was happy to sell a new beanie and cowl at Waikanae Community Market today.

These were a couple of my more ‘sombre’ colour ways; often my knitting is bright and bold!

My new online shop name and logo have been revised, to align with my current handknits as well as my Facebook page and Pinterest presence.

I first began knitting and selling under the name “Little Brother Big Brother”, as most of my knitwear was for or inspired by my grandsons. As they outgrew wanting to wear “Nanna Knits”, I incorporated that range with my generic “bronzart” offering, and for a while my online shop logo had both names.

Now that I’m mostly knitting women’s accessories – scarves, hats, tote bags – aligning them as “Quirky Knits” makes sense. I’m also introducing the generic descriptor “BronzCreative” as a prefix or sub-title to bring my various enterprises under one umbrella, so to speak.

You can read here about my original “Little Brother Big Brother” and see my cute grandsons; and on my main knitting page, follow the evolution of my knitting to its present “Quirky Knits“.
