There's never enough knit...

So, what else have I been up to since finishing second year? Lounging around all day watching Come Dine with Me? Chilling with friends? Sleeping away the never ending exhaustion of student life?

No- I've been getting a little bit of work experience!




Janie Knitted Textiles is a small knit company based in Welbeck, Nottinghamshire.And a few weeks ago I spent a few days over a few weeks working alongside them! 

Ran by the brilliant Jane Whithers and Micheal Hanmer, they specialise in making stunning interior products, including the most fabulous knitted lampshades. They also have a gorgeous range of cushions, bags, hot water bottles, and many more- but the lampshades are by far my favourite!

We even got to have a go at making one of our own!







In just four days, I learnt so much about what it takes to run a small business- from trade shows to product promotion, from the small 'boring' jobs that make the business run, to the final packaging and delivering of a product. I'm honestly so grateful for the time I got to spend with them! And still oh so jealous of their fab lampshades!!
