Keeping Calm and Knitting Cake!

Posted 24th March 2020

Well, as you can probably guess from the extended gap between the launch of our last pattern back in September 2019, we've been spending a loooong time planning and perfecting our next knitting pattern design, choosing just the right materials, the right methods, the right photographs... we really did think we'd got it all covered. Until the bit where in the meantime everything else in the world went what can only be described as Very. Wrong. Indeed.

And so as we all get ready to sit things out at home for the foreseeable future, we hope that in some small way you might just be a little bit cheered by these pictures from our brand new Collapsible Cake Stand Knitting Pattern, available right now for purchase as a Kindle Edition from the Amazon UK website.

A perfect centrepiece to any knitted tea party, this collapsible (not collapsing!) cake stand can be assembled or disassembled in a mere matter of moments for easy storage and stands approximately 36cm in height when made to the tension specified in the pattern.

Included in this pattern - which is best suited to knitters with intermediate to advanced knitting skills - are all the details you'll need to knit not only the cake stand itself, but also a plentiful pile of woolly goodies to go on it, specifically Daisy Cupcakes, Fondant Fancies and a Sandwich Selection with seven scrummy fillings to choose from.

As always, there's more to read about our new pattern on our Patterns to Buy page, but before you click on that link, we've one more piece of news to share with you in that in light of the current situation and with further restrictions on movement pending, we've really had no choice but to bring forward the plans we'd already been making to go online only, meaning that with immediate effect, it will no longer be possible to purchase our patterns via mail order. Arrangements are currently being made for the closure of our PO Box address, and as such we would ask that customers please refrain from sending any further correspondence to this address. We do appreciate that customers who prefer paper patterns may be disappointed by this change and apologise if this is so, however we hope that in time you might be tempted to give our ever-expanding range of Kindle Edition patterns a try - it's a handy format that allows us to pack our patterns with lots more detail and photographs than we're generally able to fit onto a printed page.

And so on that note, and whatever your next project may be, let's pick up our knitting needles and get ready to keep calm and knit on!

Take care, everybody - back soon!
