Just a quick one

Posted by Crazy Knitter22 at 2:07 pm 0 comments

 Just to let everyone know I was just busy with other stuff which made me a bit lazy updating my blog.

Just quickly, if you are still looking for a great gift for a knitter HOBBII has a great Advent Calendar for Knitter reduced to £74. It's absolutely worth it. 

I explain why. As an Aspie I like to know exactly what I am getting.

I have opened now the 3rd box and when I am adding up everything I received I am already on about £100 worth of material.

I am not going to tell you what exactly you will get but it's really great.

So off you go and buy your wife, fiancée, girlfriend, sister, mother etc a great gift.

I'm still here

Posted by Crazy Knitter22 at 11:31 am 0 comments

 I haven't posted much over the past couple of months mainly because I was so busy.

I have knitted a whole bunch of baby items I will post for sale in my stores soon. I just need to take some better pictures, which I was going to the other day and the something distracted me and I completely forgot. Damn Aspie brain. 

A few months ago someone in one of the knitting groups talked about an online store and their mystery bag of sock yarn. Of course I had to get one.


I was so happy with their service so I had to buy some more yarn and yarn cakes. The yarn cakes are GORGEOUS! The colours are exactly as pictures. Such beautiful colours.

I am knitting this shawl atm. (almost finished)


The shop I am talking about is HOBBII
The prices are very reasonable, going from every day acrylic to luxury merino yarn. And like I mentioned the yarn cakes limited edition and regular are just amazing. And so far anything I bought looked exactly as it was pictured. The shipping times of course depend of where you live. My orders usually arrived within 7 days, mostly earlier. 👍





Macramé Wall art

Posted by Crazy Knitter22 at 11:10 am 0 comments

 Bought this macramé crafting set from Aldi the sales. 

They gave more than enough string to make two. The dye could have been a little stronger though.

It was fun to make. I haven't made anything in macramé for decades.

IKEA Storage

Posted by Crazy Knitter22 at 3:26 pm 0 comments

 I needed some LED bulbs from IKEA. When I need something so cheap I usually add a few other items to spread out the postage. I always wanted something to put away the large shawls. I have a few and they would clutter up quite a bit space. And I had them everywhere.

I though why not a shoe hanging thingy. I have space behind the door.

It's called SKUBB Hanging Shoe Organiser and it's perfect.


Then I bought 2 SKUBB Storage Cases 44x55x19cm for my handknitted sweaters and cardigans. They fit perfectly in my wardrobe. I never had moths up here but still.


Then I have this slim wardrobe that usually had sweaters and shirts hanging. I just don't like sweaters, even bought ones on hangers. They lose shape. Then I spotted the SKUBB Storage with 9 compartments. It fit perfectly. The shirts are now in the other wardrobe and my sweaters rest comfy.


I also bought 2 sizes SPANTAD vacuum-sealed bags.

All together without shipping and the bulbs it cost me £21.50. Absolutely worth every penny.

Wardrobe declutter

Posted by Crazy Knitter22 at 3:20 pm 0 comments

 I mentioned that I won't be using eBay anymore. But unfortunately after checking all these apps and stuff I came to the conclusion if I wanted to get rid of stuff quickly and safely the best and efficient way is still eBay. Anyway, to stop eBay having access to our joint account I opened a new bank account and I am using this only for eBay. I check with the bank I chose and they said that it was perfectly fine. It means I can save this money for when there is an emergency. Mainly I am saving up for a new desk chair. I want something really comfy.

I ship almost everywhere but only UK has free shipping.

Everything I am selling is of perfect quality with the odd signs of wear that are impossible to avoid. Unless you walk around with your arms stretched out. 😂

Anyway, I am having a massive declutter of our wardrobes because of our disabilities we can't go out as much anyway, so why would any of us need 10 pairs of jeans or 20 jumpers or 30 pairs of shoes. That's just bonkers.

I am adding atm the first batch of clothing. Once done I will start sorting out the next batch, take pictures and get it ready to list.

Click on the logo to get to my listings. Thanks in advance!
