This is another photo of the crocheted granny square counter that Maya and I spent so many hours constructing. Our ‘floating box’.

Counter Action

~ Of Cabbages & Kings ~ 6 Comments

It’s been a long time coming, but today we finally finished the counter. Hurray!!! A contemporary take on the good old granny square. We were aiming for a floating box effect and I think that’s what we’ve achieved. The colours are rather stone-like, however it’s incredibly soft to touch as it’s constructed from Ushya, which is a chunky merino wool. Also, as the wool is only temporarily fixed, we’re free to change the look as we wish.

A big thanks to both Knit with attitude and Finch Munro for both the design and build/crochet of the project.

Licence to Grill

~ Of Cabbages & Kings ~ Leave a comment
It’s that time of year when baking fever takes over the country.  A new series of the Great British Bake Off began this week and we’ve got two new oven glove designs to jazz up your kitchen and aid you in your quest to create the perfect Victoria Sponge!

 

‘Rock Cake’ Double Oven Glove

Baking is the new rock ‘n’ roll (apparently), so we’ve come up with the ultimate rockin’ oven glove; a recipe of classic bands combined with dodgy baking puns, all in tattoo form.
Think ‘Bread Zeppelin’, ‘Rolling Scones’, ‘Tofu Fighters’, and 17 more ‘hilarious’ band puns, all inked onto a double oven glove. The perfect piece of kit for your next jam (making) session.
