Marshmallow update!
I’ve been away from social media these past few days because I had to take this girl to a specialist and just didn’t have the brain to think of anything else.
They’ve performed some tests and her issue could be something as simple as a food allergy to something as scary as lymphoma, with other stuff in between.
We’re a little worried but trying to stay positive. We should know more once some tests come back, so then I’ll keep you posted. Thank you to all the lovely people who’ve been asking about Marshmallow ❤️

Christmas wreaths are coming to the shop! They’ll arrive in a couple of days ☺️ I hope you’re as excited as I am 🎉

Bauble time...

My hands and elbows are not going to let me make many more of these! If you fancy a mini tree, I’ll be taking orders for 2 or 3 more and that’s it... DM me if interested, they are £35 plus p&p.
Enjoy your Sunday!

The difference between firm(ish) felting and not-quite-there. It’s about an hour’s difference 😆
I’m making mini trees for some customers, if you fancy one there’s still time to order some! Message me or comment ☺️
It’s £35 plus p&p for a tree, you can choose the green on the tree (light, medium or dark). Fun stuff!

Ok, this might not look like much but I’m soooo excited about it!
This is a petticoat, to be worn under dresses. I made it - and when I say I made it, I mean I drafted the pattern, cut the fabric and *hand sewed* all the stitches! Some was sewn whilst watching part of The Godfather trilogy, some watching Ratatui. Don’t know why that makes me giggle but it does 😆
Anyway, you know what this whole thing means? It means now I’ll have to make the dress that goes over this petticoat! I’ll machine sew that one, though 😅

What have you created lately? Care to share?

Apparently I completely forgot to post anything these past 3 days. Can’t accuse me of being addicted to social media! So here’s a colourful hand dyed wool top for your viewing pleasure (available in the Wool Top section of my shop) 😉 #eleanorshadow

I got a request for a mini tree a few days ago. This was from an old Etsy listing, and I’m so surprised it showed up in their search! Anyway, I was happy to oblige, and here she is. I missed needle felting (my elbow didn’t 😆)
I think I’m going to post a pre-order listing in my shop for a few of these...🤔

Not going anywhere today, but I needed some spark.

Not going anywhere today, but I needed some spark. Wearing my Rosa Cardigan for the first time, loving how the post-knit dye went - looks mottled and well worn, which I really like. It’s cozy, too. So cozy, in fact, I’ve started on a new one that I’ll also dye after knitting 😬
.
I’ll probably stay off social media for a bit, the US election result is getting to me. Stay safe and be kind to each other! 😘

I’ve been kindly tagged in a similar post by @spottylottieuk 😽 so I’m passing the idea on. (Image by @helloplewsy)

This year more than ever it’s crucial to support independent businesses. Ones that truly appreciate each order as that means they can pay their bills and feed their families.....not pay shareholders. It’s been a dreadful year for so many different businesses and my heart goes out to those bricks and mortar stores that have suffered the most.

So I’ve tagged all sorts of indie makers in this post and forgive me if I’ve missed you out, it’s not intentional!

@royalmailofficial are going to feel the strain more so this year as the only option is shopping online. So by shopping a little early and spreading the load we can help them too 📮❤️. #shopearlyforchristmas #shoplocal #shopsmall #handmadeisbest

My face after having to shampoo my hair for the first time in 3 years... How do you guys do it?! My hair was horribly squeaky and tangled, is this why you need conditioner afterwards? 😳
Now off to work. Enjoy your days 😅

My baby warming herself up by the window. I love her so much ❤️ She’s still not fully recovered, so keep sending those good vibes her way!

This is Rusty Door in Modena. As per usual when photographing blues, the real deal is a bit deeper and richer. It has bits of reds and browns here and there, just like a rusty patina on a grand blue door in a palace.
This is a limited edition 4-ply yarn base, a high twist merino, cashmere and nylon. It knits up beautifully, with lots of definition.
Looking to knit something gorgeous for yourself or a loved one? This is the yarn for you 🖤

What do you think of my (nearly) finished Rosa Car

What do you think of my (nearly) finished Rosa Cardigan? Normally she’d just need weaving in of ends, a soak and a gentle block (and buttons!) However, I’m about to attempt an experiment! I shall dye this beauty and see how it looks... this can either be genius or folly, let’s see which 😆

Freshly listed. Unisex face coverings, 100% cotton

Freshly listed. Unisex face coverings, 100% cotton, with nose wire and interlined. In my shop now at EleanorShadow.com ❤️

For those who love super defined blocks of colour,

For those who love super defined blocks of colour, you can’t go wrong with single ply yarns. They take up dye like no other.
Cauldron of Misfits is a collection of yarns dyed for fun, with no agenda or planning. The results are fun and unrepeatable colourways. Once gone, they’re gone for good!
Get some knitting done this weekend - any order placed before 4pm will be sent today and arrive tomorrow if in the UK 😀
