Dec previews: Studio Aitch and hip crochet...

Brrr! Can you feel that? Yes, it is 'summer' slipping away and the cold damp fog descending on us again, but fear not!...On Dec 1st we hit Leeds again for the Christmas event, and by god (even if I do say it myself) there are some stonking people to come and see!...

New to us, is Studio Aitch (good name isn't it?) making all kinds of crochet wonderment and other goodies such as illustrated brooches...perfect stocking fillers!

Studio Aitch is Harriet, she works from a home studio in Sheffield and she says she gets inspired by memories, places and doodles.  Her work ranges from crochet hand warmers ('hand huggers'), to gorgeous peter pan collars, to lovely hats, cowls to charming hand drawn brooches.  She also has a range of limited edition lino prints.

Catch her from 10am Saturday Dec 1st at Leeds Corn Exchange with us!
