A seaside cottage....

Hello,

One of my dreams is to own a little cottage either by the sea or in an isolated location perhaps in the Peak District or on the west coast of Scotland, ideally with stunning views. 

This is just one of my many daydreams! 

So I got very excited recently when I am across a kit on the internet for knitting my own seaside cottage. This kit is sold by 'The Little Knit Kit Company' and what is great news, is that the kit is currently available to purchase in the sale. So it didn't take me to long to decided to order the kit and it arrived about two weeks, and what a delightful package! 


The kit is presented in a brown bag which in turn arrived wrapped in pink tissue paper with cute stickers on the outer packing. 


And inside the brown bag there is wool, needles, pattern, stuffing, felt, sewing thread, buttons and beads - in fact everything you need to complete the cottage!


 Here are some close up photos of how the cottage will look when complete. 


Look at the cute beads, as flowers, around the door - I think this will be trickiest bit of the kit. 


 So it wasn't long after the package arrived before I had the needles out and I started on my cottage.  


 This is the first wall under construction. The kit is easy to complete with knitting in garter stitch  and only simple shaping and sewing up to undertake. 


 Here we are a couple of weeks later with all four walls and the roof knitted, and the 
base is underway. 
 

This is a lovely kit - an enjoyable, easy knitting project.  


And with the Bank Holiday weekend here, it may not be too long before my own little dream cottage is complete!

Have a good weekend

  4. Brilliant! I'd love a little cottage as well, they are so cosy and solid. One by the sea would do me very nicely. I shall look forward to seeing it when it's done. CJ xx

  5. How cute, knit your own cottage! I'm looking forward to seeing the end result.
    Maybe I could knit some diy repairs to my own real-life cottage?!
