We've found a good use for the waste thread that's left over from making pompoms. Using this for attaching the swing tags makes perfect sense. Also not bothering with a safety pin. Simplifying our methods and reducing waste are key to out ethos. We'll always be looking for way to improve! #liadainaikenknitwear #lahats #ethicalknitwear #ethicallymade #reducewaste #sustainablefashion #sustainablepackaging #madetoorder #madeinireland #irishcraft #irishknitwear #irishfashiondesigner #irishknitweardesigner (at Liadain Aiken Knitwear)

I absolutely love this photo of Ciara in her lipstick hat. @ciaraodonovan. My favourite clash is Pink & Red. Her beautiful red hair just sets it off even more. #liadainaikenknitwear #lambswool #pinkandredhair #redhair #redheadsdoitbetter #pinkandred #madeinireland #ethicallymade #ethicalfashion #ecofashion #sustainablefashion #wearingirish #irishcreatives #ethicalknitwear #slowfashion #fashrev

Throwback Thurday to August 2015 when I knit a replica of the jumper that Colin Farrell wore in Intermission. One of those jobs that you take on even though you're not sure if you can actually pull it off. But excitement and determination get you there. And an expensive new knitting machine that has been worth every penny since.
