🌿 The story behind Meadow & Willow…

I can't remember exactly when it started.

It could have been after school, during the summer holidays, or perhaps a Sunday afternoon. I must have been about seven or eight.

What I do remember is that I probably wasn't listening as well as I should have been.

My Nanna looked at me for a while, and then suddenly there was a little look in her eye. She adjusted her skirt as she sat down in her peacock blue armchair, which sat in her living room beside the full-length patio doors. Her carpet-style knitting bag sat on the floor to the left of her chair.

Slowly, she reached down into it and pulled out a pair of knitting needles.
I think this was her way of making sure I sat still for a while. 😂

She gave me some wool and taught me how to cast on.

And somehow, all these years later, I'm still doing it.

My love of knitting came from my Nanna and my Nanny. Two very special women who passed something on to me without either of them knowing quite where it would lead.

Now I'm a mum, and the M and the W in Meadow & Willow are for my two children. 🤍

So this little knitting adventure is more than just something I'm making. It's a piece of where I came from, something I've carried with me, and a tradition I'm now continuing with my own children.

Something my Nanna and Nanny gave me, I'm now passing on. 🤍

And perhaps my Nanna knew exactly what she was doing when she handed me those needles.

🧶 Currently on the needles…

Not quite ready to show you the finished piece yet, but I thought I'd share a little glimpse of what I'm working on.

Cream yarn, a lace pattern and quite a few rows still to go. 🤍

I'll let you know how it turns out…

🌿 A little collection made with a lot of love. 🧶

There is something rather special about knitting for your own family.

I think perhaps that's because, for me, knitting has always carried a little bit of history with it. It was something I learnt to love through my Nanna and my Nanny — two very special women who are no longer here, but whose influence is still woven into so much of what I do.

Whenever I pick up my needles, I think of them. The patterns, the stitches, the hours spent making something by hand… they feel like little pieces of a tradition that has been passed down.

And now I'm making these little things for the newest generation of our family.

There is something quite lovely about that.

Taking something they gave me, and carrying it forward. 🤍

Made by hand. Made for family. Made with love.

Soft, delicate & made for tiny moments 🤍

I do love how different a knitted piece can look once it's photographed.

This little romper has a delicate lace pattern that gives it such a pretty, timeless feel, while keeping the overall design simple.

I think that's what I enjoy about these little pieces — the details don't need to be loud to be noticed. Sometimes it's the smallest things that make a photograph feel special. 🌿

And then there's the best bit… seeing one of these tiny outfits being worn by an actual little person. 🤍

I'm quietly working towards a little milestone…

I won't give too much away just yet… 😉

If you've been enjoying Meadow & Willow, I'd be so grateful if you'd share the page with someone who you think might love newborn knits, handmade treasures and a little bit of cosy inspiration. 🤍

A little hat for little heads 🧶🍂

There's something I've always loved about a freshly knitted hat.

It's such a simple thing, but somehow a new hat can feel rather special — especially when it's been made just for you. 🤍

For every little person who comes through my door, I make them a knitted hat.
Nothing fancy. Just a simple, cosy hat made especially for them.

The pattern is always the same simple stockinette style, but somehow each one feels completely different once it's knitted in a new colour and given to a new little person.

And I think that's one of the lovely things about handmade things.
They don't have to be complicated to be special.

Sometimes it's just a ball of wool, a pair of needles, and a little thought about the person you're making it for. 🤍

I've made quite a few of these little hats over the years, and I thought it was about time they had their own little place here on Meadow & Willow. 🌿

A little white set from earlier this year 🤍

This little set was knitted especially as a gift for a very special new arrival — a delicate lace romper, matching bonnet and tiny booties, all in soft white. 🧶
I really loved making this one. There's something about knitting little baby pieces in white that feels so timeless, and I especially loved the delicate lace detail running through the romper.

A few quiet evenings with my needles, watching the little pieces take shape, and eventually there was a whole tiny outfit ready to be gifted. 🤍

It's always lovely when something you've made by hand gets to become part of someone's new beginnings.

Just a little glimpse of one of the pieces I've made this year. 🌿

Seeing a little knit come to life… 🤍

One of the loveliest parts of making these little pieces is eventually seeing them worn just as I imagined them.

This delicate lace romper was knitted especially with newborn photography in mind, and I think it looks rather lovely on this little one. 🧶🌿

There’s something quite special about seeing all those hours of knitting become part of a photograph that will be treasured.

How did you spend your evening? 🤍

This is how I spent mine…

At athletics with my daughter, who was busy running around the track doing her thing, while young sir sat beside me in the car, happily cheering her on. 🥰

And while they were both enjoying athletics, I had my knitting tucked beside me and managed to add a few more rows. 🧶🌿

I think this is one of my favourite things about knitting — it comes with me.

Into the waiting.

Into the quiet moments.

Into those little pockets of time between everything else.

Life with children is wonderfully busy, and sometimes you just have to make the most of those little moments.

So while she was running, he was cheering, and I was quietly knitting. 🤍
Just an ordinary family evening, with a little bit of making tucked into it.

How did you spend your evening? 🌿

Soft neutrals & traditional stitches 🤍

I don't think I'll ever tire of these beautiful, gentle shades.

These little bloomers were made especially for Jenna Ogg Photography, and I love knowing they'll have a little part to play in some very special newborn photographs. 🌿

I've had lots of lovely encouragement from Jenna and from those close to me to share my knitting and see where this little adventure might lead.

I think that's one of the lovely things about making something by hand — you start with an idea, choose your yarn and pattern, and somewhere along the way it becomes something completely real.

These little bloomers are now finished and waiting for their little moment in front of the camera. 🤍
