Soap and Glory – Scrubbing Up for Christmas with Our Jumpers

Looks like everyone’s gearing up for Christmas and it seems looking the part has never been so important. But when you think of a traditional Christmas the colours that spring to mind may just be red, green and white. But I know what you’re thinking:

Where’s the pink?

Well those guys at Soap and glory are looking to dress Christmas up all in pink, for the most part. Wait! Are they trying to pull the wool over our eyes. No. That would be our job.

In case you didn’t know Soap and Glory are at home in Boots stores around the country and offering a massive selection of Cosmetics. Alongside one of our tasty jumpers their unique range of care products would make great gift this Christmas.

In kicking off their celebrations they asked us to create a jumper in super quick time for their latest promotion; a jumper with a distinct Christmassy feel. Check out the pic of the Jumper. Here it is in a striking lipstick pink and a sparkly silver lurex running through the seasonal message. Thanks Soap and Glory and Gwen their lovely PR lady who was over the moon with the service and couldn’t wait to see the jumper.

Check out, dear readers our Jumper in action. Looking good I’d say.

If you’d like to check out our range of jumpers available or have an idea for your own personal jumper for yourself, a loved one or for your latest project, just like Soap and Glory did, then click on over to our website.

And until then here’s to a gentle rumble forward towards a very Merry Christmas to you all.

Wedding Jumpers are Becoming Hot this Christmas.

Is it me or is the weather taking a turn for something other than the tropical. Now I know we are in the woolly jumper business but I wouldn’t wish the lovely summer away for anyone. Turns out though that a great bunch of you have been making the most of the inclement weather in the past and scooping up our jumpers and including them in your wedding celebrations.

Remember when the best thing about the best day of your life was the end of the speeches or the breath taking first steps of a bride on the dance floor? Well now we can forget all about that.

Our beloved jumper wearers have shown us the light and possibly the future of all weddings. Picture this: the bride and groom floating down the aisle adorned in a couple of bexknitwear originals. Okay perhaps that is a little mind stretch too far. Or maybe it’s not too far off into the distant future.

Check out what Louise Chu ordered and presented to the happy couple on their wedding day, opened in front of all their guests. Louise got the idea when she saw our original penguin design on one of our jumpers featured on our website http://www.bexknitwear.com. Requesting the Mr and Mrs motif was just her way of making the jumpers more personal and we were happy to oblige. This proved to be a great gift to give the lovely couple and as Louise said, they loved them.

 

Exchanging gifts between the bride and groom is also a good idea and with a little more personalization you can have something like Mr and Mrs Caton had. They had us decorate their seasonal jumpers with their names as well as the date they were married. Congratulations you two.

And finally, its congratulations to Mr and Mrs P on their very special day and their new jumpers. Shannee had an idea for her mother’s wedding gift and it was to give the happy couple two personalized jumpers for their honeymoon in New York, just in case they and everyone they saw needed reminding that they were married. I don’t think they minded. Looks like they were more than happy with their new jumpers. And from the looks of that last picture I think they needed them.

Job Done.

If you are looking for ideas for unexpected gifts and there’s a wedding coming up, perhaps matching jumpers for the groom and best man or parents of the happy couple then get in touch and we’ll do our part help create a special day they will never forget.

Hardcore Producer and DJ Carl Cox Just Got Cooler

Thanks to his sister Pam getting in touch with us for a bunch of jumpers to celebrate a friend’s 50^th (five perfect tens) birthday we could get to work knitting and kitting them out with these.

 Specifically, we took Carl’s logo and incorporated it neatly into the jumper. Just look how happy he is…I think that’s a smile breaking there…Maybe he is figuring out if he can get away with wearing it during 2017’s festival packed year, something that we hope will continue to take him and his new jumper around the world.

Nice one Carl.

The rest of the jumpers? Have a look at these? Now there is a Coxy smile as Pam proudly shows off her new jumper. She recently got in touch asking to be included in our website and Instagram pages, adding that she, “loves her jumper…”.

 “Oh, my God. I collected the jumper and I absolutely love it and he will too…thank you so much. This one he had received as a Christmas present…Merry Christmas to you and thank you so much, Carl absolutely loved his jumper, he cannot believe you got it spot on so thank you!”

 Well we are glad to help. Your mentions and kind words go a long way. We hope you continue to enjoy all our jumpers.

And that goes for all of you.

Much Love,

Delivering a Timely Message for the ITV Tonight Show

When the pressures on we are right there in the woolly mix, knee deep and tangled, you might say (Sounds like the title of my autobiography waiting to be written…’Knee Deep and Tangled’). Christmas does bring its own pressures but we love being a part of others celebrations even though this next one was an unusual one but certainly worthwhile and deserving of our dedicated attention.

 

We’ve been recently working closely with Lauren Conner from the ITV Tonight show and helping them visualise their TV segment about fraud (recently aired on ITV on the 1^st of December).

We of course jumped at the chance to help out and without any further ado were keen to get down to the specifics.

The folks at the Tonight program wanted four children’s jumpers each sporting their own statistic. Colours and design were very important to them as you can see from the pictures. Given the backdrop and the adorable little ones sporting our creations they wanted something that stood out, real eyecatchers, whilst maintaining the integrity of the reporting.

 It was our pleasure then, as always to realise their vision and within a week we were ready to hand deliver their custom made jumpers to Media City in Manchester.

 

Thanks to all then especially Lauren for their enthusiasm for our jumpers. It’s always amazing to us to experience the fun created by these little Woolley wonders, no more so than at this time of year.

Merry Christmas to you all.

So Here it is Merry ChristmasSaurus

Hey Everyone. Remember a few weeks ago we told you the exciting news that, to accompany Tom “McFly Guy” Fletcher’s release of his new children’s book, The Christmasaurus, that the very special elf’s in charge were going to give one lucky person the chance to get their hands on The Christmasaurus jumper knitted by yours truly.
For those who missed it check out our recent blog which featured Tom sporting the jumper as well as the whole lotta love he was getting for his new jumper when he took it onto Facebook and live streamed himself wearing it.
The special elf’s in question are those at WHSmith and all they ask of you is that you follow them on Instagram or Twitter and share their post…It’s so easy. I’ve put the links in this post to make it even easier.
What a way to kick off your Christmas.
Make sure you have a warm snuggly one.

Looks Like Oak Furniture Land are Gearing Up for Christmas.

And we are very proud that they came to bexknitwear.com with their very specific requirements for the star of their latest festive television advert. Of course, I’m talking about our bespoke jumper. Have a look at the beautiful.

Turns out the specifics of the design were very critical as well as the delivery of this lovely knitted jumper. It meant that we could work closely with Lucy Hallard, wardrobe stylist on behalf of Oak Furniture land in delivering the jumper that suited them and their latest campaign.

From colours to the all-important logo to a superfast delivery it was very gratifying when a very appreciative team called it…’Amazing’ Thanks Lucy for your support and thinking of us.

It certainly was a great experience working closely with our clients and we are very proud of the service we can offer all our customers who are looking for something unique and special, tailor made to suit you.

So now the advert is currently running on TV why not let us know if you spot the jumper in action and don’t forget to get in touch with us with your ideas for this coming festive season…and beyond.

Pretty Fly for a McFly Guy

Some people just can’t wait for Christmas. I think it’s the thought of giving gifts and of course receiving said gifts throughout the year and then suddenly the spirit of giving seems to gain momentum, usually about November time.

But for some like our latest fan, Tom Fletcher from the Pop band McFly the Christmas spirit overcame him over 12 months ago when he started to pen his first children’s novel, The Christmasaurus. It’s already on sale from every available word boutique in the real and digital world.

We were very excited then when it came to launching his book that he and Andrea Bowie of Penguin Books approached bexknitwear.com to produce a woolly jumper for the book signings of his new book.

What a great way to celebrate such an important event in anyone’s live. At bexknitwear.com we have seen this right from the beginning. Our jumper lovers have enjoyed our creations for their cosiness and snugness while having a unique creation that has literally become personal and dear to them because of the unique way they become part of the significant events in their lives…and all this from one of our jumpers.

If you want to see just how excited Tom was wearing his Jumper click over to his Facebook page and see the jumper in action. Fans will also be treated to a reading of a snippet from The Christmasaurus. Sorry though fans of knitting, Christmas and McFly……………crumpets not included with the book or with one of our jumpers I’m afraid. I’ll have scoffed em’ before my needles are out of the holster.

 

Talking of giving stuff away…

Penguin just may be running a competition related to the books release by giving away a second jumper just like Tom’s…I know this because I’m busy knitting it all together right now.

So watch this space for further developments and if you’re a fan of great seasonal children’s fiction then it looks like The Christmasaurus could be the perfect stocking filler……so long as we knitted it of course…the stocking, not the book.

Love

We have transformed our website, utilising the latest social media tools so that you can now, from wherever you are around the world on whatever device you choose, tether yourself to our brand new site, making sure you are at the forefront of everything new under our little sun.

Do you think we are excited about our new Website update?

You bet we are. The prospect of reaching out further across the planet is almost too much for us to bare. In some cases, it has led to talks of giving stuff away in the form of discounts to everyone who visits our site…Now that is something worth sharing. But before I tell you about that let me tell you about some of the ways you can connect to us and benefit from your bexknitwear.com experience.

 

As well as all our pictures receiving some TLC to make them crisper and clearer, adding to overall look and feel of the site, we have now hooked up with:

Instagram

Now you can take hold of our photos and share them to anyone you like. If knitting is what you do, then you are bound to get feedback and ideas from your own circles and we want to share and grow our family of knitters, to inspire and be inspired. We can only do that with you.

Pinterest is another cool way we can inspire new ideas for designs and gift ideas. Swapping pictures has never been as fun or as effective for gauging the perfect response for a gift or as a means of cultivating feedback…and all that at the click of a button.

Talking of feedback. Our site now has a rolling display on the left of the screen of some of the feedback we have enjoyed and because of the slick way it has been presented we can deliver this to our visitors so that your decision to connect with us will be guaranteed, the best one you will make.

Facebook and Twitter remain the giants of ‘joining hands’ across the planet and has served us well and will continue to do so in plotting our ‘lives in wool’. Indeed, the friends and support we have garnished from such tools has shown us the possibilities for wrapping the world in ‘digital’ wool. Now there’s an image.

If you find you can’t devote too much time at our website, then why not sign up to our newsletter. If you would like to receive all our exciting news and developments via your email, then maybe we can deliver something special in there that is more relevant to you and your busy lifestyle.

 

One of the things we are very proud of is the celebrity endorsements that we get…so keep an eye out for the Gallery at the bottom of the website which will be updated with some famous folks who have had the privilege of adorning some of our bespoke creations.

We are very excited for the future and our new Website…but more importantly, being connected to you.

Love always.

This was Better Than Getting The Golden Ticket

Keeping your cool in the face of the chocolate onslaught this season might proof a little tricky for some folks, including us here at bexknitwear.com (mainly me).

Already as I cast a merry seasonal glance over the bexknitwear kingdom, there is so much chocolate about that I’m sure I will start dreaming about the stuff. One day I know I’m going to wake up to the sound of my little rustling knitting elves hurriedly adding the finishing touches to another dream I had once, that of an edible chocolate jumper. Mmmmm……where was I?

So dear readers you can imagine how thrilled I was to get the call from Cadburys to design them two very special jumpers fit for the Christmas season. Okay they aren’t edible but this is how they would look if I had my way.

So many thanks to Georgina from Cadbury’s and the opportunity to spend hours and hours and hours researching chocolate. I hope you all enjoy your new Christmas Jumpers….(sorry you can’t eat them…Yet).
