Secrets of a Professional Knitwear Designer and Maker October 19, 2018 13:23 1 Comment
Most of us at LCC know how to knit – but not like Valentina! You might know Valentina as the utterly lovely regular host of our Craft Life events. But did you know that she is also a professional knitwear designer, specialising in machine knits?
We’ve decided to shine a bit of a spotlight on her and her fascinating skills, because next week you can see her in action for yourself. She’ll be in her own gorgeous pop-up shop, selling her designs and demonstrating how a linking machine works.
A linking machine is the magic gadget that sews garment pieces together. For those of who knit by hand, it sounds like a dreamy piece of kit! I love a good piece of craft gadgetry, so I’ll be coming along to watch her demonstration, and also to snap up some bargains.
Valentina makes stunning colourful and unique knit pieces, using luxury yarns like cashmere. And…it turns out (and this is direct from the fashion insiders) that next year wholesale cashmere will go up in price. So not only will you be able to buy direct from Valentina at less than retail prices, but it’s also the moment to your cashmere items before the prices go up.
Her specialism is machine knitting, and you can se a Pinterest board of all the machines she uses here:
So make a date to head down to the pop up shop at The Crossing, 18 Lillie Road, London, SW6 1TS. And Remember, when you buy from a small business, you’re supporting our creative economy in the best way you can.

Hey there, I just found your site, quick question…
My name’s Eric, I found londoncraftclub.co.uk after doing a quick search – you showed up near the top of the rankings, so whatever you’re doing for SEO, looks like it’s working well.
So here’s my question – what happens AFTER someone lands on your site? Anything?
Research tells us at least 70% of the people who find your site, after a quick once-over, they disappear… forever.
That means that all the work and effort you put into getting them to show up, goes down the tubes.
Why would you want all that good work – and the great site you’ve built – go to waste?
Because the odds are they’ll just skip over calling or even grabbing their phone, leaving you high and dry.
But here’s a thought… what if you could make it super-simple for someone to raise their hand, say, “okay, let’s talk” without requiring them to even pull their cell phone from their pocket?
You can – thanks to revolutionary new software that can literally make that first call happen NOW.
Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that sits on your site, ready and waiting to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It lets you know IMMEDIATELY – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re still there at your site.
You know, strike when the iron’s hot!

Imagine how powerful this could be – even if they don’t take you up on your offer immediately, you can stay in touch with them using text messages to make new offers, provide links to great content, and build your credibility.
Just this alone could be a game changer to make your website even more effective.
