A Pet Bow Tie label from unexpected knitwear label, Wool & Water. Handmade, Limited Edition & Pet Ap

After a very successful couple of years selling knitted Pet Bow Ties under my unexpected knitwear label, Wool & Water, I decided it was time to create a dedicated Pet Accessory label. Welcome to Wool & Whiskers, same awesome Pet Bow Ties, same designer/maker just a different name.

I just spent a couple of days in Paris with a friend, cramming in as many fashion exhibitions as we could. Amidst all the jaw dropping frocks we also met up with one of my most gorgeous customers, and his lovely owner for a catch up.
🐾
It was lovely to hear their news and have a cuddle. He is as friendly as he is handsome. How stunning does the new Sparkly Love Bow Tie look on him!?

Been so nice to get some festive orders in over the last week or so. Massively appreciated too considering I have not been promoting my designs or offerings while undergoing treatment.
🐾🌲❄️
It has been lovely to be back in my studio, knitting up some smile sparkers and imagining the delight they will create.

Well it has been a year...in February this year I was diagnosed with breast cancer having found a lump myself during a self exam...luckily I moved quickly and today, 9 months, 2 surgeries and 16 rounds of chemo later, I am finished with treatment and told I have a low chance of recurrence.
🩷
Swipe for the full story and please pass on to all who have breasts, to all who love those with breasts, how important self exams are, how big a difference swiftly advocating for your health can make.

My beautiful, brilliant, loving Cooper Jan 2010 - 2 Nov 2024
🐾
Many of you know already that I had to say goodbye to my best friend nearly 2 weeks ago already. Cooper developed breathing problems quite suddenly on the Monday night, although the amazing team at the Dieren Ziekenhuis here in Amsterdam stabilised him, they also discovered he had severe and progressive heart disease. On top of that he had a blood clot in his heart at high risk of causing him an embolism, a painful and traumatic death. And so I was advised to choose euthanasia and ensure he had a peaceful exit from this life.
🐾
I had nearly 5 days with him at home before the vet was booked to come, where despite feeling clearly old and tired he was his purring, trilling, affectionate (and food enthusiastic) self. I got to tell him his story, how he charmed us immediately when we met him at the Canning Town branch, to thank him for being the most incredible best friend, to tell him how much we love him and how deeply we will forever miss him.
🐾
On Saturday the 2 November, our lovely vet came to our house and after greeting her, Cooper settled on my lap and gently drifted away, head in mine and my husband's hands as we whispered our love to him.
🐾
These 2 weeks have felt so hard without him, I miss him so much and am still talking to him in his usual spots. To describe how awesome he was would take too many posts, but he was curious, so loving, intuitive, loyal, gentle and beautiful.
🐾
I know I was so lucky to have him in my life, to feel so loved, so chosen by him and I am truly grateful I got to ensure he avoided any unnecessary fear or pain as he left our world. Cooper you were an earth angel, a legend and I will always miss you so very much.
🐾
Thank you for bringing Cooper into our lives, he was a true and absolute gift.

The official collective noun for a group of cats - a clowder! What do you think, does it suit the many cat vibe?
🐾
Have you ever seen a clowder of cats and how many do you think qualifies as a clowder?
