The list of craft kits was never ending from candle making, cross stitching, calligraphy to flower pressing, needle felting and of course knitting. With a love of textiles and traditional needle crafts Nicola studied Fashion and Textiles at the University of Brighton where she specialised in Knitwear design and construction (Yes, you can get a degree in Knitting!) and went onto working in New York and London as a knitwear designer before moving into Fashion Buying. After working within the industry for over a decade, starting a family and finally moving out of London to Bedfordshire she decided she was ready to try and give her own thing a go and opened Tea Cake + Make in October 2019. Within a year her pretty yet practical canvas craft project bags, needle cases and accessories were being shipped internationally via her Etsy shop. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2021 Nicola released her first sock pattern and hasn't looked back. She has developed an obsession with stranded colourwork and is keen to share it with fellow knitters. Her designs have been featured in several publications including Laine's 52 weeks of Scrap yarn, Laine magazine and Knitting Magazine. In 2025 Nicola started taking Tea Cake + Make on the road to yarn festivals and shows to share her handmade items, knitting patterns and meet her customers in person. When asked why Tea Cake + Make for her business name, Nicola explains that they are her three favourite things!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Fern Yarns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58680970346877,"sku":"YSOCKKIT26P01","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/7376\/8740\/files\/woodland-joy-sock-kit-brown-knit-with-me-4075746.jpg?v=1789925595"}],"url":"https:\/\/knitwithme.co.uk\/collections\/blue-fern-yarns-knitting-kits.oembed","provider":"Knit With Me","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
