How cute is this site? I love these modern knits for children and delicious-looking yarns, which are from the UK but have a chic, Scandinavian feel. If anything can convince me to learn more complex knitting skills, it’s this. I’m particularly fond of the ‘Bright Young Things’ collection… they deliver to Australia, too.

Thank you for the lovely post. We’ve been so overwhelmed by how many Australian customers we have already after our relatively recent launch – knitting must be a very popular activity! We are trying to have slightly more modern baby and children’s knitting patterns and also to cater for all levels of knitters, so that beginner knitters can start with the easier patterns and then work their way up to the more challenging items as they learn new techniques. Would love to hear feedback from the Australian market too – what kind of things you would like to see more of etc. Thanks again – Katarina from MillaMia
