The BAKKA van, my mobile shop in Lerwick, is receiving many compliments, as much for the concept - go where the people are, don't wait for them to come to you - as for the quality of the fitting out. It's so encouraging! and I thank everyone wholeheartedly for their support.

The van is open in Lerwick several days a week, so if you see the flags out, please do stop and say hello, I'd love to meet you.

I thought you'd like to see some of Bakka's Shetland black lambs.

BAKKA is not attending either Top Drawer or Scotland's Trade Fair this year. The new dates of both events do not work with the timing of lambing here in Shetland. Any prospective retailer is invited to contact Mary directly by email, mary@bakkaknitwear.com. Thank you for your understanding.

Wishing all our customers, past, present and future, a very Merry New Year!

May all your dreams come true.
