| Waitrose mug with knitting design |
The design of the Waitrose packaging for their own-brand Christmas was also based on knitting. A cable pattern with ribbon threaded through was printed onto the box of Camembert we bought - ready prepared to bake. (Sounds delicious - I hope it is.)
And there was a Fair Isle design with Christmas trees,which appeared on several of the things we bought, and around the store as well. Today being the Winter Solstice, I had a mince pie with my coffee (in my new mug) - it was very nice.
It looks like knitting is really making a comeback. I love the Waitrose designs. The mug looks like something you would find in the Belleek range.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that Waitrose have used traditional knitting patterns to signify Christmas - maybe it's connected with the popularity of Christmas jumpers this year. Don't know, but I love the mugs. The modelling is so detailed that you can see every stitch, Really nice to use - they are now my favourites. .
DeleteThese mugs are lovely, how much did you pay for yours? They were priced at £5 for the mug and £6 for the breakfast bowl in Monmouth Waitrose, but when I came to pay, they came up as £2.50 for the mugs and £3 for the bowls :)
ReplyDeleteI discovered tonight via being 'friended' on Ravelry that my son-in law's sister in law (allowing for people being partners) has been involved in the knitting for the Waitrose Xmas campaign. Small world!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this Waitrose Knitting Mug. Where can I purchase the mug? I would like to have a couple.
ReplyDeleteWaitrose had these on sale 2 years ago, and I haven't seen them since. But maybe you could find something similar online if you search for 'knitting mug'?
