We hope all our friends and customers are still staying alert to stay safe during these unprecedented times.

By using our online store you will be avoiding the crowded shops and keeping yourself 2m away from other shoppers. You can shop for new items here or donated items in our rosieinstitches2010 eBay charity store, and vintage knitting patterns on our facebook page. Please take a look at our extensive selection of jumpers and cardigans ideal to keep babies and children up to 4 years old toasty and warm through the autumn and winter.

Please also refer to our facebook page which is updated daily.

In 2020, with your help, we raised £912 from sales in our Ebay charity store Rosieinstitches2010, our facebook page, website and sales of books on Amazon. Rosie in Stitches total income for 2020 was £3,956
