Hello!
My name's Emily and I started Chap and Darling in 2016 as a vehicle to raise money for the MS Society when I ran the London Marathon in 2017 - and to make me follow through with the crafty ideas that grab me.
With a market stall at Greenwich Market and later in Deptford too, I started with candles, moved on to canvas and leather bags and aprons and have now we have the Knit Shop! Until recently I made everything from home, but the kits on the stall are all sourced from other small businesses thus far.
I've always loved crafting. I learned to knit, crochet and make clothes with my grandmas when I was young and I hope the Knit Shop and some crafty evenings can introduce, rekindle or fuel the passions of others and build a fabulous crafty community. With a focus on simple, quick kits, I'll bring you things that you can actually finish, to get that sense of accomplishment and a result that builds excitement for the next project!
If you’d like to keep up with the progress and see what’s coming, the Instagram is the best way – see details below.
Have a beautiful day,
Emily
