Knit with attitude – a 10-year celebratory collection – yarn requirements and sizes

Just about a week and our anniversary collection will finally be here! Lately I’ve received so many questions about yarn requirements and sizing, and many of you have asked me if we will provide kits for the different designs. The answer to this is, yes but no. Meaning we will provide a few for some of the designs – but to be honest – there are so many fibre and colour options, I would love to see your individual styles shine through our designs – and I’d like to encourage you to pick your very own favourites.

Planning your projects, I know many of you are hoping to get the yarn sent to you with your book order, and as far as we can, we will try to accommodate for this – but then you need the relevant information first – so it is coming right up. Our listings are now live over on Ravelry so you’ll find details on each individual design there, but to make it even more easier for you I’ve gathered them all here in this blog post as well.

So, get planning, inspiration awaits …
