Virtual Knit Night December 17th

Last knit night we saluted one of those projects, one of the greatest hurdles, to be…

Virtual Knit Night December 10th
When we started our regular virtuals mid-March a consistent theme was what to knit next, facing world wide lockdowns and collective fear, not exactly knowing what this was all about, as crafters at least the extra time at home gave promises of activity, and we all had ambitious ideas about completing one project after the…

Virtual Knit Night December 3rd
It is a grey heavy day and absolutely freezing in ol’ London Town today, and I can’t come up with any better idea than to curl up for a cozy warm knit night tonight (yes, definitely metaphorically speaking about our wonderful atmosphere here … ). My poncho is getting close to finish and will keep…

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.

Virtual Knit Night November 5th
So what to say – what a day? I’m not quite sure if I have the words for this current situation, a new lockdown, the US election, I don’t think I’m the only one with heightened emotions today. Maybe we can find our words together – or just quietly sit together and knit? Either or,…
