Test Knit Open – Knitting With Attitude
It has been more than a year since George and I started working on the Knit with attitude’s 10 year anniversary book. I can’t describe the feeling when all our designers came back to us with their samples, and the joy and enthusiasm we had when announcing the upcoming book last autumn. Everything seemed to…

Virtual Knit Night July 23rd
We launched our Summer KAL – KWA does Milkweed last week, I’m barely able to put my knitting down. The feel of the two threads twisting together around my fingers, the linen and the silk, the lush smooth and crisp fabric it makes, let me tell you, this project is such a pleasurable tactile experience…

Virtual Knit Night July 16th

A Summer KAL – KWA does Milkweed
If you’ve followed my social media lately you know I’ve been talking about the wonders of thinner weight yarns. Now, let me be clear on one thing, I am not a lace knitter, I just don’t have the patience in me to complete those amazingly beautiful but oh so stunning projects knitted with very fine…

New Yarn – Countess Ablaze Rebel Batch Resist & Hope
The last time I saw Countess Ablaze was back in February at the Unravel Festival. We were so lucky to be stand neighbours, and in between managing our stands we hung out in the back chatting, laughing, ranting, putting the world straight (as one do). “I always plan to be sensible when I see you,…

Virtual Knit Night July 9th
This week I learned to drink gin, and so so so paying for it afterwards, I’m not sure whether or not to take my new knowledge on to tonight’s knit night. BUT I do know one thing for sure, and that is that I will show off my newly finished shawl, ends woven in, newly…

What Maya Knits – KORO KORO Shawl
As the pandemic spread and London went into lock-down, I went into melting mode. Turning to my knitting for comfort, none of my ongoing projects gave the nurture or the calm I was looking for. Maybe this is because they were newly started summer projects, in thinner yarns and airy stitches, neither carried the promise…

Virtual Knit Night June 25th
It is Thursday, and we will be hanging out virtually as one do these days. The heat has most definitely struck London climbing above 30 °C yesterday, I’m not sure what would be more suitable for tonight, ice cream or something bubbly and chilled in my glass. What ever you fancy yourself, I am very…
