We all know those books that touch us on a deeper level, making a lasting impact on how we see the world. Cultivate: Knitting the Beauty of Nature is just that.

Drumroll Please!
After years and years building a reputation as proper connoisseurs of project bags, we’ve seen, tested and evaluated them all, and as many of you know – we’ve been the first one to bring to market several of those now thought of as ‘can’t live without it’ brands. It is about high time and with…

What a Difference a Thread Makes
A couple of weeks ago, we introduced the lovely new design, the Helica Pullover, by Teti’s Knit Garden. Teti is known for her nature inspired, almost etheric looking, romantic and timeless style. Teti chose the name for this design, Helica, from Latin, meaning “winding”, because of the winding ivy branch of the colourwork motifs on…

Virtual Knit Night July 11th
You know, when you are planning for a new project in anticipation, that feeling. Who would have thought that a couple of needles and a string of thread can give so much joy – without actually producing anything, because I am swatching… and what I have to show for it is a pile of swatches.…

What Maya and George Knits – Throwback Tops
We are exposed to inspiration and the most wonderful creations on a daily basis here at the KWA HQ, and that means that occasionally the urge to make will strike simultaneously – and hit both George and I at the same time. We will then embark on the same project, a friendly battle of the…

Virtual Knit Night June 13th
Oh I’m having one of those days where there doesn’t seem to be enough hours in a day – a proper jig saw puzzle of activities, covering business life as much as every day family obligations. I’ll be running around covering all my bases, hopefully landing on my sofa because tonight I plan to tune…

Design Inspiration for Vivacious Botanicals
You might think that one becomes a bit blasé by working here at Knit with attitude, I mean there is literally beauty everywhere you look, and one could assume that this simply has to dampen the enthusiasm a bit… But no, nah, not at all and absolutely by no means – this does not happen!…

Oh I’ve had a few weeks with nothing but admin, spread sheets, counts, numbers and filing – I swear if it weren’t for the few minutes of knitting that I’ve snuck in every evening – I would haver lost my grip on things! And that is just one of the wonderful aspects of this dear…

What Maya Knits – Tessellated Vest
As most of you know by now, my knitting time is so precious to me – firstly as it is very limited, secondly because with time I’ve become slow. With this I noticed a change in my focus, where the end result used to be the main goal, it is now all about the process,…

It is a bloody miracle, isn’t it? But yes, I do have a FO – a Finished Object – a project completed. Currently blocking on my dining table, I am well pleased with how my Tessellated Vest came out using the Black Elephant Wensleydale. Don’t you just love it when an experiment actually work!!! I…
