It Takes Two
Do you also get an idea of what you want to knit and once that idea is implanted you cannot shake it? Even if you have a queue of projects a mile long, with yarn to knit them. Well this has happened to me this week and I am having to be very disciplined in…

Designer Focus – Florence Spurling
I’m in love with the intricate colourwork detail Florence Spurling brings to her projects. I have admired her Scout Shawl design for many years. Those repeating motifs that seem to tread the line between the traditionally familiar and the contemporary graphic. So when we noticed the Anouka Tank and the Adelia Tee we had to jump right…

What George Knits – Fast Forward Scarf
If you have been keeping an eye on the blog then you might have noticed the little scarf series I have been working on. It started with the idea of seeing what little projects are out there for just one skein of yarn. I have been working my way through the Hey Mama Wolf Yarns…

Come ply with me…
With this post I’m looking at plying and a few different characteristics it gives to yarns. In its simplest forms ply means the number of strands of yarn twisted together and ply can be used to describe the thickness of yarn. For example a 4-ply being thicker than a 2-ply as it has more strands…

Tessellated by Andrea Mowry – Colour Inspiration
We have revamped the ever popular Tessellated Kits so I’m having a rummage through the shelves and putting together some colour combinations. The Tessellated pattern comes in either a vest or a pullover and both incorporate this beautifully simple slip stitch colourwork design. The vest is a simple round necked tank top knit from the…

Home Grown
There are some beautiful yarns at Knit With Attitude from all around the world but with this post my aim is to look at those yarns that are a bit closer to home. Focusing on the yarns that are made up of British grown fibres and having a closer look at the sheep behind those…

What George Knits – Kaarina Shawl
Continuing on with my little scarf series knit in the relaunched Hey Mama Wolf yarn I have knit up another one. This time in Ylva. I have to say I am obsessing about one skein projects at the moment and especially little scarfs, they are so cute. They are great to have in the shop…

Recommended Yarn Third Edition – Part Two
I’ve been a bit slow to follow up on part two of the Third Edition of Recommended Yarn. Better late than never. If you haven’t seen the recommended yarn posts before the theme is to look at designs that have been written exactly for the yarns that we stock. We are often asked to substitute…

I just couldn’t resist some Vivacious colour combos…
Like the title of this blog post says I just couldn’t resist some Vivacious colour combinations. Since we had a big restock of Fyberspates Vivacious and the new Vivacious Botanical I have kept taking them off the wall and laying them next to each other in all sorts of combinations. Every day I come in…

What George Knits – Bassenfell Scarf
The full range of the relaunched Hey Mama Wolf yarn has been calling me from the shelves so I’ve started a little scarf side quest. I have got it into my head that I want to knit one skein scarfs in all the Hey Mama Wolf yarns. For one they make a great shop sample…
