    Hang Out With Me?

    I’ve just sat down to type this out. I am, as you know, a woman of many words and I’ve been brewing on this for so long, still I find I am struggling to form my sentences and I am worried about being able to word myself in the best way for this, admittedly, quite…

    Virtual Knit Night tomorrow October 10th

    Right, how do I even put this … guys I’ve made a proper blooper. I’ve got my days mixed up and don’t have any other excuse than my knitting. It is true, these days I am so obsessed with my project that I’ve taken my finger completely off the button and lost track of all…

    Virtual Knit Night September 11th 2025

    Summer is definitely passing, and although we’re blessed with unusual nice temperatures here in London these days, there is that specific nip in the air – that for yarnies can mean only one thing – it is woolly season! My summer has been wonderful, filled with activities and rest, but I have to admit my…

    Virtual Knit Night June 12th 2025

    I am writing this sat in a huge river of ripped up stitches. Trying to decide on what to work on tonight, I went through my projects and even though I take quite a long time to actually fall out of love with projects and can potentially let them rest for years before I decide…

    Virtual Knit Night May 8th

    In the last few newsletters we’ve discussed the moment when a WIP (work in process project) turns into a UFO (unfinished object project), and further to this, the dismissal of or rekindling of past loves. Speaking about myself, I’ve just picked up a project left untouched for more than 2 years, and this has definitely…

    Virtual Knit Night April 10th – cancelled

    Dear Friends. Sometimes life brings lemons – and I’m having a particularly lemon heavy day – just a few too many to make lemonade I’m afraid. I adore our virtuals, and I love getting caught up on what you’re all working on, however this time I have to rein in my excitement and ask you…

    Virtual Knit Night January 9th

    The letters on my hand – PUST – is the Norwegian word for breathe, breath, breeze and pause. After a personal crisis last year I realised I’d completely forgotten how to, and so I had this done to remind me, daily. This year, however, also brought a non-voluntarily pause as I woke up on New…

    Virtual Knit Night December 12th

    Oh yes, I can definitely feel the yuletide spirit sieving in – everywhere! The shop is filled with Christmas shoppers, our Christmas tunes are playing, and we do have some sneaky treats to nibble on in our staff kitchen. It is exhausting and incredibly fun at the same time, and after closing, the evenings promise…

    Virtual Knit Night November 14th

    I am enjoying my current project so much I just skipped the whole getting stuck on Sleeve Island thing, just a few more rounds of ribbing and both sleeves are completed, with only the neckline left to do. I’m a little bit gutted as I won’t be able to show off my beautiful progress at…

    Beautiful Knitters – Beautiful Mistakes

    After finishing the body of one of the sweaters I’ve been bragging about lately, appeared a ‘thing’ that completely took me by surprise, I did not see it coming at all. It was a classic case of thinking I knew what the pattern wanted me to do, rather than actually reading the pattern, and I’ve…
