Virtual Knit Night June 9th
Yay! I’ve finished my jumper! Well almost, I still need to weave in the ends and block it, so my dilemma for tonight is – do I spend the evening weaving in ends or do I cast on for my next project… The thing is, I’m going on holiday next week, and every holiday warrants…

Summer Knits
Summer is here and as the temperatures are rising so is my urge to cast on something new. I’m dreaming up lightweight, cool against hot skin, quick knits that can be finished before the season has passed. Temperatures and knitting urges are sadly not the only thing rising these days, the cost of living has…

Virtual Knit Night May 12th
Sometimes time moves really slowly, but then suddenly everything moves so so fast! For me these last few weeks have been like that, so fast I’m still trying to wrap my head around and digest what happened. We had our first in store event, which was a such a joy still a reminder on how…

Virtual Knit Night April 14th
Another month since our last meet up and I have to admit, my days as a monogamous knitter are over! To be honest, I’m not sure if I’ve ever been one, but with the whole ‘get-organised-tidy-house-tidy-mind-social-media-mindfulness-coaching’-thing that happened over the lock down years I think I might have had a phase. But yes, I am…

Designer Feature – Birkebolla Strikk
We have become entranced by the mesmerising colourwork socks of Jorun (Birkebolla Strikk). If you are not a sock knitter these sure are the socks to tempt you. Heavily ornate colourwork designs that feature everything from the traditional to the modern, the geometric to the flowing and the graphic to the cutesy. Each design can…

What George Knits – Sea Mist Shawl
My design the Sea Mist Shawl was published as part of Laine Issue 11 in Summer 2021. Now it is available as a single pattern so I thought it would be fun to knit up a new version in some of the yarns we have here at Knit With Attitude. I have had it in…
