What Yarns to Dye?
With the restock of The Modern Natural Dyer by Kristine Vejar I thought it would be a good time to take a little look at some of the yarns in the shop suitable for dyeing. Of course you can dye and over-dye just about anything with varied results. Different fibres will give you different effects…

Virtual Knit Night March 11th
I’m curled up in bed under the duvet feeling a bit under the weather today, warm drinks and netflix are on the agenda for me. Needles are of course at hand so there might be a few stitches happening as well in between snoozing. But don’t worry – knit night is still on – and…

Virtual Knit Night March 4th
Finishing my first Hilja Mitt I shamelessly did my nail polish in a matching colour for stylish showing off pictures. I’m eagerly casting on the second mitt tonight – but wonder if I’ll get it done by the time my nails start flaking and I’ll have to do it all over again. How about you?…

Virtual Knit Night February 25th
Well, for once, I’m actually knitting! Any yarn shop owner will tell you that they’ve never knitted as little as after opening the shop – there just isn’t enough time!

Virtual Knit Night February 18th
This week I’ve hardly touched my needles, I’ve been preparing for the iKnit7 Hilja Mitts KAL and so I’ve done nothing but wrap up kit parcels to get them shipped out as quickly as possible. I’ve spent literarily every available second on my feet in the shop. Normally we are three people sharing this job,…

Let’s talk about: Aleks Byrd
With just a couple more sleeps until the iKnit7 Hilja Mitts KAL kicks off with our grand Cast On Party, what better occasion for me to tell you more about the Wonder Woman behind the Hilja Mitts (and my dear friend) Aleks Byrd. Now don’t go ahead and think that I shower everyone with superlatives…

Virtual Knit Night February 11th
I am a cardigan, sweater and shawl knitter. I’m definitely a big projects girl! But lately I’ve had this craving for smaller, quicker maybe, and more manageable projects. This might have to do with us experiencing the coldest winter in London for more than 10 years – and you know cold fingers and toes ……

Right now I’m hearing my youngest scrambling about in the kitchen, he is making dinner and we’re having pancakes. We’re going to have a feast! Thursday is the day for early dinners in my household, the point is to feed mum before she locks herself in to host her weekly knit nights. And so is…
