Virtual Knit Night September 3rd
There was this shift in the weather this week, in just a few days we went from proper hot to quite chilly. I don’t feel like this was a smooth transition, almost like we just missed ‘late summer’ and went straight into fall. I do miss these longer chillier evenings though, they usually provide heaps…

Yarn Pairings – Pom Pom Issue 34
The theme of Pom Pom issue 34 is ‘Home’ and is guest edited by Ocean Rose, artist and natural dyer: @ocean_bythesea on Instagram. During these unusual times the home has taken on many different guises, a work place, a sanctuary and one we may have found ourselves in for longer periods than we ever have.…

Virtual Knit Night August 27th
Community has always been at the very chore of what we do here at Knit with attitude. When planning for and developing our upcoming anniversary book we set our goals, one of them being to bring Knit with attitude into people’s homes, to gift a piece of us and our surroundings, no matter where the…

Time for a New Project – Pianta Hat by Lavanya Patricella
It’s starting to feel a little Autumnal here in London. As I gaze out of the window grey clouds hang overhead and spots of rain appear now and again. The height of summer with its 30°C+ heat is slowly fading away. This is a glorious time to be a knitter as we can start to…

What yarns are suitable for Babies?

Virtual Knit Night August 13th
After our one week break, due to me going on holiday, we are ready to gather again, needles and laughter included! I don’t know about you guys, but the heat the last week made all my holiday knitting plans fly out of the window. I’ve started a new project which involves a woolly singles yarn,…

I’ve finished the body of my Summer KAL Milkweed determined to be able to wear it when I’m going on holiday next week! Tonight I’m getting onto those sleeves, and hope to see you and your knitting at our Virtual Knit Night. I did some quick counting and what do you know – this is…

Virtual Knit Night July 23rd
We launched our Summer KAL – KWA does Milkweed last week, I’m barely able to put my knitting down. The feel of the two threads twisting together around my fingers, the linen and the silk, the lush smooth and crisp fabric it makes, let me tell you, this project is such a pleasurable tactile experience…

A Summer KAL – KWA does Milkweed
If you’ve followed my social media lately you know I’ve been talking about the wonders of thinner weight yarns. Now, let me be clear on one thing, I am not a lace knitter, I just don’t have the patience in me to complete those amazingly beautiful but oh so stunning projects knitted with very fine…

New Yarn – Countess Ablaze Rebel Batch Resist & Hope
The last time I saw Countess Ablaze was back in February at the Unravel Festival. We were so lucky to be stand neighbours, and in between managing our stands we hung out in the back chatting, laughing, ranting, putting the world straight (as one do). “I always plan to be sensible when I see you,…
