    WIP Wednesday – Festoon Socks

    The luxury of time has made me revisit some old WIPs (work in progress), that have sadly been left forgotten.

    What to Knit? Lace Edition!

    I have to say that I rarely knit with lace. Maybe I have this idea that a lace project would turn into an insurmountable task. But we have some lovely lace weight yarns at Knit With Attitude, ones that I have had my eye on for quite some time. Now that some of us might…

But crafters should not fear, this is our time to reacquaint ourselves with projects we may have discarded, or special skeins of yarn that maybe lingering unloved.

    Yarn Pairings for Pompom Issue 32

    Spring! The days begin to lengthen, the sun shines just that little bit stronger and nature reminds us it’s still there and bursts into life. The days are still cool, but there is a hint of warmth in the air. So much so we may shun our winter overcoats and choose a favourite hand knit…
