Repost: Susan Crawford – Looking Back and Looking ahead
What is there to say about Susan Crawford? She is in no need of an introduction, as her name is well known both within knitting, vintage and the fashion scene. Vintage fashion and craft magazines from the 1930s to the 1950s has long been an obsession for her and this fascination is very clear in…

Fibre Fridays: Silk
We are writing these fibre posts in relation to our summer KAL, so silk is an obvious choice. Cool in the heat, warm in the cold, silk is a perfect summer fabric. Silk has amazing drape, which makes it perfect for loose tops and shawls. The structure of the fibre has very little elasticity, which…

It’s All About Socks!
We’re going slightly sock crazy over at Knit with attitude these days! Admittedly there has been a lot of focus on summer tops here on the blog with the Summer Top KAL happening, but really, what knitting project is more suitable for summer than socks?

Fibre Fridays: Merino
Another instalment of our Fibre Fridays! This week we are talking about merino wool. Merino wool! you may say, That’s not a summer yarn.

A Creative Journey
I’ve known Kaja for a few years now, one of the very first customers I had coming through my doors when setting up my shop and with time a dear friend, and I’ve had the pleasure of observing her approach to knitting. A process I find both fascinating and amusing. You see, where most of…

Furry Christmas Baubles
Do you have everything sorted for Christmas yet? Everything neat and dusted, parcels bought and wrapped, festivities planned? I’m not even close! I mopped the kitchen floor last night after getting the kids to bed, and that’s about it. No parcels sorted, no plans for the holiday, I’ve knitted five rows of the sweater that…

Introducing Louisa Harding
I first came across Louisa Harding years ago, when as a new mum I bought a pattern collection named ‘The Magical World According to Miss Millie’, and found myself completely enhanced by the fairytale world of Louisa’s children clothes. Sourcing new yarns to introduce to Knit with attitude’s selection I was made aware of her…
