But what does it look like…?
One of the best parts of my job is to receive deliveries, and I’m sure this goes for everyone working in a yarn shop. There is this very particular excitement when opening the boxes, being the first one to open the bags and pull out the lovely woolliness neatly winded up in fresh skeins or…

Spring colours from WAK
I’ve just had a delivery from the wonderful We Are Knitters, and they are introducing new spring colours! All of them are of course available in the web shop, but as a taster I thought I should show you a few of them, so here you go: red, navy blue and honey.

2013
Happy New Year everyone!!! I really hope you all had a wonderful celebration and that Christmas brought you time to exhale, letting go of all the duties and chores of every day life. I for one did. Everyone that run or work in a shop knows that December is absolutely exhausting, it is a rush…

Once more, we’re having a give away!
I’m feeling rather festive, and have decided to run a give away on the blog. And this time the prize is rather amazing, I am giving away a goody bag filled with lovely woolliness worth nothing less than £50, and that is a lot of wool people! So to get your name in ‘the hat’…

Counter Yarn Bomb
A while ago, or to be honest it must have been around last Christmas, I kept posting pictures like this on my facebook wall, boldly stating that no-one would be able to guess what we were planning to use these squares for. I didn’t think it would take me months and months to get to…

DIY Love – Pinterest Round Up
We’re going to a viewing today, my husband and I, although I wont get my hopes up too high it seems perfect, three bedrooms and a garden. We’ve been looking for more than a year now, but as the rent in London is reaching it’s all time high, it seems like it is impossible to…

It’s give away time
Occasionally I keep give aways, and right now there is one happening over at Knit with attitude’s facebook page. So if you’d like to get your hands on a goody bag of knitting and/or crochet books, head over and have a look, but be quick the give away ends this Saturday.

He just wont stand still
Little One’s Pickles’ Easy-Peasy-Sweater is done. The pattern pay justice to it’s name, this is a very simple and straight forward project. I did follow the pattern sizes 3-4 years, and my gauge was spot on, but I didn’t measure the boy himself and although he turns five next week the sweater still turned out…
