    New Yarn – Pickles Big Fuzz

    Big Fuzz a chunky mohair – yes you read that right – A. CHUNKY. MOHAIR. A huge favourite amongst ‘fibre folks’, Mohair is known for being warm and cosy, but unlike sheep fibre added warmth does not mean added bulk. Mohair is an incredibly light weight fibre, wrapped up in it feels like you are…

    Virtual Knit Night November 14th

    I am enjoying my current project so much I just skipped the whole getting stuck on Sleeve Island thing, just a few more rounds of ribbing and both sleeves are completed, with only the neckline left to do. I’m a little bit gutted as I won’t be able to show off my beautiful progress at…

    Virtual Knit Night October 10th

    With the summer holiday, and with a last minute cancellation of our virtual in September, it really seems like ages since I met up with you all. Tonight is the night! Knitting season is definitely here, the cold nip in the air has brought on a severe case of castonitis – I’m literarily casting on…

    Drumroll Please!

    After years and years building a reputation as proper connoisseurs of project bags, we’ve seen, tested and evaluated them all, and as many of you know – we’ve been the first one to bring to market several of those now thought of as ‘can’t live without it’ brands. It is about high time and with…

    Virtual Knit Night July 11th

    You know, when you are planning for a new project in anticipation, that feeling. Who would have thought that a couple of needles and a string of thread can give so much joy – without actually producing anything, because I am swatching… and what I have to show for it is a pile of swatches.…

    Virtual Knit Night June 13th

    Oh I’m having one of those days where there doesn’t seem to be enough hours in a day – a proper jig saw puzzle of activities, covering business life as much as every day family obligations. I’ll be running around covering all my bases, hopefully landing on my sofa because tonight I plan to tune…

    Virtual Knit Night May 9th

    Oh I’ve had a few weeks with nothing but admin, spread sheets, counts, numbers and filing – I swear if it weren’t for the few minutes of knitting that I’ve snuck in every evening – I would haver lost my grip on things! And that is just one of the wonderful aspects of this dear…

    Virtual Knit Night April 11th

    It is a bloody miracle, isn’t it? But yes, I do have a FO – a Finished Object – a project completed. Currently blocking on my dining table, I am well pleased with how my Tessellated Vest came out using the Black Elephant Wensleydale. Don’t you just love it when an experiment actually work!!! I…

    Virtual Knit Night March 14th

    Oh you know that feeling right, where it’s almost like you can taste it (although putting a mouthful of fibre-fluff into your mouth is not recommended), nearly done, just a few more rounds and it is done! This is me now, I’m so close, I’m actually considering leaving George at the shop by himself so…

    New Yarn – Black Elephant Corriedale

    New yarn is hanging on the hand dyed wall of the shop and that is always an exciting moment. Not only because I get so tempted to cast on a completely new project but it looks great. It’s calling to me from across the shop as I sit here and write this, ‘knit me, knit…
