    Virtual Knit Night February 8th

    Like seriously! Where did this morning disappear to? I came in with a plan, and now half a day later it doesn’t seems to have moved at all. My favourite word for this feeling is discombobulated. Discombobulate kind of sounds like you feel when you’re disoriented: bouncing around in several directions at once – which…

    What would you pick?

    Admittedly, having half of our delivery disappear into nothingness, circling the earth and some, just to get from Norway to the UK, does put a damper on an otherwise insanely exciting launch! However, as my Nan used to say, those who are waiting for something good will never wait in vain. Our wonderfully lush delivery…

    Virtual Knit Night January 11th

    With the last virtual before Christmas cancelled, it feels like we haven’t seen each other in like ‘forever’. Admittedly, running a yarn shop at that time of year is incredibly stressful, a lot of fun, but very hectic. BUT then comes calm and ease, when you finally find yourself on the sofa with days off…

    Virtual Knit Night November 9th

    I’m resurfacing, crawling out from behind the covid fog, I have to admit that this round was particularly rough. Slowly breathing and slowly getting back on track with everything Knit With Attitude, I’m so grateful for my wonderful staff that are able to steer this ship with steady hands even when I’m not there. Back…

    Virtual Knit Night October 12th

    Both the real world and our knitting world is in a turmoil these days, and if you are feeling confused, stressed and just completely ‘out of it’, you are definitely not alone. We need to create space to breathe and gather ourselves, and we need to openly communicate with each other. I am so looking…

    Virtual Knit Night July 13th

    What a day! You know, one of those where everything you touch turns to poo. So far I’ve had my server crash, deliveries missing what they should contain, a meeting I had to cancel, my blog not accepting my password, and an international shipping disaster for a delivery that was supposed to arrive last week…

    On Varre’s Needles

    Spring is finally here, and it’s joyous. The sun is out, everyone’s breaking out their shorts, t-shirts and sandals. So what better time to cast on… a jumper! The perfect time to finally start the jumper I’ve been collecting yarn for for over a year? Not a chance! Instead I’ve been tempted by the plethora…

    Virtual Knit Night June 8th

    Summer is here, and something weird happened. It’s like with the sun shining and temperatures rising, so did my knitting mojo. Normally I go into a bit of slumber during the hot summer months, and my stitches move very slowly across my needles. Also, as you know, I’ve been a strict one project at the…

The Fibre Friday posts have now been edited to reflect our current selection of yarns, under the new heading Fibre Talk. This week we are talking about merino wool.

    What Maya and George Knits – Camisole No.5

    George’s Orange One I can’t quite remember what came first. Was it Maya’s blog post Summer Knits in June 2022 or when a customer came in looking for yarn to knit the Camisole No.5. But either way we were both hooked on the idea of knitting Camisole No.5 by My Favourite Things and especially knitting…
