What Maya Knits – Sophie, Ferda & Leopard
A New Year in so many ways mean new beginnings – but for my knitting – no I don’t think so! I guess my resolution this year is to actually finish what I’ve started, and I am absolutely not allowed to cast on something new, before I’ve completed at least one of these. It is…

What Maya Knits – Inner Peace
Today is the day! My friend Veera Välimäki (@veerarain on insta) is releasing her latest design the Inner Peace Sweater, and I can finally show of my new favourite FO – I’ve literarily been wearing this every day since it came off my needles. In the summer Veera put out a call for testers, I…

What Maya Knits – Two at Once
Most know that I am a slow knitter, as in sloth pace slow. I can be quick if I have to, I used to be much quicker, but the combination of my osteoarthritis and time restraints have slowly slowed me down over time. However, I’ve never been into speed knitting, as a process knitter I…

Yarn Pairings for Cultivate Pt. 1
We all know those books that touch us on a deeper level, making a lasting impact on how we see the world. Cultivate: Knitting the Beauty of Nature is just that.

Design Inspiration for Vivacious Botanicals
You might think that one becomes a bit blasé by working here at Knit with attitude, I mean there is literally beauty everywhere you look, and one could assume that this simply has to dampen the enthusiasm a bit… But no, nah, not at all and absolutely by no means – this does not happen!…

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…

What Maya Knits – Autumn Forager by Jennifer Brou
I ripped up the box, flipped the flaps aside, and fell in love – hard! It was our delivery of the autumn issue of Laine and beaming up at me was the cover featuring Autumn Forager by Jennifer Brou (link to Ravelry). My favourite projects are the ones that lets me explore texture, and the…

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…

On Maya’s Needles
I’m living in the hope of spring arriving soon, but at the moment this seems like a distant dream. The weather is London is horrible at the moment, as a Norwegian I shouldn’t complain – but seriously this is cold! Currently on my needles (those active ones, there is no denying I’ve got other projects…

Fibre Foraging with Maya and Tuva
Sometimes, as a knitter, you discover a design that just knocks the air out of you. Nothing else matters, you just have to get it onto your needles as quickly as you can. I mean, I am often intrigued by a project if it bears promises of new techniques or constructions that I haven’t tried…

Sweater Weather yet?
Right, so, I do actually like heat – but his year it seems to be getting to me. My body has turned to syrup, my mind is mush, I don’t seem to be able to form one coherent line of thought, and everything goes so slowly, even the easiest of tasks takes for ever to…
