    New Year … New Skill

    Do you have any crafty goals for 2023 or wanting to learn something new? Sometimes I set myself a little challenge at the beginning of the year, one year it was to knit more socks. Though I’m not quite sure what it will be this year. Maybe I’ll just knit through my stash and not…

    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?
