Urban Foraging
With a desire to do some more natural dyeing I headed out on a foraging adventure looking for buddleia flowers which I have seen give an amazing yellow colour, I was not disappointed. Taking a bag and a pair of scissors I took a walk along a pathway near me that runs along the back…

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…

Swatches and a Sock – Knitting Katla Sokkaband
I’ve longed to knit Hélène Magnússon Katla Sokkaband ever since it arrived in the shop just before Unravel in spring this year. A solid yarn made up of 4 strands of Love Story Einband plied together has made it extremely intriguing. So I bit the bullet and cast on a sock, undeterred by the fact…

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!
