    Keep Knitting with Attitude! I’m on the sofa today still trying to catch my breath following the whirlwind that was our grand re-opening yesterday. We were so touched by those of you who came to celebrate with us in person or who sent messages via email and through our social media. Thank you! When you’ve…

    Virtual Knit Night October 13th

    No guys, I haven’t forgotten, but things have been rather hectic here lately so apologies for the later than usual post on our virtual tonight. What can I say, I do have a project that I’ve been working on, but to be honest not much knitting has happened since I saw you last – however,…

    New Yarns – New Joy!

    It continues to be a whirlwind here in the shop with plans being made, construction under way and yarns and notions arriving ahead of our shop expansion later this month. It is this last point thought – THE YARNS – that you’re probably most interested in, so let’s talk about that! Knit With Attitude has…

    All Change Please

    In the last few newsletters I’ve told you the story of how Knit with attitude came to be, and I’ve teased and dropped hints about big changes ahead – I guess it is time to reveal what our next chapter will look like.⁠ I’m feeling rather bittersweet today as we announce some exciting news at…

    Wensleydale – New Yarn from Black Elephant

    Another exciting new yarn from Black Elephant has arrived. This time in the form of 100% British Wensleydale wool. We have noticed a big trend in the appreciation of British wools.

    Virtual Knit Night September 8th

    Today is the first day, I think in three months, that we have temperatures below 20C, And I have to admit I am slightly relieved. I’m sure I’m not the only one sleeping better with cooler nights, and the nip in the air inspires me to cast on ALL THE THINGS! So I am very…

    That’s Just Pants!

    Knitted pants you say? If someone had suggested this for me some years back, I think I would have laughed so hard my coffee would have splurged out my nose. I mean, my kids grew up wearing super cute soakers and me-made leggings for sure, but seriously – for adults? I totally could not have…

    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…
