Yarn Pairings for Laine Issue 14
It’s always an exciting time when the new issue of Laine Magazine arrives. But for this issue, it was made even more exciting because we got to see the samples when we had Sini and the Laine Issue 14 Trunk Show in the shop on 2nd May. Issue 14 is inspired by the light Nordic…

For The Love Of …
A recurring theme in the Knit with attitude newsletter is our community, the joy of sharing and being joined together by our love for our crafts and the joy of creating and making.

Virtual Knit Night April 14th
Another month since our last meet up and I have to admit, my days as a monogamous knitter are over! To be honest, I’m not sure if I’ve ever been one, but with the whole ‘get-organised-tidy-house-tidy-mind-social-media-mindfulness-coaching’-thing that happened over the lock down years I think I might have had a phase. But yes, I am…

Designer Feature – Birkebolla Strikk
We have become entranced by the mesmerising colourwork socks of Jorun (Birkebolla Strikk). If you are not a sock knitter these sure are the socks to tempt you. Heavily ornate colourwork designs that feature everything from the traditional to the modern, the geometric to the flowing and the graphic to the cutesy. Each design can…

What George Knits – Sea Mist Shawl
My design the Sea Mist Shawl was published as part of Laine Issue 11 in Summer 2021. Now it is available as a single pattern so I thought it would be fun to knit up a new version in some of the yarns we have here at Knit With Attitude. I have had it in…

Virtual Knit Night March 10th
Another world crisis is happening and the news coming from Ukraine is both terrifying and heart breaking. When everything seems overwhelming and as to falling apart around us, how do we justify our emotion, how are we supposed to or even allowed to feel? I’ve been thinking a lot about how we as humans are…

Inspiration and Kits for Blum by Rachel Illsley
Rachel Illsley’s colourwork designs are just magnificent, they are complex but delicate at the same time and ooze personality. Small and well observed details are at the heart of her patterns. Which contain a myriad of tiny crosses, lines and shapes that build into an impactful design. Blum is one of those designs that stops…

We have created an exciting new way of shopping for kits at Knit With Attitude for the upcoming iKnit7 KAL. Susanne Sommer’s design uses two colours. A main colour for the body and sleeves and a contrast colour for the neckband and cuff ribbing. With so many colour choices and so many possibilities our new…

There is so much happening behind the scenes these days, deadlines to be met, launches to prepare, news to be shouted about. It is all very exciting, but I, for one am really looking forward to a well deserved break tonight hanging out with you all. Speaking about excitement, I am planning to finish securing…

Block around the Clock
Every knitter has their own way of knitting and their own tension. These may slightly vary from knitter to knitter or vary a lot. Knitting styles, needle types and yarn varieties all play a part in the finished tension of a piece. That’s why it’s important to swatch. To knit to the same tension as…
