    What Maya and George Knits! – Brioche + Mystery Shawl

    George’s Brioche + Mystery Shawl I love a mystery knit-a-long. The adventure and challenge of being faced with an interesting project and the unknown. You don’t know what direction it will turn. Often they include a fun stitch or a different kind of construction you haven’t used before. I also love choosing my colours, as…

    Virtual Knit Night August 19th

    Guess what! I actually have a finished something to show off tonight. My SOSU Brioche + Mystery Shawl is done, ends woven in, blocked and ready in all its glory. AND I’ve moved onto, and well into, my current project … I am obsessing a bit, as it is stranded colour work and the rounds…

    Taking a tour of the Thread & Maple Notions Clutch

    Notions, accessories, bits and bobs. Whatever you call them they always seem to find a way of getting lost, well they certainly do in my house! Cable needles down the back of the sofa, stitch markers up the hoover and why can I never lay my hands on a pair of scissors when I need…

    Virtual Knit Night July 22nd

    It has been blistering hot in ol’ London Town the last few days and I’m running around like a headless chicken trying to gather my mind and getting myself sorted as I am going on holiday tomorrow. I know any small business owner can relate, the last weeks before going away you basically have to…

    Virtual Knit Night July 8th

    I should be doing accounts – but I rather knit! Thursdays I work from home, and they are my designated admin days where I try to get as much done as possible before rewarding myself with our awesome meet ups online! I’ve got some crucial dead lines coming up, and I really shouldn’t procrastinate, but…

    Kits for the iKnit7 KAL A Break in the Tide Shawl by Tif Neilan.

    The excitement is brewing and it’s that time again for the iKnit7 KAL. This time around we are making the gorgeously squishy and oh so textural A Break in the Tide Shawl by Tif Neilan. Worked from the bottom up from point to long edge, you knit combinations of garter stitch, slipped stitches and fisherman’s…

    Virtual Knit Night June 24th

    What a day!!! The iKnit7 A Break in Tide KAL kicked off this morning, and I quickly realised that I would have to abandon all other plans made for the day and resort to a day in front of the screen with my ‘customer service’ hat on. But do I mind? Not at all! Nothing…
