    What George Knits – Copenhagen Building Blocks

    This pattern has been on my radar for a while, I’m a big fan of colourwork and enjoy a blanket project from time to time. I loved the idea of the mix and match building theme and I have a friend who lives in Copenhagen so it’s perfect. It all came about because I wanted…

    This blog post goes out to all of those technical knitters out there, those of us that like to explore, learn and document our findings. I have to say I do try but I am hopeless at keeping records of what I have done. So I have taken a look at two book series that…

    What Maya Knits – Sophie, Ferda & Leopard

    A New Year in so many ways mean new beginnings – but for my knitting – no I don’t think so! I guess my resolution this year is to actually finish what I’ve started, and I am absolutely not allowed to cast on something new, before I’ve completed at least one of these. It is…

    Virtual Knit Night January 9th

    The letters on my hand – PUST – is the Norwegian word for breathe, breath, breeze and pause. After a personal crisis last year I realised I’d completely forgotten how to, and so I had this done to remind me, daily. This year, however, also brought a non-voluntarily pause as I woke up on New…
