What Maya and George Knits – Throwback Tops
We are exposed to inspiration and the most wonderful creations on a daily basis here at the KWA HQ, and that means that occasionally the urge to make will strike simultaneously – and hit both George and I at the same time. We will then embark on the same project, a friendly battle of the…

Virtual Knit Night June 13th
Oh I’m having one of those days where there doesn’t seem to be enough hours in a day – a proper jig saw puzzle of activities, covering business life as much as every day family obligations. I’ll be running around covering all my bases, hopefully landing on my sofa because tonight I plan to tune…

Come ply with me…
With this post I’m looking at plying and a few different characteristics it gives to yarns. In its simplest forms ply means the number of strands of yarn twisted together and ply can be used to describe the thickness of yarn. For example a 4-ply being thicker than a 2-ply as it has more strands…

Tessellated by Andrea Mowry – Colour Inspiration
We have revamped the ever popular Tessellated Kits so I’m having a rummage through the shelves and putting together some colour combinations. The Tessellated pattern comes in either a vest or a pullover and both incorporate this beautifully simple slip stitch colourwork design. The vest is a simple round necked tank top knit from the…

Home Grown
There are some beautiful yarns at Knit With Attitude from all around the world but with this post my aim is to look at those yarns that are a bit closer to home. Focusing on the yarns that are made up of British grown fibres and having a closer look at the sheep behind those…

What George Knits – Kaarina Shawl
Continuing on with my little scarf series knit in the relaunched Hey Mama Wolf yarn I have knit up another one. This time in Ylva. I have to say I am obsessing about one skein projects at the moment and especially little scarfs, they are so cute. They are great to have in the shop…

Recommended Yarn Third Edition – Part Two
I’ve been a bit slow to follow up on part two of the Third Edition of Recommended Yarn. Better late than never. If you haven’t seen the recommended yarn posts before the theme is to look at designs that have been written exactly for the yarns that we stock. We are often asked to substitute…

Design Inspiration for Vivacious Botanicals
You might think that one becomes a bit blasé by working here at Knit with attitude, I mean there is literally beauty everywhere you look, and one could assume that this simply has to dampen the enthusiasm a bit… But no, nah, not at all and absolutely by no means – this does not happen!…

I just couldn’t resist some Vivacious colour combos…
Like the title of this blog post says I just couldn’t resist some Vivacious colour combinations. Since we had a big restock of Fyberspates Vivacious and the new Vivacious Botanical I have kept taking them off the wall and laying them next to each other in all sorts of combinations. Every day I come in…

Virtual Knit Night May 9th
Oh I’ve had a few weeks with nothing but admin, spread sheets, counts, numbers and filing – I swear if it weren’t for the few minutes of knitting that I’ve snuck in every evening – I would haver lost my grip on things! And that is just one of the wonderful aspects of this dear…

What George Knits – Bassenfell Scarf
The full range of the relaunched Hey Mama Wolf yarn has been calling me from the shelves so I’ve started a little scarf side quest. I have got it into my head that I want to knit one skein scarfs in all the Hey Mama Wolf yarns. For one they make a great shop sample…

What Maya Knits – Tessellated Vest
As most of you know by now, my knitting time is so precious to me – firstly as it is very limited, secondly because with time I’ve become slow. With this I noticed a change in my focus, where the end result used to be the main goal, it is now all about the process,…
