    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…

    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…

    Virtual Knit Night April 11th

    It is a bloody miracle, isn’t it? But yes, I do have a FO – a Finished Object – a project completed. Currently blocking on my dining table, I am well pleased with how my Tessellated Vest came out using the Black Elephant Wensleydale. Don’t you just love it when an experiment actually work!!! I…

    Virtual Knit Night March 14th

    Oh you know that feeling right, where it’s almost like you can taste it (although putting a mouthful of fibre-fluff into your mouth is not recommended), nearly done, just a few more rounds and it is done! This is me now, I’m so close, I’m actually considering leaving George at the shop by himself so…

    Virtual Knit Night February 8th

    Like seriously! Where did this morning disappear to? I came in with a plan, and now half a day later it doesn’t seems to have moved at all. My favourite word for this feeling is discombobulated. Discombobulate kind of sounds like you feel when you’re disoriented: bouncing around in several directions at once – which…

    Virtual Knit Night January 11th

    With the last virtual before Christmas cancelled, it feels like we haven’t seen each other in like ‘forever’. Admittedly, running a yarn shop at that time of year is incredibly stressful, a lot of fun, but very hectic. BUT then comes calm and ease, when you finally find yourself on the sofa with days off…

    Virtual Knit Night December 14th

    Some times, not often, but occasionally, even the Queen of Multitasking and the Master of untangling strings has to admit defeat. With the run up to Christmas running a shop, half of my family being down with a nasty flu, and with me finding that there just aren’t enough hours in a day – sadly,…

    Virtual Knit Night October 12th

    Both the real world and our knitting world is in a turmoil these days, and if you are feeling confused, stressed and just completely ‘out of it’, you are definitely not alone. We need to create space to breathe and gather ourselves, and we need to openly communicate with each other. I am so looking…

    Virtual Knit Night September 14th

    Did you have a lovely summer break? I for sure did! Sometimes you need a break to fully appreciate the positives of everyday life – and I am so ready to get back into the swing of it, starting with our first Virtual of the season tonight! What are you working on? I can’t wait…

    Virtual Knit Night July 13th

    What a day! You know, one of those where everything you touch turns to poo. So far I’ve had my server crash, deliveries missing what they should contain, a meeting I had to cancel, my blog not accepting my password, and an international shipping disaster for a delivery that was supposed to arrive last week…

    Virtual Knit Night June 8th

    Summer is here, and something weird happened. It’s like with the sun shining and temperatures rising, so did my knitting mojo. Normally I go into a bit of slumber during the hot summer months, and my stitches move very slowly across my needles. Also, as you know, I’ve been a strict one project at the…

    Virtual Knit Night May 11th

    Can you believe it? I’d almost lost hope, but yes it is true, the sun is out and spring IS HERE! I feel it immediately makes such a difference on the general mood surrounding us – there is a little skip in people’s step, a smile on their faces, and over all the ‘soul of…
