    Hang Out With Me?

    I’ve just sat down to type this out. I am, as you know, a woman of many words and I’ve been brewing on this for so long, still I find I am struggling to form my sentences and I am worried about being able to word myself in the best way for this, admittedly, quite…

    Virtual Knit Night tomorrow October 10th

    Right, how do I even put this … guys I’ve made a proper blooper. I’ve got my days mixed up and don’t have any other excuse than my knitting. It is true, these days I am so obsessed with my project that I’ve taken my finger completely off the button and lost track of all…

    Virtual Knit Night September 11th 2025

    Summer is definitely passing, and although we’re blessed with unusual nice temperatures here in London these days, there is that specific nip in the air – that for yarnies can mean only one thing – it is woolly season! My summer has been wonderful, filled with activities and rest, but I have to admit my…

    Virtual Knit Night June 12th 2025

    I am writing this sat in a huge river of ripped up stitches. Trying to decide on what to work on tonight, I went through my projects and even though I take quite a long time to actually fall out of love with projects and can potentially let them rest for years before I decide…

    Virtual Knit Night May 8th

    In the last few newsletters we’ve discussed the moment when a WIP (work in process project) turns into a UFO (unfinished object project), and further to this, the dismissal of or rekindling of past loves. Speaking about myself, I’ve just picked up a project left untouched for more than 2 years, and this has definitely…

    Dear Friends. Sometimes life brings lemons – and I’m having a particularly lemon heavy day – just a few too many to make lemonade I’m afraid. I adore our virtuals, and I love getting caught up on what you’re all working on, however this time I have to rein in my excitement and ask you…

    Virtual Knit Night February 13th

    Oh my did I go down a rabbit hole. Though I’ve been avoiding it, and then not wanting to relate to it, and then hearing so much about it my curiosity got the best of me, and then finally caving in – I tried chatGPT for the first time – and it had me in…

    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…

    Virtual Knit Night December 12th

    Oh yes, I can definitely feel the yuletide spirit sieving in – everywhere! The shop is filled with Christmas shoppers, our Christmas tunes are playing, and we do have some sneaky treats to nibble on in our staff kitchen. It is exhausting and incredibly fun at the same time, and after closing, the evenings promise…
