    Virtual Knit Night December 10th

    When we started our regular virtuals mid-March a consistent theme was what to knit next, facing world wide lockdowns and collective fear, not exactly knowing what this was all about, as crafters at least the extra time at home gave promises of activity, and we all had ambitious ideas about completing one project after the…

    Virtual Knit Night December 3rd

    It is a grey heavy day and absolutely freezing in ol’ London Town today, and I can’t come up with any better idea than to curl up for a cozy warm knit night tonight (yes, definitely metaphorically speaking about our wonderful atmosphere here … ).

    Virtual Knit Night November 5th

    So what to say – what a day? I’m not quite sure if I have the words for this current situation, a new lockdown, the US election, I don’t think I’m the only one with heightened emotions today. Maybe we can find our words together – or just quietly sit together and knit? Either or,…

    Virtual Knit Night October 8th

    Stranded on sleeve island, and I lost the yarn chicken game. I don’t think I have enough to finish both sleeves on my Milkweed jumper, so tonight might be the night for touch decisions. To make the sleeves shorter, or to bite the bullet and buy more yarn. Do you want to help me decide?…
