What George Knits – 100g of Tjukk
Is scarf season getting closer? Even if it’s a while off a quick, satisfying and simple project is often a welcome break to the more complicated projects we might be tempted by. I’m always intrigued to see how far I can get from 100g of yarn not only because it is good for customers in…

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…

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!…

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
