New Yarn – Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk Forgarn
Light and airy, delicate but hardwearing, squishy and fun to knit, this intriguing yarn from Hillesvåg has arrived and I’m in love. These giant round ‘cakes’ of yarn are Forgarn from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. A ‘pre-yarn’ which means it has been carded (combed) but no twist has been added like with more traditional yarns. This creates…

Swatches and a Sock – Knitting Katla Sokkaband
I’ve longed to knit Hélène Magnússon Katla Sokkaband ever since it arrived in the shop just before Unravel in spring this year. A solid yarn made up of 4 strands of Love Story Einband plied together has made it extremely intriguing. So I bit the bullet and cast on a sock, undeterred by the fact…

But either way we were both hooked on the idea of knitting Camisole No.5 by My Favourite Things and especially knitting…

Inspired by Flowers
Springtime has got me dreaming of flowers. Blossoms on the trees, daffodils popping up in the borders and even my tulips are starting to peek their heads up out of the ground, waiting to give me a vibrant display. So all this flower potential in spring has got me thinking of yarns that take their…

Spring Clean your Notions
I’m really excited about spring, it’s starting to feel just a little bit warmer. Which means I have moved from the heaviest jumpers to braving a sleeveless tank top when I come to work (over a shirt that is, I’m not quite ready for short sleeves yet!). My knitwear is migrating into a more spring…
