What George Knits – Lillebrors Teddy by Aftenstrikk
I was browsing projects on Ravelry the other day and I came across the cutest little teddy bear. If you didn’t know already I have an obsession with knitting soft toys and it is what got me in to knitting when I was a child. When I saw the Lillebrors Teddy I was in love…

Exploring Pickles Økologisk Bomull
We have been enjoying the Pickles Økologisk Bomull for over a year so it’s well overdue a blog post. Usually we write a ‘New Yarn’ post as soon as something arrives in the shop that we have not had before. But for some reason we missed this cotton. That is not to say it is…

Inspiration for Flea Sweater
We often get a lot of requests for how the Flea Sweater might look in different colour combos. I’ve attempted to work a little photoshop magic to give you some ideas.

What Maya Knits – Two at Once
Most know that I am a slow knitter, as in sloth pace slow. I can be quick if I have to, I used to be much quicker, but the combination of my osteoarthritis and time restraints have slowly slowed me down over time. However, I’ve never been into speed knitting, as a process knitter I…

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 would you pick?
Admittedly, having half of our delivery disappear into nothingness, circling the earth and some, just to get from Norway to the UK, does put a damper on an otherwise insanely exciting launch!
