UPDATE: Dear Friends. Well, turned out my knitting was not the only thing being a bit off today. And what a day! I’m not going to go into the details, except from it being a series of unfortunate events ending up with a complete public transport failure (if you’re in London you know how those…

Guess what! I actually have a finished something to show off tonight. My SOSU Brioche + Mystery Shawl is done, ends woven in, blocked and ready in all its glory. AND I’ve moved onto, and well into, my current project … I am obsessing a bit, as it is stranded colour work and the rounds…

After a much needed break last week, I am back in the shop trying to get back on track, admittedly I’m still in a bit of a dozy state – going away was just so nice. Even better, my travelling by train blessed me with plenty of knitting time, and you know what? I’m so…

It has been blistering hot in ol’ London Town the last few days and I’m running around like a headless chicken trying to gather my mind and getting myself sorted as I am going on holiday tomorrow. I know any small business owner can relate, the last weeks before going away you basically have to…

I should be doing accounts – but I rather knit! Thursdays I work from home, and they are my designated admin days where I try to get as much done as possible before rewarding myself with our awesome meet ups online! I’ve got some crucial dead lines coming up, and I really shouldn’t procrastinate, but…

What a day!!! The iKnit7 A Break in Tide KAL kicked off this morning, and I quickly realised that I would have to abandon all other plans made for the day and resort to a day in front of the screen with my ‘customer service’ hat on. But do I mind? Not at all! Nothing…

We’ve been meeting up virtually every week for more than a year, but with the restrictions easing up and with more activity in the shop, we decided to start doing them every other week. I have to admit it was a bit weird not seeing you all last Thursday, but in anticipation I am even…

Oh my did I fall deep deep down the rabbit hole … After a year playing the ‘I’m going to get myself so organised and finish all my projects’-game, I’ve now failed completely. I’ve got at least three nearly done projects, but then I signed up for the SOSU KAL which I am currently completely…

I’m in between projects, or that is, I have secured my steeks, and there is no way I’ll be making the first cut without George mentally holding my hand, so that will just have to wait until over the weekend. Meaning, I’m in between. Oh the struggles, what to do? Either I continue on my…

The body of my colourwork cardigan is done, and I’m about to do steeking for the first time. I’ve been debating whether or not to use a sewing machine to secure my steaks before making the first cut, but something in me didn’t sit comfortable with the thought of non-stretchy cotton thread and elastic knitting,…

Stock take – check, Accounting – check, VAT return – check, new yarns up online – check, instagram and blog post done – check! Another week filled with screen time for me, so much that the numbers started floating in front of my eyes and I was jumping spread sheet columns in my dreams. It…
