There’s nothing like a yarn delivery to brighten up a cloudy day! Yup, that’s the Girls Night In final limited edition of the Scheepjes Hygge CAL designed by the lovely Kirsten from Haak Maar Raak! I was lucky enough to be able to get a kit to give you a sneak preview. Let’s have a closer look… Aren’t the colours beautiful? …

The finishing touches are on my I Love Herringbone Wanderlust project, and not only is it finished, but it actually has a proper name – All Good Things! Why did I decide to call it All Good Things? Well, probably for the very reason you just came up with in your head. All good things come to those who wait. I have …

Today Scheepjes  has announced a new yarn that I’m really excited about and I’m able to give you an exclusive preview! Check this out: Hellz yesssss, that’s a long gradient yarn right there!! It’s not just your average gradient either, as it has a few characteristics that set it apart from the rest, one of which I like A LOT. Firstly, …

So, Christmas is behind us now and it’s hard to believe that it’s already almost the middle of February! Time is passing so quickly and before we know it we will be heading into spring! We are so looking forward to seeing spring in this area, as I’m sure it must be beautiful. I imagine fields of wild flowers and the …

Aaagggggh, I’m dying over here! I have been working on this project for the last week or two and I love, love, love it! It has no name, poor thing, but I’ll get there. I’m going to try to not give too much away in the photos but I have to share how amazingly this stitch has worked out with the …

I do! I do! A while back I was sent some of the purples range of Scheepjes new Wanderlust yarns to play with and they are super pretty. I immediately knew which ones I liked best (the two on the right oops, left!) and started hatching a plan for what to make. Left to right: Rio de Janeiro (453), Las Vegas (458), Paris …

When we realized that we weren’t going to the states and that my husband would be free to work from home wherever he wanted, there was only one place on our minds – FRANCE!  After spending so many holidays there over the past number of years, we had both totally fallen in love with the countryside, culture, lifestyle and weather. Living …

All it I takes is a quick look at my blog timeline to see that other than the odd knitting project, I’ve not really been writing a whole lot. Why? Well, mostly because I’ve been too damn tired. I had very limited mental and physical energy to put towards anything and blogging wasn’t really a priority. In a few of …

My new fair isle hat design is complete and as promised, here is a better look at it! I even came up with a name for it already, which is surprising as I often hum and haw for ages over the name. I’ve decided to name it after La Benaize, a river that runs through the woods next to the …

The cold weather must be working its magic on me, because I appear to be on a bit of a hat kick! I have been working on another hat design, this time using leftover yarn from my BlueSand Cardigan that I made a while back using Scheepjes Stone Washed. Hello, recycled yarn arrival photo! I loved the cardigan project so much and …

Wow, so it’s been a while! It has been almost seven months since I last posted about this hat and so much has changed in that time! So much to write about that I’m not even sure where to start, which is why I haven’t yet.  Anyway, I had originally designed the hat for a trip we were planning for …
