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 …

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 …

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 …

FINALLY! My BlueSand Cardigan finished! Well, it’s been finished for a while but I’ve been so busy wearing it and loving it that I haven’t gotten around to writing about it! Please ignore the state of me in the photo. I’m dreadfully anemic at the moment and had just had a very long day at Scheepjes for our blogger’s day. I …

Remember the hat design I said I was working on, well I did actually finish it! Ta daaa, the Black Brook Beanie! It seems a bit late in the season to be revealing a hat, unless you’re in Canada or something! Whatever, it’s not too early to start preparing for next Christmas, right? I got the name, of course, from my …

I’ve been on a bit of a sock kick lately, and have been putting my stash of Scheepjes Invicta Extra and Invicta Colour to good use. My favourite so far are these striped socks! If you can knit socks this is super easy. Not a pattern as such, as we all have our preferred method for knitting socks, but I …
