I’m so happy to finally show you my Sliding Tiles Blanket. Yes, it has a name! I put a call out to my Scheepjes Bloggers to help me think of a name, and after some discussion, Simy Somer mentioned that it reminded her of one of those sliding tile puzzles we used to do back in the day, remember those?! Maybe some …

A little while ago I discussed WIP-itis and a blanket I’ve been working on since pretty much before the wheel was invented. Since then I’ve been busy trying to get it finished and thought I’d give a bit more info, since I was super vague in my last post. This design has been going on for such a long time, I actually …

One of the things I see most while kicking around craft groups is the dreaded never ending WIPs. Everyone has them, unless they are incredibly organised and never distracted, which is not me. Not by a long shot! I’m exactly the opposite of that, in fact! I see a lot of makers talking about how they have all these WIPs, …

Hello everyone! I am back to share the pattern for my Chain Reaction Socks with you! As I mentioned in my previous post these are the perfect socks for crashing in front of the TV with your latest Netflix binge, or for on the go. There are only two rows of actual pattern work and the rest is all just knit, …

I figured it was time for an update on the Metropolis socks I posted about a little while ago! The socks are finished but I don’t have proper photos or the pattern written up just yet, but I do have some WIP photos and info to share. When I wrote my previous post, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do …

Yesterday Scheepjes announced their new yarn, Whirl Fine-Art, which is taking Whirl to a whole new level! It still has the long, beautiful colour changes we all love, but now in a Superfine Merino blend in DK weight. It is the same blend as in the Merino Soft line, which means they are a perfect match for using together in whatever gradient project …

Hello friends! Wow, it really has been a spectacularly long time, hasn’t it? As usual, so much has changed since I last wrote, I don’t even know where to begin. We’ve moved AGAIN, and are now living in the very south of France in the city of Montpellier. It was a very rough year, 2019, for various reasons, which lead to this …

Hello everyone! I’m so excited to share my new pattern with you – my Spice Market Socks! They are made toe-up using the Mosaic method which means that you knit with only one colour at at time to create a colour pattern, as opposed to stranded colourwork or fair isle, which requires you to carry your colours along with you. The …

For a while now I’ve been thinking of doing a series of shawl designs for beginners, which focuses on a particular design element. To take that element and use it in different ways within the same projects to show how it affects the outcome. When I was new at knitting I would choose a pattern I liked and jump in, …

If you ever question my ability to procrastinate, here is the cold hard proof that I have mastered that skill. It was almost two years ago that I first showed my All Good Things cowl here on my blog. I had the best of intentions for releasing the pattern quickly, but then other projects and other things (moving house, injuries, etc) got …
