Virtual Knit Night September 3rd
There was this shift in the weather this week, in just a few days we went from proper hot to quite chilly. I don't feel like this was a smooth transition, almost like we just missed 'late summer' and went straight into fall. I do miss these longer chillier evenings though, they usually provide heaps of knitting time - the...

Time for a New Project - Pianta Hat by Lavanya Patricella
It's starting to feel a little Autumnal here in London. As I gaze out of the window grey clouds hang overhead and spots of rain appear now and again. The height of summer with its 30°C+ heat is slowly fading away. This is a glorious time to be a knitter as we can start to fantasise about all the woolly...

Virtual Knit Night August 20th
How did this happen, how did I go from being monogamous to having four projects on the go? I'm currently doing a test knit for a dear friend of mine, which involves lace too complicated to work on at tonight's knit night, so I might just finish a sleeve on another project instead. Hope to see you there! The details...
