Fibre Foraging with Maya and Tuva
Sometimes, as a knitter, you discover a design that just knocks the air out of you. Nothing else matters, you just have to get it onto your needles as quickly as you can.

Virtual Knit Night November 10th
Sometimes, no matter what an organising mastermind you are, things don't work at plan. And today is such a day for me. I am supposed to be on a plane going to Norway tonight, and there are full on strikes happening across the public transport network in London. To be able to get to the airport I've had to be...
