Tonight I'm getting onto those sleeves, and hope to see you and your knitting at our Virtual Knit Night. I did some quick counting and what do you know - this is our 20th Zoom gathering! The... -
Test Knit Open - Knitting With Attitude
It has been more than a year since George and I started working on the Knit with attitude's 10 year anniversary book. I can't describe the feeling when all our designers came back to us with their samples, and the joy and enthusiasm we had when announcing the upcoming book last autumn. Everything seemed to come together beautifully, what a... -

Virtual Knit Night July 23rd

Virtual Knit Night July 9th
This week I learned to drink gin, and so so so paying for it afterwards, I'm not sure whether or not to take my new knowledge on to tonight's knit night. BUT I do know one thing for sure, and that is that I will show off my newly finished shawl, ends woven in, newly blocked and all... The details... -
What Maya Knits - KORO KORO Shawl
As the pandemic spread and London went into lock-down, I went into melting mode. Turning to my knitting for comfort, none of my ongoing projects gave the nurture or the calm I was looking for. Maybe this is because they were newly started summer projects, in thinner yarns and airy stitches, neither carried the promise of what I needed the... -

It is Thursday, and we will be hanging out virtually once more! Aaaand, I've actually got something to show off - a brand new finished project! Well almost, my main task for tonight is to weave in my ends. Hope to see you there! The details are the same as always, we are on from 7pm to 8.30pm UK time...
