  1. Virtual Knit Night April 29th

    Stock take - check, Accounting - check, VAT return - check, new yarns up online - check, instagram and blog post done - check! Another week filled with screen time for me, so much that the numbers started floating in front of my eyes and I was jumping spread sheet columns in my dreams. It might be intense while happening...

  2. Story Time - Hoddmime's Forest

    In Norse mythology Ragnarok is when the humans and gods collide in conflict and despair. It is the end of the world, in fire and battle, and almost all gods and humans die. The description of the end times does not sound great, there will be a winter lasting for several years, kinsfolk and friends will be slaying each other...

  3. What George Knits – Tuva's Arrows by Julie Knits in Paris

    So the gorgeous Norne Yarn arrived at Knit With Attitude and with that delivery came the most amazing and most deeply sumptuous green. Its no secret that I love green, almost everything I own is green! But when the custom dyed Knit With Attitude colour Hoddmime's Forest landed it was love at first sight. This colour inspired by Norse mythology...

  4. Virtual Knit Night April 22nd

    We are still working with reduced staffing in the shop to maintain social distancing, meaning that Thursdays are my 'work from home' days. I try to get most admin done of those days, so it means quite a few hours spent staring at the screen. Spred sheets, documents, plans, endless amounts of sentences and numbers. But on Thursday evenings my...

  5. What Maya Knits - Filigree Sweater by Julie Knits in Paris

    There is this saying I've kept coming back to throughout my adult life, which goes something like 'if it ain't broken, don't fix it.' the saying originates from Punk culture and the DIY movement, it is about sustainability, and a reflection on why 'replacing' and 'adding to' is quite symptomatic of our current culture. But I seem to be adding...

  6. Virtual Knit Night April 15th

    My shop is open! After a couple of very intense weeks of sorting, organising, tidying and re-stocking, and finally my shop no longer looks like a warehouse, gone are all the boxes and my shelves are once more bursting with colours. What a transformation, and what joy. This Monday we were finally able to open the doors and welcome our...

  7. Inspiration for SOSU Knits Brioche + Mystery KAL

    It's Mystery Knit-A-Long time! The excitement, the thrill, the unknown! It has us hooked from beginning to end. Susanne Sommer's MKAL begins on the 21st May. Titled 'Brioche + Mystery', this is going to be one for brioche lovers. Judging by Susanne's other brioche designs I think we will be in for a treat. The Mystery works like this: every...

  8. Virtual Knit Night April 8th

    One of the 'weird' UK particulars I learned when moving to London is that the tax year starts April 6th. Yes, that's right, not January 1st but a few days into April. This also means that we have to do our stock take at this time, so the day before yesterday we counted all the things, absolutely everything! And then...

  9. Yarn Pairings for Embody

    Embody is not only a knitting book, but also has sewing patterns. This interesting combination was put together by Jacqueline Cieslak using both her knitting and sewing expertise. The ethos behind this collection was to empower makers to create clothes that honour their bodies. Embody consists of three infinitely adaptable patterns — two knitting, one sewing — with bespoke instructions...
