  1. Virtual Knit Night March 14th

    Oh you know that feeling right, where it's almost like you can taste it (although putting a mouthful of fibre-fluff into your mouth is not recommended), nearly done, just a few more rounds and it is done! This is me now, I'm so close, I'm actually considering leaving George at the shop by himself so that I can go home...

  2. Inspiration for Mazurka by Becci Pamely-Bast

    We love Riverknits and we had a great time catching up at Unravel a couple of weekends ago with Becci and Markus who are behind the Riverknits Chimera we stock. Becci was wearing the most amazing jumper knit in Chimera that was catching everyones attention. That jumper is the Mazurka by Becci herself and the pattern has now been released...

  3. New Yarn - Black Elephant Corriedale

    New yarn is hanging on the hand dyed wall of the shop and that is always an exciting moment. Not only because I get so tempted to cast on a completely new project but it looks great. It's calling to me from across the shop as I sit here and write this, 'knit me, knit me'. That new yarn is...

  6. Virtual Knit Night February 8th

    Like seriously! Where did this morning disappear to? I came in with a plan, and now half a day later it doesn't seems to have moved at all. My favourite word for this feeling is discombobulated. Discombobulate kind of sounds like you feel when you're disoriented: bouncing around in several directions at once - which is exactly what is happening...

  7. What would you pick?

    Admittedly, having half of our delivery disappear into nothingness, circling the earth and some, just to get from Norway to the UK, does put a damper on an otherwise insanely exciting launch! However, as my Nan used to say, those who are waiting for something good will never wait in vain. Our wonderfully lush delivery has been found, located, and...

  8. Virtual Knit Night January 11th

    With the last virtual before Christmas cancelled, it feels like we haven't seen each other in like 'forever'. Admittedly, running a yarn shop at that time of year is incredibly stressful, a lot of fun, but very hectic. BUT then comes calm and ease, when you finally find yourself on the sofa with days off to properly indulge in your...

  10. Virtual Knit Night December 14th

    Some times, not often, but occasionally, even the Queen of Multitasking and the Master of untangling strings has to admit defeat. With the run up to Christmas running a shop, half of my family being down with a nasty flu, and with me finding that there just aren't enough hours in a day - sadly, I know, but I have...
