  3. Virtual Knit Night May 11th

    Can you believe it? I'd almost lost hope, but yes it is true, the sun is out and spring IS HERE! I feel it immediately makes such a difference on the general mood surrounding us - there is a little skip in people's step, a smile on their faces, and over all the 'soul of the city' turns brighter and...

  6. Time for a New Project - Brioche O'Clock

    If you are a knitter and one of your best friends is a renowned designer, you tend to believe that everything they come up with is extraordinary. But you see, with my friend it is different, because everything that woman touches turns to gold, she really IS a designer extraordinaire! Julie – true Colour Combo Magician and Queen of Brioche...

  7. Meet Varre

    Hi everyone! Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Varre (she/her) and I’m the newest member of the Knit with Attitude team, both in terms of how long I’ve been here and in terms of how long I’ve been knitting.

  8. Virtual Knit Night April 13th

    So the last few months of winter turned to be quite eventful and did provide a bit more drama than what I would have asked for. There was this wave of unforeseen stuff that just kept on landing in my lap, and unfortunately the consequences were not one but two cancelled Virtual Knit Nights. I am so looking forward to...

  9. On Maya's Needles

    I'm living in the hope of spring arriving soon, but at the moment this seems like a distant dream. The weather is London is horrible at the moment, as a Norwegian I shouldn't complain - but seriously this is cold! Currently on my needles (those active ones, there is no denying I've got other projects hibernating ...) are two projects...

  10. It Came Crashing Down

    I am not a morning person, I am one of those who are deeply in love with my bed and look at every minute I get in it as quality time, so normally you will see me rush in to the shop last minute most days. But with family activities planned for this weekend, and quite a few unfinished things...

  11. Virtual Knit Night January 12th

    It is that time of year where I am drowning in my accounts. I'm leaving everything shop to George and diving in to my folders and the piles of papers not even put in them yet. Let me tell you I'm mustering all the will power I have not to abandon everything, because with me and which I can see...

  12. Unspun, Pre-wool, or Plötu – but what is it and how to work it?

    There is a Norwegian saying that goes something like this: A much loved child is known by many names. And so goes the story with this type of yarn, lush, warm and quite intriguing, known as Unspun, Pre-wool, or Plötu – but what is it and how to work it?  Plötu in Icelandic is directly translated to 'board' or 'disc...
