What a Difference a Thread Makes
A couple of weeks ago, we introduced the lovely new design, the Helica Pullover, by Teti's Knit Garden. Teti is known for her nature inspired, almost etheric looking, romantic and timeless style. Teti chose the name for this design, Helica, from Latin, meaning “winding”, because of the winding ivy branch of the colourwork motifs on the yoke. When exploring the...

Virtual Knit Night July 11th
You know, when you are planning for a new project in anticipation, that feeling. Who would have thought that a couple of needles and a string of thread can give so much joy - without actually producing anything, because I am swatching... and what I have to show for it is a pile of swatches. I'll eagerly continue on these...

What Maya and George Knits - Throwback Tops
We are exposed to inspiration and the most wonderful creations on a daily basis here at the KWA HQ, and that means that occasionally the urge to make will strike simultaneously - and hit both George and I at the same time. We will then embark on the same project, a friendly battle of the speediest needles (that I loose...

Virtual Knit Night June 13th
Oh I'm having one of those days where there doesn't seem to be enough hours in a day - a proper jig saw puzzle of activities, covering business life as much as every day family obligations. I'll be running around covering all my bases, hopefully landing on my sofa because tonight I plan to tune in to our Virtual from...

Design Inspiration for Vivacious Botanicals
You might think that one becomes a bit blasé by working here at Knit with attitude, I mean there is literally beauty everywhere you look, and one could assume that this simply has to dampen the enthusiasm a bit… But no, nah, not at all and absolutely by no means - this does not happen! I do believe that for...

Virtual Knit Night May 9th
Oh I've had a few weeks with nothing but admin, spread sheets, counts, numbers and filing - I swear if it weren't for the few minutes of knitting that I've snuck in every evening - I would haver lost my grip on things! And that is just one of the wonderful aspects of this dear craft isn't it, it is...

What Maya Knits – Tessellated Vest
As most of you know by now, my knitting time is so precious to me – firstly as it is very limited, secondly because with time I've become slow. With this I noticed a change in my focus, where the end result used to be the main goal, it is now all about the process, the knitting in itself, and...

Virtual Knit Night April 11th
It is a bloody miracle, isn't it? But yes, I do have a FO - a Finished Object - a project completed. Currently blocking on my dining table, I am well pleased with how my Tessellated Vest came out using the Black Elephant Wensleydale. Don't you just love it when an experiment actually work!!! I was debating with myself wether...

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...

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...
