A clue is released every week for four weeks seeing you on a journey of texture, colour, shape and construction. Often challenging you with new stitches or techniques, but fear not they are all...

Laine 22 is titled Aalto after the Finish architect Alvar Aalto who designed the Paimio Sanatorium where this issues photos were taken.

It Takes Two
Do you also get an idea of what you want to knit and once that idea is implanted you cannot shake it? Even if you have a queue of projects a mile long, with yarn to knit them. Well this has happened to me this week and I am having to be very disciplined in trying to resist. I'm being...

Designer Focus - Florence Spurling
I'm in love with the intricate colourwork detail Florence Spurling brings to her projects. I have admired her Scout Shawl design for many years. Those repeating motifs that seem to tread the line between the traditionally familiar and the contemporary graphic. So when we noticed the Anouka Tank and the Adelia Tee we had to jump right in and put together some...

What George Knits - Fast Forward Scarf
If you have been keeping an eye on the blog then you might have noticed the little scarf series I have been working on. It started with the idea of seeing what little projects are out there for just one skein of yarn. I have been working my way through the Hey Mama Wolf Yarns starting with Mokosh and knitting...

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...

Recommended Yarn Third Edition - Part Two
I've been a bit slow to follow up on part two of the Third Edition of Recommended Yarn. Better late than never. If you haven't seen the recommended yarn posts before the theme is to look at designs that have been written exactly for the yarns that we stock. We are often asked to substitute yarns for patterns but for...

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...
