Beautifully made and decorative, and of course they can be...

In my personal collection – The Magical World According to Miss Millie I first came across Louisa Harding years ago, when as a new mum I bought a pattern collection named 'The Magical World According to Miss Millie', and found myself completely enhanced by the fairytale world of Louisa's children clothes. Sourcing new yarns to introduce to Knit with...

If you saw my last blog post profiling Wool and the Gang you’ll know it’s no secret that I’m delighted to be stocking their yarns. To celebrate having WATG yarns in the shop, and to make Christmas holiday knitting more fun this year, we’re going to host a Knit with attitude Christmas KAL over in our Ravelry group. With five...

I'm so excited to tell that we finally have most of the Wool and the Gang yarns (and some kits too) in stock! From the 'classic' super chunky Crazy Sexy Wool, to the most luscious newcomer in the family Sheepaca, a yarn as elegant as it's name! Recently I grabbed hold of one of the Gangstas Anna Martinou and asked...

September has been a whirlwind of activity in the shop with the drop in temperatures. It’s nice to see regular customers back from holidays and everyone getting excited about their autumn projects. One of the things that kept me busy in the shop was that Knit with attitude participated once again in the Great London Yarn Crawl. This is a...

Another newcomer to the shop this summer – Soak Wash. Soak is the answer to the question, “How best to take care of my handmade knits?” Soak Founder and Director of Possibilities Jacqueline Sava was visiting London recently and sat down with us to chat about how Soak fits into how we like Knit With Attitude… Thanks for chatting with...

As you probably have noticed, first half of 2014 brought lots of changes to Knit with attitude, our refurbishment meant much more shelf space and finally I've had the chance to expand our selection and introduce more new brands, and there is even more to come... One company I've started collaborating with this year is Danish DesignETTE. I met founder...

What's your summer knitting project? I'm on my way back home to Norway for my summer holiday and just popped by the shop to make sure I have enough yarn for my summer knits. It seems like I've got sleeves issues these days, as this is what's left to do on several of my projects, and now I hope to...

To celebrate the arrival of Wool and the Gang yarns, knitting kits and ready to wear at Knit with attitude, we decided to throw a party. AND what a great party it was! The Sansa & Khaleesi Jewellery Workshop was buzzing, and there were plenty of bubbly drinks for everyone (and snacks, after all we're civilised people). I was asked...

Finally something has been completed (and I've got the pictures to prove it)! Nemi's new cardi is the My Honey by Elena Nodel. It is such a fun knit with lots and lots of constructional details making sure you'll never get bored. I'm a huge fan of Elena's designs and have made several of her kids garments. This time I...
