What Maya Knits - Take Stock
After a really long winter, it honestly feels like we skipped spring all together, the summer heat has finally arrived to London. This is the time of year where I will gather all my 'woollies' give them a good rinse, a new blocking, and zip them up to be locked away for hot summer days and the dreaded moth season...

What George Knits - The Longfellow Cardigan
I never was into cardigans until I knit the Playdate in 2016. I love that cardigan and have worn it non stop ever since. So I think its high time that I knitted a new one. Not wanting to knit the same pattern again I came across the Longfellow by Michele Wang (Ravelry link). This simple cardigan is very similar...

What Maya Knits - Filigree Sweater by Julie Knits in Paris
There is this saying I've kept coming back to throughout my adult life, which goes something like 'if it ain't broken, don't fix it.' the saying originates from Punk culture and the DIY movement, it is about sustainability, and a reflection on why 'replacing' and 'adding to' is quite symptomatic of our current culture. But I seem to be adding...

Embody is not only a knitting book, but also has sewing patterns. This interesting combination was put together by Jacqueline Cieslak using both her knitting and sewing expertise. The ethos behind this collection was to empower makers to create clothes that honour their bodies.

Virtual Knit Night March 11th
I'm curled up in bed under the duvet feeling a bit under the weather today, warm drinks and netflix are on the agenda for me. Needles are of course at hand so there might be a few stitches happening as well in between snoozing. But don't worry - knit night is still on - and what is even better is...

Now don't go ahead and think that I shower everyone with superlatives like this, when I say...

Time for a New Project - Pantone 2021 Colour of the Year Inspirations
I was checking out the Pantone Colour of the Year for 2021 and this year they have chosen two colours. PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray and PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating. So I thought I would use these as inspiration for potential new projects. I wonder if we will see a lot of 'grellow' this year, let this blog post point you in...
