A Deep Dive into Stranded Colourwork
It is probably the Northener in me, or more accurate, me being a Norwegian that makes me crave woolly jumpers as soon as autumn is here – but not any woolly jumper – oh no, I'm talking about proper thick proper wool proper bashing around in the snow jumpers!

Swatches and a Sock - Knitting Katla Sokkaband
I've longed to knit Hélène Magnússon Katla Sokkaband ever since it arrived in the shop just before Unravel in spring this year.

George's Orange One I can't quite remember what came first. Was it Maya's blog post Summer Knits in June 2022 or when a customer came in looking for yarn to knit the Camisole No.5.
