Virtual Knit Night April 14th
Another month since our last meet up and I have to admit, my days as a monogamous knitter are over! To be honest, I'm not sure if I've ever been one, but with the whole 'get-organised-tidy-house-tidy-mind-social-media-mindfulness-coaching'-thing that happened over the lock down years I think I might have had a phase. But yes, I am back to my messy self... -

Block around the Clock
Every knitter has their own way of knitting and their own tension. These may slightly vary from knitter to knitter or vary a lot. Knitting styles, needle types and yarn varieties all play a part in the finished tension of a piece. That's why it's important to swatch. To knit to the same tension as specified in the pattern not... -
