  1. 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...

Heavily ornate colourwork designs that feature everything from the traditional to the modern, the geometric to the flowing and the graphic to the cutesy. Each design can be knit in a combination...

  3. What George Knits - Sea Mist Shawl

    My design the Sea Mist Shawl was published as part of Laine Issue 11 in Summer 2021. Now it is available as a single pattern so I thought it would be fun to knit up a new version in some of the yarns we have here at Knit With Attitude. I have had it in my head to knit a...

  5. Virtual Knit Night March 10th

    Another world crisis is happening and the news coming from Ukraine is both terrifying and heart breaking. When everything seems overwhelming and as to falling apart around us, how do we justify our emotion, how are we supposed to or even allowed to feel? I've been thinking a lot about how we as humans are multi-faceted beings, our emotions are...

  6. Inspiration and Kits for Blum by Rachel Illsley

    Rachel Illsley's colourwork designs are just magnificent, they are complex but delicate at the same time and ooze personality. Small and well observed details are at the heart of her patterns.

  9. 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...
