  1. What George Knits - Shawlography Shawl

    Another Stephen West Mystery Knit-A-Long came a long in October and I was a bit on the fence about taking part. But then an idea entered my head and I couldn't get it out. What about knitting it in lace? The MKAL shawls are always huge, so it shrinking it down a bit would be OK I thought. Whats more...

  2. Knitters Gift Guide - Kits

    So we said we were looking at everything else but yarn, but how could we resist! This post though is dedicated to kits. Carefully curated bundles of yarn to complete a whole project. These are not just random skeins, but the whole project potential. Is there something a knitting friend has been dreaming of making but not had the yarn...

  4. Yarn Pairings for Laine Issue 13

    I love winter issues of magazines. There is something so tempting at the thought of hunkering down on a dark evening sipping a warm mug of hot chocolate. Letting your eye wander from project to project, enjoying the pages of endless inspiration before you. Laine is one of those magazines you can get lost in, sumptuously photographed and beautifully produced...

  7. Singles Schmingles Day

    Knock … knock … You know when they air-knock towards you to make it look like they knock on your screen, and a guy with the whitest teeth I've ever seen smiled at me on my feed. “Have you heard about the Singles Day? Last year it generated more sales than Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined, and I'm here...

  9. Virtual Knit Night November 11th

    We're on a stranded colour work craze for sure, with the Meadow knit-a-long in full swing, I am definitely suffering from the just-one-more-row-before... syndrome. Working on the same project, there is a bit of friendly rivalry happening as well, I just noticed that George is ahead of me with a few rows. Can't have that happening can I, so tonight...
