  1. 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...

  4. The Colours Of Nature

    It's with great excitement that the newly translated The Colours of Nature book by Anne Støvlæk Kjær and Louise Shelde Frederiksen of G-uld has arrived at Knit With Attitude. Ever since we attended G-uld's Dyeing Workshop in 2019 we have been entranced by the power of natural dyes. Every time a new batch of yarn from G-uld arrives in the...

    I know I'm fairly late with this notification, but hopefully most of you know the drill by now!

  8. Virtual Knit Night September 30th

    It is official, I completely missed summer this year. Through out June and July we had the greyest coldest rainiest, and darkest days here in London, and what do you know, I kept getting updates from my friends in Norway about the summer of their life, 30 degrees and blistering sunshine - in NORWAY! Then off I go back home...

  9. New Yarn - John Arbon Yarnadelic

    A fun yarn has come to join our selection of yarns from John Arbon. A yarn with the love for music at its core, a yarn that takes its colour names from the very music that inspires it. That yarn is Yarnadelic. So turn up your speakers and read on. John is a big music fan with an eclectic record...

  10. Virtual Knit Night September 16th

    As many of you know, I was finally able to travel back home to see my friends and family for the first time in what feels like forever, and I am currently in Norway. What can I say, it is definitely very emotional and feels quite strange to have travelled such a distance, so to be completely honest, other than...

The Newspaper jumper is not only stunning, it speaks to me on so many levels... Joji says about the design: I don’t like reading the news. I think I should do it more often, but some...

  12. Virtual Knit Night September 2nd - CANCELED

    UPDATE: Dear Friends. Well, turned out my knitting was not the only thing being a bit off today. And what a day! I'm not going to go into the details, except from it being a series of unfortunate events ending up with a complete public transport failure (if you're in London you know how those can occasionally happen, where everything...
