What Maya and George Knits! - Brioche + Mystery Shawl
George's Brioche + Mystery Shawl I love a mystery knit-a-long. The adventure and challenge of being faced with an interesting project and the unknown. You don’t know what direction it will turn. Often they include a fun stitch or a different kind of construction you haven’t used before. I also love choosing my colours, as its all about indulging in... -
Virtual Knit Night August 19th
Guess what! I actually have a finished something to show off tonight. My SOSU Brioche + Mystery Shawl is done, ends woven in, blocked and ready in all its glory. AND I've moved onto, and well into, my current project ... I am obsessing a bit, as it is stranded colour work and the rounds are so short compared to...

Virtual Knit Night August 5th
After a much needed break last week, I am back in the shop trying to get back on track, admittedly I'm still in a bit of a dozy state - going away was just so nice. Even better, my travelling by train blessed me with plenty of knitting time, and you know what? I'm so close to finishing my shawl...

Taking a tour of the Thread & Maple Notions Clutch
Notions, accessories, bits and bobs. Whatever you call them they always seem to find a way of getting lost, well they certainly do in my house! Cable needles down the back of the sofa, stitch markers up the hoover and why can I never lay my hands on a pair of scissors when I need them. For all those misplaced...

Virtual Knit Night July 22nd
It has been blistering hot in ol' London Town the last few days and I'm running around like a headless chicken trying to gather my mind and getting myself sorted as I am going on holiday tomorrow. I know any small business owner can relate, the last weeks before going away you basically have to do three times as much...

Taking a tour of the Hide & Hammer Bags

Nu grew up loving leather and wood through her grandfather who taught her to appreciate the fine details in functional items. Nu applies this attention to detail through everything she makes, leading to beautifully crafted leather...

Virtual Knit Night July 8th
I should be doing accounts - but I rather knit! Thursdays I work from home, and they are my designated admin days where I try to get as much done as possible before rewarding myself with our awesome meet ups online! I've got some crucial dead lines coming up, and I really shouldn't procrastinate, but this shawl I'm currently working...

The excitement is brewing and it's that time again for the iKnit7 KAL. This time around we are making the gorgeously squishy and oh so textural A Break in the Tide Shawl by Tif Neilan.

Virtual Knit Night June 24th
What a day!!! The iKnit7 A Break in Tide KAL kicked off this morning, and I quickly realised that I would have to abandon all other plans made for the day and resort to a day in front of the screen with my 'customer service' hat on. But do I mind? Not at all! Nothing - and I really mean...
