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... -
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... -
New Project - Newspaper by Joji Locatelli
So you take our favourite designer and pair it with our favourite yarn and what do you get? Pure magic if you ask me! 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... -
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... -
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... -

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...
