What George Knits - The Longfellow Cardigan
I never was into cardigans until I knit the Playdate in 2016. I love that cardigan and have worn it non stop ever since. So I think its high time that I knitted a new one. Not wanting to knit the same pattern again I came across the Longfellow by Michele Wang (Ravelry link). This simple cardigan is very similar...

Virtual Knit Night May 20th
Done, dusted and fully vaccinated! And full of hope! I had my second shot yesterday, and I am so excited to have it done with. Many of you know that I had quite a hard time with the side effects of the first dose, which basically had me floored for days. Since then I've heard all sorts of opinions on...

Virtual Knit Night May 13th
I'm in between projects, or that is, I have secured my steeks, and there is no way I'll be making the first cut without George mentally holding my hand, so that will just have to wait until over the weekend. Meaning, I'm in between. Oh the struggles, what to do? Either I continue on my unfinished projects pile and work...

Inspiration and Kits for Sea Mist Shawl by George Cullen
I am really excited to be part of Laine Issue 11. My design Sea Mist appears in the issue next to some other gorgeous designs by some talented designers. My inspiration for the shawl was from trips to the Cornish coast where me and my boyfriend have spent many holidays. We like to walk the coast path and enjoy being...

Virtual Knit Night May 6th
The body of my colourwork cardigan is done, and I'm about to do steeking for the first time. I've been debating whether or not to use a sewing machine to secure my steaks before making the first cut, but something in me didn't sit comfortable with the thought of non-stretchy cotton thread and elastic knitting, so I did a bit...

Stock take - check, Accounting - check, VAT return - check, new yarns up online - check, instagram and blog post done - check! Another week filled with screen time for me, so much that the numbers started floating in front of my eyes and I was jumping spread sheet columns in my dreams. It might be intense while happening...

Story Time - Hoddmime's Forest
In Norse mythology Ragnarok is when the humans and gods collide in conflict and despair. It is the end of the world, in fire and battle, and almost all gods and humans die. The description of the end times does not sound great, there will be a winter lasting for several years, kinsfolk and friends will be slaying each other...

This colour inspired by Norse mythology...
