Our anniversary collection – A Year Long Knit-a-Long
As we're sweeping 2020 out of the door (good riddance) we've had a chance to reflect on the year that has passed.

Virtual Knit Night December 17th
Oh you know I've been a good girl this year, monogamously, admittedly quite boringly, not necessarily enthusiastically and hence painfully slow, but yes, I've been working on all those unfinished projects I had gathered throughout the previous few years. Last knit night we saluted one of those projects, one of the greatest hurdles, to be honest it is a miracle... -
Virtual Knit Night December 10th
When we started our regular virtuals mid-March a consistent theme was what to knit next, facing world wide lockdowns and collective fear, not exactly knowing what this was all about, as crafters at least the extra time at home gave promises of activity, and we all had ambitious ideas about completing one project after the other.

Virtual Knit Night December 3rd
It is a grey heavy day and absolutely freezing in ol' London Town today, and I can't come up with any better idea than to curl up for a cozy warm knit night tonight (yes, definitely metaphorically speaking about our wonderful atmosphere here ... ). My poncho is getting close to finish and will keep my lap warm while knitting... -
I'm thinking about hats (again)
I think it must have something to do with the change of seasons and the nights drawing in. There is a chill in the air, the weather is miserable. But it's this time of year I start to think about knitting myself a new hat. Hats are fun to knit. Unlike some more ambitious projects it's a realistic expectation to...
