  1. Time to Amble! - New Yarn from the Fibre Co.

    I'm really excited about this new sock yarn from the Fibre Co. At the beginning of the year I challenged myself to knit a pair of socks a month. So far I have done 9 and should really get going with my 10th pair! Well inspiration awaits in the form of Amble! Amble is a 4ply sock yarn blend of...

  2. Virtual Knit Night October 22nd

    It has been about 8 months, and I did the maths, we've had about 30 virtual knit nights since we started doing them. 30 evenings to be social, to laugh, to rant, to knit, to enjoy. We're meeting up from all over the world, hanging out for an hour and a bit, we might be separated physically but we've found...

  6. Virtual Knit Night October 8th

    Stranded on sleeve island, and I lost the yarn chicken game. I don't think I have enough to finish both sleeves on my Milkweed jumper, so tonight might be the night for touch decisions. To make the sleeves shorter, or to bite the bullet and buy more yarn. Do you want to help me decide? I'll be expecting you at...

  12. Time for a new project - Icelandic Lopapeysa

    The Lopapeysa originates in Iceland in early or mid-20th century, at a time when imports had displaced older and more traditional Icelandic clothing and people began to search for new ways to utilise the plentiful native wool. The design has since become a national icon for Icelandic cultural identity.
