Virtual Knit Night August 27th
Community has always been at the very chore of what we do here at Knit with attitude. When planning for and developing our upcoming anniversary book we set our goals, one of them being to bring Knit with attitude into people's homes, to gift a piece of us and our surroundings, no matter where the reader happened to be in... -
Time for a New Project - Pianta Hat by Lavanya Patricella
It's starting to feel a little Autumnal here in London. As I gaze out of the window grey clouds hang overhead and spots of rain appear now and again. The height of summer with its 30°C+ heat is slowly fading away. This is a glorious time to be a knitter as we can start to fantasise about all the woolly... -
Virtual Knit Night August 20th
How did this happen, how did I go from being monogamous to having four projects on the go? I'm currently doing a test knit for a dear friend of mine, which involves lace too complicated to work on at tonight's knit night, so I might just finish a sleeve on another project instead. Hope to see you there! The details... -
What George Knits - Active Duty Sweater by Maxim Cyr
A while back Maxim Cyr posted a call for test knitters on his instagram (@maxtheknitter) for the most amazing looking colour work jumper. Camouflage colourwork!

What yarns are suitable for Babies?
One of the more frequently asked questions I get is 'What yarns are suitable for knitting or crocheting for a baby?'. Well this question can be somewhat of an open ended one, with most of the yarns in the shop suitable in one form or another. But there are a number of things you can bear in mind when choosing a yarn to knit for the littlest member of the family. -
Virtual Knit Night August 13th
After our one week break, due to me going on holiday, we are ready to gather again, needles and laughter included!

I've started a new project which involves a woolly singles yarn, and every time I tried... -

Test Knit Open - Knitting With Attitude
It has been more than a year since George and I started working on the Knit with attitude's 10 year anniversary book. I can't describe the feeling when all our designers came back to us with their samples, and the joy and enthusiasm we had when announcing the upcoming book last autumn. Everything seemed to come together beautifully, what a... -

Virtual Knit Night July 23rd
We launched our Summer KAL – KWA does Milkweed last week, I'm barely able to put my knitting down. The feel of the two threads twisting together around my fingers, the linen and the silk, the lush smooth and crisp fabric it makes, let me tell you, this project is such a pleasurable tactile experience and I can't wait to...
