Virtual Knit Night October 12th
Both the real world and our knitting world is in a turmoil these days, and if you are feeling confused, stressed and just completely 'out of it', you are definitely not alone. We need to create space to breathe and gather ourselves, and we need to openly communicate with each other. I am so looking forward to our knit night... -
A Deep Dive into Stranded Colourwork
It is probably the Northener in me, or more accurate, me being a Norwegian that makes me crave woolly jumpers as soon as autumn is here – but not any woolly jumper – oh no, I'm talking about proper thick proper wool proper bashing around in the snow jumpers! Now admittedly it's been years since I was bashing around in...

Yarn Pairings - Observations: Knits and Essays from the Forest

New Yarn - Woven Beyond
I can not even begin to tell you how many requests I receive every day from yarn mass producers wanting to present their range to me.

New Yarn - Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk Forgarn
Light and airy, delicate but hardwearing, squishy and fun to knit, this intriguing yarn from Hillesvåg has arrived and I'm in love. These giant round 'cakes' of yarn are Forgarn from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. A 'pre-yarn' which means it has been carded (combed) but no twist has been added like with more traditional yarns. This creates a delicate strand of unspun...
