Spring Flower Crochet Pattern
Spring is definitely in the air, and over at Knit with attitude we've been busy crocheting flowers for our Easter window display. I'm not quite sure what it is, but certain universal motifs like flowers, hearts and stars put a smile on most people's faces.

Inspiring Knits
Entering a yarn shop, approaching those walls covered in woolly loveliness, sometimes it can be hard to visually imagine how a yarn will look like knitted up as a garment.

Admiring the texture, the... -
Spring colours from WAK
I've just had a delivery from the wonderful We Are Knitters, and they are introducing new spring colours! All of them are of course available in the web shop, but as a taster I thought I should show you a few of them, so here you go: red, navy blue and honey. -
