Counter Yarn Bomb
A while ago, or to be honest it must have been around last Christmas, I kept posting pictures like this on my facebook wall, boldly stating that no-one would be able to guess what we were planning to use these squares for. I didn't think it would take me months and months to get to the revelation of it. The... -
DIY Love - Pinterest Round Up
We're going to a viewing today, my husband and I, although I wont get my hopes up too high it seems perfect, three bedrooms and a garden. We've been looking for more than a year now, but as the rent in London is reaching it's all time high, it seems like it is impossible to afford what we need. BUT... -
News from Purl Alpaca Designs
The high season of knitting is finally here, and what better way to celebrate than to fill up our stock with lovely, delicate and luxurious knitting kits from Purl Alpaca Designs? Each of Purl Alpaca Designs' kits includes the pattern, yarn, a postcard biography and image of the alpaca the design is named after. Purl’s 100% pure alpaca yarn is... -
It's give away time
Occasionally I keep give aways, and right now there is one happening over at Knit with attitude's facebook page. So if you'd like to get your hands on a goody bag of knitting and/or crochet books, head over and have a look, but be quick the give away ends this Saturday. -
He just wont stand still
Little One's Pickles' Easy-Peasy-Sweater is done. The pattern pay justice to it's name, this is a very simple and straight forward project. I did follow the pattern sizes 3-4 years, and my gauge was spot on, but I didn't measure the boy himself and although he turns five next week the sweater still turned out a bit on the large... -
Pure bliss
Ah pure bliss! No, I'm not talking about my summer crocheting but the fact that I finally had time to give myself a long time sought after manicure last night! -
Cool down - Pinterest round up
Seriously, I'm melting! I can't eat, sleep, walk or think, I'm absolutely transformed into an amoeba because of the heat. I'm not complaining though, after all we waited for a long time for this year's summer to appear. Being useless at most these days, there is one thing I can do: having lots and lots of ice cream and cool... -
A Hank of Art
Oh what a wonderful sunny week we've had in London, and it was in due time, the winter seemed to be going on forever. At Knit with attitude we have monthly knit nights, the second Thursday of every month, and this week we decided to move outside. After having spent the whole day at work inside, it was absolutely lovely... -
Maya's Pouf
Whoa, that was a quick one! My pouf is finished and it took me about two evenings to complete it, and I have to say I'm absolutely in love with this Jersey be Good yarn...eh...strips...eh...stuff. I'm pretty pleased with my just-start-and-see-what-happens design as well. The pouf that I have made, in addition to being a cool and comfortable accessory for... -
Hoopla Hey!
Rarely do I get as excited as I am about this new yarn. Hooplayarn has been on my shop wish list for a long time, and finally I have them in stock. The definition of upcycling is 'the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or a higher environmental value'. Hooplayarn...

Pinterest round up - crafty DIY favourites
I absolutely love Pinterest. People use it in all different kinds of ways, I mainly use it as a visual to do list and to collect beautiful pictures of beautiful stuff. The only problem is that my to do list is forever growing and I can't seem to find the time to actually do those lovely projects, but collect them... -
Mikono Knits at Knit with attitude
I first learned about Mikono Knits quite a few years ago. Back in Norway I was watching the News and there was this short story about a Norwegian woman, Frøydis Dybdahl Archer, who had initiated a project in Kenya teaching the skill of knitting and enabeling women to sell their garments, providing safe income for themselves and their families. At...
