Heavily ornate colourwork designs that feature everything from the traditional to the modern, the geometric to the flowing and the graphic to the cutesy. Each design can be knit in a combination...

What George Knits - Speedy Knits for Speedy Gifts
Now that the madness of Christmas is over, I can reflect on one of my favourite Gift Knits this year. Socks! Not 4ply ones (I wasn’t that well prepared) but wonderfully quick and fun Double Knit ones. This year me and my boyfriend spent Christmas at our friends house. Being grateful guests and because it was the season of giving, they all got... -

We've got a full range of knitting and crochet classes available, from never knit before before beginners to... -

Small, light-weight and so portable you could even bring it to the beach (if you...
