So, I am a bit excited and a bit nervous – I am off to Nottingham Yarn Expo on Friday. It’s the first NYE and although I’ve done several shows this year, this one I wont have my friend Deb from FindMeKnitting with me. Shows on your own can be very...

I have been working on this pattern for what feels like for ever. It is my first proper printed pattern and I have learned so much since starting it. I never knew about tech editing before, and have entered into the world of test knitting on Ravelry too. All in all I...

Look at this gorgeous cardigan made with Di Lusso yarn by one of my regular customers. She makes lots of items on Etsy and Facebook – I just love her items.

I decided to make some wrist-warmers for my Mother In Law for Christmas because she wears the all the time and hers are getting a bit tatty (hope she’s not reading this!) Anyway, I wasn’t sure which yarn to use, but decided on the gorgeous Alegria...

This is one of those times when I am SURE I had written a post about this, but can’t find it anywhere so am starting to doubt my sanity… I know that I am always doing about 10 things at once, so perhaps this slipped under the radar… Anyway, I will...

I am no longer able to stock the Tesoro chunky yarn (although I will continue to stock Tesoro Light). This is because I have found an alternative that has a much wider choice of colours and they are too similar to stock both. The new yarn is going to be called...

I am always on the look out for new and original yarns, so you can imagine my delight when I received an email from a new Finnish yarn company about their FAT yarn collection. They specialise in really big yarn, made from 100% natural materials, created mainly for...

I can’t believe that we are already into September! Where did August go? I don’t know about anyone else but I am definitely still in that Summer mood… However, in preparation of the colder months to come, this month’s giveaway is a kit to make...

Royale is my new favourite yarn. I tried it out as an experiment, having only been sent 100g as a sample by a new supplier. I knitted up a tension square and fell in love. I wound the skein and realised that the yarn is not strong and had to be careful not to pull it...

I am just sorting out my Contessa Silk DK, and I put this pretty lot together. I know that many people think of me as only selling variegated yarn, so hopefully this will change their minds… There are lots of other solid colours too but I couldn’t fit...

As Summer is coming, and a few customers have enquired about items for weddings, I thought I would create an ‘ivory’ collection in Queen Silk Lace. However, rather than just getting flat colours I thought it would be nice to use hints of other colours. I...
