		<title>You can help make my book more useful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things I&#8217;m really trying to focus on with this new book is helping you to get a good fit, whatever your size and shape. Obviously, I&#8217;ll still be basing the patterns on a set of standard measurements that probably don&#8217;t really fit anyone perfectly, but I&#8217;d like those measurements to be a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Morningside Maker&#8217;s Market</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re in Edinburgh and looking for something to do this weekend this is where I&#8217;ll be going on Saturday, the monthly Morningside Maker&#8217;s Market. I went for the first time last month and found lots of lovely sellers to chat to and, of course, buy from.

		<title>Trial and error</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Frequently I end up having to re-work something because I failed to fully think it through beforehand. That&#8217;s exactly what happened on the cuff of the cardigan I showed you a few days ago. My plan was to incorporate the motif of two leaves from the left front into the ribbing on the cuffs. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I&#8217;m working on</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s always tricky trying to figure out how much of my work to share here before it&#8217;s done. I don&#8217;t share the opinion of my many publishers that everything needs to be shrouded in secrecy to avoid spoiling the suprise of the big reveal. Personally I think it&#8217;s pretty interesting to see a project build [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;m very into the holiday, but there was a pile of felt sitting temptingly on my desk and I find it hard to pass up any excuse for either crafting or dress up.
 
Instructions for the rose can be found on the Purl Bee  and here&#8217;s how I made the other.

		<title>Sarah&#8217;s Year of Sweaters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New Year seems like a while ago now, but on the 1st of January I had a look back through my previous year&#8217;s knitting and decided that I hadn&#8217;t knit nearly enough actual garments.  I have almost a whole cupboard full of hats and mittens but not much to keep the rest of me warm.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vine Yoke for me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
This has actually been finished for a couple of months and although I wear it constantly photographic evidence has remained elusive. 

You might remember that I visited the wonderful (and adorable &#8211; check out her new Audrey in Unst cardigan) Gudrun in October before Rhinebeck. In the run up to my trip I was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thank you</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For helping to raise a grand total of £15,397.58 (about US $24500) for Médecins Sans Frontières for their terribly challenging work in Haiti. I&#8217;m incredibly overawed and humbled by the response to this campaign, thank you.

		<title>Stitch by stitch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of days ago, inspired by some other designers on Ravelry, I pledged to donate 50% of my sales to Médecins Sans Frontières to help with their work in Haiti. When I did that I thought that I was donating 50% of my usual income and felt incredibly fortunate to be in a position [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sewing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My studio&#8217;s still a bit of a mess, but I finally have something that I&#8217;ve dreamed of since I was about 8 (I fell in love with sewing long before knitting) &#8211; a space to sew that doesn&#8217;t require any setup. A couple on nights ago I threw together a cover for my chair&#8217;s cushion, [...]]]></description>
