It’s cold outside

I’ve been out to play in the snow a little and got thoroughly bruised in the process,

but a lot of fun all the same.

Mostly though I’ve been staying warm in my nest,

playing with new toys

and slowly trying to make things both more pleasing to look at

and easier to use.

When the sun does make an appearance, my desk is the perfect place from which to enjoy it,

although the view more frequently looks like this, luckily I have plenty of knitting to be getting on with!

guest post

Introducing the first in an ongoing series of guest posts. I'm honoured that we're beginning with this vital letter from Emi Ito.

Emi has been outspoken about the cultural appropriation of the kimono in fashion and has helped many makers and designers find a less hurtful approach to naming their patterns and products.

pattern release sizing sweater

We’ve just released DK gauge versions of my popular Stockbridge and Ravelston patterns, which were originally published for a fingering weight yarn.They’re essentially designed around the same basic construction and with a similar fit, Stockbridge is a cardigan and Ravelston a pullover. My goal with both is that they’ll be staple patterns you can use to build your handknit wardrobe, the kind of basic patterns that work for lots of different looks.

Lightweight cowls

Lightweight cowls are the perfect alternative to a shawl or scarf when you want to be able to toss something on quickly and know it will stay in place. I’ve really enjoyed designing them over the last few years and now have a few options to fit different styles.
