The next projects I made using the new Addi Express Kingsize were a few hats. You can make a hat from casting on to wearing it in about 30 minutes from start to finish! I had a couple of balls of Sirdar Jewelspun Aran left from knitting blankets in the autumn of 2022, so I[Read More ..read more

I’ve wanted to knit a cover for our sofa in the lounge for a long time. I’ve started a couple of times, but it was going to take forever and to be honest, I wanted to make it in time for the holidays. So, after watching a few vlogs on YouTube, I invested in the[Read More ..read more

I used Schoppel Wolle Crazy Zauberball colour 1701 Parrot for these socks. The Crazy Zauberball striped socks are great fun because every sock[Read More ..read more

I’ve realised revisiting a beloved pattern and combining three disparate patterns to create a cohesive set is fun.

I created a collection of clothes for Cora and gave her a variety of outfits for different occasions. The sweater is a pretty purple with two pink stripes.

Baldric is a sweater designed by Isabell Kraemer. Baldric is a top-down construction, worked seamlessly in rounds. I used German short rows at the back to shape the neck for a more comfortable fit. However, I still find that it is a bit lower in the neckline than I like in an aran weight sweater.[Read More ..read more

A photo story of the Norwegian Star Hat Version 2. The only changes in this version are in the striping sequence, and this was due to the quantity of the yarn I had in these colours. The original post for the Norwegian Star Hat goes into detail about the pattern ..read more

One of my favourite sweaters that I’ve knit is Tegna designed by Caitlin Hunter. I also think that it is one of the most flattering sweaters that I have knit. It is definitely, my sweater of choice when I want to look great but be comfortable as well! I knit the 2XL size. This was ..read more
