A diary for all my knitting and making
The Joy of Sock Knitting!
Have you ever wanted to knit something small, portable, and endlessly customisable but perfectly fitting? That’s exactly why I fell in love with sock knitting - even if it took me 10 years or so. There’s something magical about turning just a simple skein of yarn into a perfectly fitted, cozy pair of socks. If you’ve never tried knitting socks before, let me share why you really should give it a go—and a few tips to help you get started.
Cover Girl
Speaking of socks! It’s not just this year when I’m drawn to socks, because I have the honour of being one of the cover designers on the upcoming Laine Magazine. If you look closely you can see my Blue Hour socks there!
Wild Air Sweater
To start a new year, 2025, in a happy way, let me introduce you to my first pattern release of the year: Wild Air Sweater!
Inner Peace
The last pattern this year is my Inner Peace Sweater, a lovely little layering piece that will go perfectly for any style, any season and works in so many different yarn bases.
Mellow Shawl
Hello December! I’m late to the party! To start crossing things off from my to-do list of the year 24, I am today sharing the Mellow Shawl with everyone. If you are looking for a relaxing shawl to knit during all that sometimes stressful holiday prep, this is a good one!
That hiking sweater
This post is the tale of that hiking sweater I was knitting in August, when I was getting ready for my first ever hiking and backpacking trip in Iceland. This post is also a bit about my new design Orgeat Sweater (aka the hiking sweater).
Milkshake Scarf
Milkshake Scarf features garter stitch, i-cord edging and super simple intarsia. Perfect little in-between knit while you think about the next big sweater project of yours.
Sweater Weather Pattern Sale
To celebrate my favourite season, there’s now a little sale happening over here on my site: The Sweater Weather Pattern Sale!
Sticky Toffee
That dreamy autumn weather is here, with golden leaves all around us and frosty mornings that make us reach for an extra squishy and warm layer! This is the weather I'm dreaming about right now!
