I have been asked a few tim es what will I do with Knit British in 2014? Will I continue to KnitBritish?

Gift Ideas: We knits you a British Christmas

If you have a knitter in your life and you are not sure what to buy for them, or you are a knitter yourself and you want to treat yourself this Christmas then I have a few gift ideas for you. All lovely makers, sellers and artists are UK based too!

Wee heads up for ewe

Just a very quick post to tell you that Made by Ewe have a new website. You may remember Linda was over here at KnitBritish a wee while ago talking about her beautiful 100% British Wool kits.  Her new shop site is up and running and to celebrate she has something special for you! Check out her blog!

British Wool: Made by Ewe

Linda from Made by Ewe got in touch recently to tell me all about her adventures in local fibre and as soon as I saw her delightful kits I knew that I had to ask her over to KnitBritish for a little visit.

Washable British Wool: Part 1

When knitting for friends and loved ones it is often difficult to please all the people all of the time. The one thing I get asked for when knitting for others, particularly for kids, is, “can you make it in something I can put in the washing machine?”

Handmade in the UK

If it’s Tin Can Knits you know it’s going to be beautiful, stylish patterns, designed with a finger on the pulse of what knitters want to make AND wear! Add to that a collection designed entirely in British wool or by UK dyers and I feel like throwing a parade!
(and one lucky reader can win a copy!)

Woolfest swag

I think this event must hit all bases, whistles and bells for wool lovers and for me British wool was abundant.

I made my first purchase within ten minutes!
