Tin Can Knitting
This is Lush, by Emily Wessel of Tin Can Knits and it is an early pattern release from her upcoming book Handmade in the UK
I knew as soon as I saw it that I wanted one for myself, but how nice to knit a mini version as a practice?!

Halo Cushion
I finished 3 WIPs this weekend. Three! *does dance*
Two of these are for the imminent arrival of a friend’s baby and this one was in real danger of becoming an UFO.
Odds & Ends
My projects for KnitBritish do appear slow in coming, if the blog is anything to go by!
I assure you I am not just buying British wool, but I am working with it too!
Drinking it in
I have been drinking in the full prettiness of my Edinburgh Yarn Festival booty today. After the event I placed everything in my hand-luggage (cos if that plane was going down, I was going down clutching that yarn!) and I have only begun to really play with it all today.
Three Bags Full!
Saturday morning was dull and drizzly, but spirits were never less damp in that queue outside of the Out of the Blue Drill Hall off Leith Walk. I might also add that never was I quite so happy to queue in the drizzle!
Baa Baa Book Sheep
Just before Christmas I was thinking that maybe I needed a little mascot to cheer me through my KnitBritish projects. As if by magic, the next day I got my wish.
Works in Progress
When I decided I was going to undertake this project I knew I would need a special kind of book to keep within samples of the lovely yarns I was soon to discover.
things there to be noticed
The colours today were just phenomenal. I love Shetland on a day like today. I feel like days like this are only shown in a certain light so that we notice things around us and appreciate them more.
