Before showing you my newest favourite knitted garment, I know you are dying to know who won the contest for the Tin Can Knits ebook.
We draw winners old school at Casa KnitBritish!
All posts tagged: british wool
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!
From the Edge of the World: Foula Wool
As a local and a knitter I felt I should have kicked myself for not knowing about Foula Wool – Seven lovely natural Shetland sheepy shades, springy, soft and flecked with the natural variations in colour.
Magnus and Justyna from Foula Wool kindly agreed to an interview to tell us more….
Knitting on the Threshold
This has been an exciting time for new knitting patterns from some of my favourite designers […] Since Karie Westermann began pre-sales of her first collection I had been drumming my fingers excitedly. On Monday it dropped into my Ravelry library.
Woolfest Bound!
Within mere moments of finding out I had already begun to formulate a wishlist, but more than the love of wool (if there could there *be* more!) I am really looking forward to meeting and putting real faces to the Twitter profile pictures!
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.
