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!

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.
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.
British Wool Under a Tenner
Last week I highlighted a few yarns of 100% UK wool which hopefully wouldn’t dent even the tightest yarn purse strings. If you have a few extra pennies to spend on your stash this month (does anyone else *try* to budget for stash?) then you might be interested in reading on.
British Wool Under a Fiver
It is true, there are some over-inflated price tags out there…but there is no reason to avoid buying British Wool even if you are on the strictest yarn diet
Off and Running
I have three items on the pins at the moment. I don’t think I have ever allowed myself that before, usually because it feels way too dis-organised – like I can’t settle on a project, but I am in love with these yarns and am in full-swing KnitBritish!
A British Wool-Along: Throwing down the gauntlet
I have mentioned before that the Woolsack group on Ravlery have a thread to discuss ideas for your own projects knit with British wool. I was late catching onto the group and if you a not familiar with Woolsack I highly recommend that you have a browse of the website.
Wrapped in wirsit
With knitting though I feel I am always learning and I love to challenge myself. I know I am not the greatest knitter in the world. I know I will never create masterpiece designs, but I truly get satisfaction from what I create. Maybe because I managed to knit with two colours at once (that was a big deal), maybe because I ripped that shawl back ten times before I got it right. A lot of the satisfaction of the thing is how you got to the finished object, isn’t it?
