Mitten loving and another little tease of what is inside the stash giveaway!
Mitten loving and another little tease of what is inside the stash giveaway!
This month KnitBritish is a big 1 year old!
It is also almost Christmas, a time of giving presents!
To celebrate this – and the fact that for the last year I have been celebrating British wool and having great fun exploring the wealth of fibre this country has to offer, with you, dear reader….I am going to give away…..
“Aw! In the name of the Wee Man! Your thrapple is out!”
This was the cry of my wee Glasgow mammy* when I came through her door one day when the wind was blowing and the air was chilly.
I hadn’t heard the phrase before, so the first time she said it I checked to make sure I hadn’t had some dreadful wardrobe malfunction
I have been a little bit quiet. Sorry about that! Here are some excuses…
How was everyone’s Wool Week?
I have just visited randomresults.com to draw the winner of the wonderful Made By Ewe knitted sheep kit!
Shetland Wool Week is drawing to a close. For most people it’s been a week of masterclasses and workshops, schmoozing with knitting heroes, learning from the masters and catching up with friends (old and new). That is if, unlike me, you booked tickets in time.
Having played about with washable yarns recently I felt the need to get a bit sheepy and went stash-diving for a breed specific yarn.
I am suffering from two well known knitter’s ailments. I have had them separately, but they have compounded on me this time.
I’ve definitely got startitis and a bout of “I want to knit all the things!!!” I can’t help that so many beautiful patterns are catching my eye and being recently released!
