The year of knitting selfishly

Back in July, I made the DRK Everyday Sweater – it took me only 2 weeks to complete while enjoying (cough! enduring!) the Euro 2024 matches. I knitted it with Autumn in mind, and finally now I get to wear it! If you didn’t even see the jumper because you’re only looking at the beautiful […]

Just completed a test knit for Jennifer of Pairs Well With Knitting. And I LOVE IT! A cosy and squishy hat in broken rib, this was such an addictive and quick knit! I may have already started another one… Ax

This is my third Saturday Shrug! I loved my other two so much that I wanted to make a very dark, monochromatic version to use as one of my staple neck coverings, especially when I’m wearing other colours. Ax
