I am thrilled to announce that I will be one of the exhibitors at Unravel … Autumn in September! I can’t wait to spend my summer leisurely building up stock and dyeing beautiful colours.
DIY advent calendars will be coming with me. Let me know - what else would you like me to bring? More pick and mix? More DK yarn? Gradient sets? I am open to suggestions 🥰🧶🍁

I am ready for Easy Peasy Scrappy Socks KAL this summer. I am planning to knit these small leftovers helically with the bigger leftover (in the middle in the second picture) and make a pair of socks. I haven’t done the maths yet - I have 20 leftovers, 186 rounds to knit, plus the heel and a toe.

It’s been a hot few days. The frogs are always in the pond, the strawberries are ripening and even the cat is laying in the shade. And of course I washed several loads of laundry and a good chunk of Lleyn fleece for spinning. 🐑 🐈‍⬛ 🐸 🍓 I am quite content with the cooler forecast for the next week.

They are done! Cast on 56 stitches, 90 rounds for the leg, heel flap and gusset, 96 rounds for the foot and then toe decreases. That’s a lot of stitches, but I am glad I made them.

Messily lovely reality of starting a half term. Half finished cuppa and diary and knitting (and a plastic plant multi-pot thingy) on top of a tortoise run. The birds are singing and it is sunny and I am tired.

Last week I started a new pair of socks. This is a sock blank I dyed ages ago, I can’t exactly remember what I was thinking of, but they are kind of Halloween-y. I am not completely in love with them, but I am going to see where this goes, dark socks are always useful 🧦

Today I finished another pair of socks for my little one. Well, I finished them two days ago, wove all the ends in, put them on top of one another to see how lovely they are and… they didn’t match. It turns out I made one foot five rows shorter than another, so I had to unpick, unravel, re-knit, re-weave the ends. It is done and I am very pleased with them.

The family of solid colours on sock minis has grown to eight shades. I will be working on more soon, but at the moment I am so happy with these … thank you if you helped me name some, I am aiming to give them simple one word names that link to the colour they are. In my head I am planning ‘Aubergine’ and ‘Spinach’, what other colours would you like to see?

When I moved to the UK, I imagined a world full of cream teas and seaside walks and garden centres. However, most of the time it’s work, mortgage and bins. But every now and then, a perfect moment arises - I took myself for lunch at the local garden centre, the coffee was nice, the birds were singing and the tulips even matched my knitting! ☕️ 🐦 🌷 🧦
