It’s not something I’d expect someone watching to know but it irked me, and I’m sure every knitter in Shetland, that they kept calling it Fair Isle. Just call it stranded colour work! Enjoy your knitting!
And it wasn’t even Fair Isle!!!
And at that point my knitting pals and I, who were having a WhatsApp watch party, decided that we loved Holger.
In the time they were given to knit the horrendous tank tops they could have knit a decent hat in thinner yarn that would have demonstrated their skills.
He’s also bringing me quite a lot of points in my Velogames team so it’s win win.
Happy #RVV25 day! Not going to lie, it’s going to be hard to recreate the atmosphere of last year from my living room. Suspect we’re going to get the same winner in the men’s though! 🚴♂️#bikeracing
It’s Christmas Day!
Going to be tough for Pog to beat MVDP on his current form on his preferred terrain.
Lovely socks 🧦
Have a fab time! I’m at Euston about to board a train to Warrington and still high on yesterday’s yarn fumes!
Gorgeous. I love Marina’s work and bought more of her Fibre yesterday.
I think the TKW will go in a shawl. I’m feeling the call of a shawl after a long hiatus. Jules had a fab hat sample on her stand so that. No idea about the minis but they were the last bundle of Mascot fine minis in the world so I couldn’t leave them there!
Gorgeous! I made this last year and get so many compliments on the neckline. Really elevates it from being another colour work yoke jumper.
It was fab! Had a lovely time catching up with folks and inhaling all the yarn fumes. Went for dinner with Jules, Zakami and Black Isle and came home with these stunners.
Ooh is that a new one? Have fun too!
Thanks lovely xx
Sock knitting on the way to Unravel with a vintage project bag from London’s best LYS Wild and Woolly #knitsky #knitting
Thank you!
A beauty! Love the colour palette. What is the pattern please.
Aha! He will be wanting hand knit socks 🧦 for ever now and they have enormous feet.
Went to see A Complete Unknown last night with @alphapapa.bsky.social who, it would be fair to say has a more intense interest in Bob’s career than me but, WHAT A BRILLIANT FILM! You definitely don’t need to be a huge Dylan fan to enjoy it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Starting my Sunday with some gentle #handspinning of The Skua blend of British wool for Marina Skua’s #OutofthedarkMAL2025. The colour is called Tail Feathers and it’s a lovely spin.
Thanks! Look forward to seeing it!
Hi Shannon! I saw the lovely batt on your podcast. How are you spinning it? I’ve got a couple - not as large as yours - and not sure how to spin them as my long draw isn’t the best. Are you tearing strips off? Folags?
