Just in time for the end of winter; a snuggly 12 ply Smash the Stash knit.

My random yarn spinner selected Patons Jet, so i made the viral Ranunculus. I worked extra length in both the sleeves and body and knit with 7mm needles for a super over-sized fit. Snuggly and warm and very pink!

Have you knit this? I have some thoughts …

Looking for a Sunday cast on?
Kindling Blanket, a half-log blanket is now live on Ravelry and in my Payhip store.

This is the blanket that emptied my scrap 8ply basket using up 1550g of various yarns to produce a throw size blanket for my couch.

This is a free pattern. Don’t forget to tag me into your progress pics. ###

Blanket knitting | mindless meditation for the back to school week. I think I’ll call this one Kindling Blanket.

Don’t ask me about the ends.

Yardage chicken is a bitch. That is all.

Remnant Unicorn | stash bust for a super snuggly scarf. Knit with 8ply and 4 ply held together, this scarf is perfect for using up the Unicorn Tails and remnant nuggets of 4ply/fingering yarn languishing in your stash.

This was an addictive knit. Although the 8ply yarn dominates, the intrigue is created as you eagerly watch each new 4ply yarn transform and create magical pops of colour.

Available free on Ravelry. Pop over and favourite, queue and download. Then share your progress knits using the hashtag .

Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback for the cover photo . It was pretty unanimous!

I used to think that knitting scarves was 1: a beginner knit, 2: boring and 3: endless time-consuming knitting.

Not so anymore. I love knitting scarves. They’re quick, they’re meditative, they’re practical and you don’t need to worry about the size or even tension.

Despite the knitting world lapping up flimsy neckties, I prefer something more practical. Let’s be realistic, I’m not wearing neckwear unless it’s cold. For that reason, I prefer a snuggly, cosy scarf like this one. Even better, it used up a whack of my scrap yarn and unicorn tails as part of my smash the stash pledge.

Big thick scarves feel like a soothing cup of hot chocolate on a winter’s day. They are comfort food.

Free pattern incoming.
