Throwback to a sunny visit to Cornwall with my sister a few years ago. We had such luck with the weather and an amazing time.
I wonder if I have time to squeeze in another trip to Cornwall before baby arrives ☀️🌊🦀🐙🐚

I've been working on a special wip lately 🐣 A little bundle of joy and chaos, due to join us in August!
I wanted this to be a beautiful, curated and aesthetic post.. but growing a human is tiring and all consuming so this is what I've managed to put together ❤️
If co-ordinating a major renovation, holding down my job and pregnancy allow I'll be writing up a pattern for this little sweater soon. I'm also dreaming of a matching adult size for myself 💭
The romper is a petite knit pattern, I needed something simple where I didn't have to use my own brain, and I am pleased with how it turned out!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend, and maybe I'll also find a bit more time to say hello to all you lovely people here too!

The ivy top is still one of my favourite makes.
Those tiny little cables are a bit of a labour of love, but they make this an enjoyable and engaging knit that goes a lot faster than you might think. I am still especially proud of how the sleeve caps turned out in this design.
Check out the pattern details on the listings on my website and Ravelry 🌸

Spring is in the air, perfect for some knitted tees! I loved making all these versions of the Amelia top last year.
The black one is knit in eco cashmere, the green one in bio balance, a blend of cotton and wool and the striped one is in line, a pure linen yarn.
Each version has its own drape and feel next to the skin for all the seasons of spring!
Get the pattern on my website and ravelry 🌞🌦️🌱
Last pic is this the work on the house from this weekend!

A cheeky smirk from me this morning. I wanted to give a little update and remind you all that I'm still here! So please enjoy me modelling the Amelia Top, I think perfect for the changing seasons 🌸
I searched my camera role high and low for any knitting related content from the last few months, and to be honest there isn't any!
I've been knee deep in tape measures, managing builders and trying to hold my job down. Did however manage to fit in a cheeky week in Portugal which was total bliss ☀️
I recently swatched for a new project though so maybe I'll have something more up your alley soon!
Hope you've had a good year so far!

Hey there! I've been totally off the radar the last few months. Consumed with life including renovations on our house and as always too much work stress.
I'd love to say I've been busy knitting and working on designs in the background, but all I've managed to knit is a hat!
I'm starting to feel some creative juices coming back so hopefully I'll be picking up the needles again soon.
It's ok to take a break sometimes ❤️
All my patterns are always available, so go check them out anyway! Pictured is the Edale sweater, one of my favourite makes and has been super cosy this winter.

My year in patterns ✨
I was quite surprised to see how many patterns I managed to release in 2025 after all! Just goes to show that looking back at the year can have some positive surprises too. This is mainly because I was productive with designs in 2024 but I'm still proud of getting all of these over the line and put to you this year.
Hope you also have some positives to look back at from 2025 and are busy making exciting plans for the year ahead.
If you want to knit any of these designs for yourself they're all currently 25% off with the code 'CITY25' ✨✨

The city break scarf is out now!
I love the long full scarf version of the city break scarf a lot more than I thought I would. I came up with this version as an add onto the small necktie scarf pattern as I think even though the mini scarves are great sometimes you do need a proper scarf.
Also these tiny scarf patterns need a little few extras to make them worth it in my opinion. So this one has 4 different shape options!
Thanks as always to my sister for her modelling, this shoot was particularly cringe worthy as we got told off by the porters and I had to explain to him no I am a college member I just want to take photos of my knitwear ✨
Hope you all have a wonderful festive period 🕯️🎄✨
PS. Enter the code CITY25 for 25% off all my patterns until 2nd January!

New design for the end of 2025! The city break scarf is out now ❤️🤍🩶
If you haven't yet decided what to knit over the festive period this design will hopefully speak to you. There's no swatching and 4 different size/shape options to suit the amount of yarn you have.
The scarves are knit in DK weight, or any combination of yarns that look good on 5 mm needles.
Head to my website or ravelry to see all the details and get 25% off the new city break scarf AND all my other patterns with the code 'CITY25' until 2nd January.
Have a lovely festive period and see you on the other side!
