Super happy with my latest weave. A Christmas (ish) runner in Colour Lab DK on my little rigid heddle. It's blocking but I've hemmed it on the machine, fingers crossed it's dry for tomorrow.

More weaving to cone next year

Cast on.
Using up 4ply yarn which should (fingers crossed) be enough for a simple top

Well here they are, my top nine posts of 2025, clearly crochet heavy which is curious as it's the thing I'm not doing so much of.

Here's to 2026 when it rumbles in

The Game of Wool has started tonight with statement jewellery and what a great solo project.

This is the only knit jewellery I've ever made, a cuff bracelet. Wire and beads on 2.5mm needles. I remember it being really fiddly which is probably why I only ever did it once.

Can't wait to see the end results on the show, particularly Simon's Viking piece.

With just about day light on a grey Sunday morning here's the cardigan I finished last night. I love it, so squishy and warm, my new favourite wear, the seams at the shoulders and sleeves create such different lines, it's a fab knit.

Yarn: Croftland in Grey and Mustard
Pattern: Kallias by Isabell Kraemer
