Hooray! Hay is now available as a single pattern in my Ravelry store (link in bio) I have absolutely loved seeing you guys cast on for your own Hay sweaters - @mllelittleknit is working on one at the moment and it's looking SO beautiful in blue. I'm planning on knitting another one for myself too (this time, in Shetland no 2 from @garthenor 😍) so I thought - why not do a little KAL? I will be sharing more details on Tuesday, but if you want to join in, you can download a copy of the pattern at 20% off using HAY20 until midnight BST Sun 22nd April! I am super excited to be doing my first KAL with you. I hope you are as excited to cast on as I am 💖 #haysweaterKAL

Up until recently, I kept all my WIPs in old plastic bags 🙈 As much as I admired the beauty of special project bags, they were an investment I wasn't ready to make yet. But recently, I have been investing in my tools; the things I use everyday to make my knitting experience even more enjoyable. At #edinyarnfest2018, I bought TWO project bags! And both from good friends who I have so much respect for. One from @hannaontheroad (pictured two days ago in my feed) and this one from @acollinsdesigns. Never did I realise what a difference they would make to my daily knitting - they are plush and substantial and very tactile. Wow! I think I'm hooked. I won't think twice about investing in more. If you're on the fence about getting one for yourself, I couldn't recommend these two brands more. You can see and feel the quality. And, of course, they are beautiful. You won't regret it.
My sewing mojo is well and truly back! 💃 In an effort to give my body a rest from knitting, I've been investing some time into sewing again and I'm starting to feel very excited about it. My first project was the #willowtank by @grainlinestudio (which I actually finished yesterday!) I've been meaning to make this pattern for a long time and finally picked up some white linen to test it out. I cropped this one, which I'm thrilled with, but plan to do some more mods on my next versions. I shall share more info on this with soon as well as a photo of the finished top 😊
It had been a long time since I've picked up my #fringeandfriendslogalong project, but recently, I've made a little more time for selfish making. Being laceweight, it doesn't grow very quickly, but I have to say, it does look gorgeous at this gauge! Worth taking it slow. I'm still not sure what it will become. I'm just enjoying the process right now and hope that it will tell me what it wants to be one day.
After knitting for hours and hours a day for several weeks, my poor elbows are complaining. Rather than pushing my luck and continuing to knit every day, I'm getting started on sewing my Spring/Summer wardrobe. Here are a few ideas I've sketched. If only I had the time to sew them all! First up, I am making @grainlinestudio 's #willowtank in some white linen. If the fit is good, I'll probably make a couple more before moving onto the #gallerydress by @lieslandco. Who else is getting started on spring sewing? What are you making?
