Thinking about learning to knit?
Back when I was first learning to knit I was overwhelmed by the number of websites and resources I found when googling the term. Knowing where to start is often the hardest part. I mean, there’s knit and purl…but once you’ve got that down, where do you go from there?!

I have been knitting for five years…
I can’t believe where the last five years have gone. It feels like just yesterday that my friend Claire and I tentatively picked up a pair of knitting needles.

Quince & Co. Scarborough Shrug
This is one of my most favourite knitting patterns that I’ve ever had the pleasure to knit. Simple and effective sequences of yarn overs and dropped stitches create the beautiful lace knit pattern that makes up the Scarborough Shrug by Quince & Co. The end result has been better than I could have ever imagined (having never tackled lace knitting before I was worried about the consistency of my stitches and heaven-forbid dropping a stitch somewhere).

Ravelry Faves – the shawl edit
Just a quick one from me this Friday. And with a whole free weekend ahead of me with absolutely no plans but to read and knit to my heart’s content, I’ve been thinking on which patterns I could pick up the stitches to next! My Ravelry favourites contain not too few shawl patterns at the moment, and I’ve yet to make anything bigger than a scarf to wrap around my shoulders. So here’s a selection of shawls and wraps that I’m mulling over for this weekend. Which do you think I should go for?

Hessian weave baby blanket | A knitting pattern
Say hello to my latest knitting pattern Hessian. So called for the repeating slipped stitch pattern used, which creates a similar texture and weave to a hessian or burlap fabric. This super soft baby blanket knitting pattern is quick to knit, and features a non-rolling edge stitch for a very neat finish. It’s available to purchase on Ravelry and LoveKnitting right now.
