You know those “quick” projects that are supposed to  keep you busy whilst you wait for the wool for your current project to arrive but then end up taking forever? Yeah, well, this was one of them! I cast this on after ordering the wool for my Majagenser thinking that I’d be half way through… Continue reading Fly With Me Vest by Paelas

When We Are Knitters released their Autumn Collection I fell in love with two items in particular. The Canal Sweater and the Ranta Scarf. I haven’t made a scarf since I put a ban on scarf making when I decided to learn how to knit “properly” at the beginning of the year but this one… Continue reading Ranta Scarf by We Are Knitters

My name is Katharina and I am a We-Are-Knittersholic.

My little girl is at the age where each each new day brings a new word. Around about the time I cast on the sleeves for my We Are Knitters Sabrina sweater, she learnt how to say “for me?” and every time I sat down to knit another row she would point at the piece… Continue reading Popcorn Sweater by Paelas

Pretty much the second after I had woven in the last end of my Classic Sweater I decided that I NEEDED another We Are Knitters kit in my life. I can’t emphasise enough how good I think these kits are for newbie knitters. The fact that you don’t need to worry about what yarn or… Continue reading Sabrina Sweater by We Are Knitters

I learnt to knit as a teenager during a summer holiday spent in Romania. My aunty is an amazing knitter and she taught me to cast on, knit, purl, increase, deacrease and cast off. This was before smartphones, YouTube and Instagram. And way before knitting became trendy That summer I knit a scarf. The following… Continue reading Classic Sweater by We Are Knitters
