Here's 3 mins of escape, which I'm sure many of us could use. This gorgeously made short film from Uist Wool always reminds me of the many, wider reasons I love working with such a wonderful material.

Super excited to start with these Novita yarns! Still looking for a scarf pattern... Luscious wine colour. Bought recently together with Lettlopi yarn at knitting fair in Nijkerk in the Netherlands. #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

Onto the sleeves with this WIP for my daughter. Knitted in Icelandic Lettlopi yarn - it's going to be so warm esp as yoke is with 3 strands! Pattern: saskie.co/nocturnal/

9 mins of film from 1964 on Shetland shawl knitters, courtesy of the BBC Archives. Absolute works of art! And I don't think I've ever seen anyone knit so fast!
Apologies if this is only available in the UK. #knitsky #knitting 🧶

Shetland shawl knitters, 1964
With less than half a dozen spinners of the material left, and perhaps as few as a dozen women capable of knitting the garments, they're probably only going to get more valuable.

I don't think I've ever knitted with yellow 🙀, apart from just last week when I made this lace sample in pale lemon! Not yet blocked. I must have known! #showmeyourknits 🧶

For #WIPWednesday here's an update on my Clematis scarf - it's sprouted some leaves and a flower!

Me: Percy, you're lying on my silk mohair knitting.
Percy: What?! You expect me to know the difference with DK?

#showmeyourknits this week reminded me of this little cowl I made for my daughter about 8 yrs ago in some handspun yarn I bought at a spinning demonstration near Faversham in Kent. 🧶 #knitsky

Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright.

Speaking the UK's creators: "Their property, their labour, is worthy of your protection - because apart from anything else, it is not ours to give away."

For #showmeyourknits the first cardi I knitted for my daughter (age 3 mths), in Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino - so soft! I found the buttons in an old jar at my Mum's.

I visited the beautiful @wolverhalen.bsky.social store in the Netherlands on Sat. Gorgeous yarns, many dyed by the friendly owner - sadly those will be for another time as I was after these CaMaRose beauties. Snefnug (can't stop saying it!) apparently means snowflake in English. #knitting #knitsky

For #showmeyourknits this week, a very wearable cardi in DROPS Lima DK. Knitted seamlessly, top down it was a lovely knit too. Pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
