Learning how to knit a true moebius is great fun & opens up lots of possibilities.

I am running a moebius knitting workshop at @northwestwinterwoolfestival in Blackpool on Sun 15th Feb, 1-3.30pm. Tickets for the workshop are £36 including handouts, yarn & needles.

Contact me to book your place!

Throwback Thursday and we loved all the flowers that were made for our Worldwide Creative Project in 2024 in support of Martin House Children's Hospice. This smiling face says it all.

Watching the weather and gathering projects to knit for the next 2 weeks. Real arctic cold will be in my neighborhood.
Knitting mittens to match my Faroe Broken Root socks. Pondering if folks might like a mitten class. The next 2 Sundays are clear. Anyone?
