It’s been really fun seeing folks Findhorn Wraps grow block by block, strip by strip! The design is the brainchild of the talented Emily K. Williams and is her first design for an Arnall-Culliford publication. Emily K.

Does anyone like to weave in ends? Some people must enjoy it … find it calming and meditative, a nice moment where you reflect on what your hands have created and officially finish off the project (well, until you block it).

What sort of knitting are you doing at the moment?
I’m craving a mixture of things so simple I can’t possibly go wrong (those are famous last words of course!)… as well as projects that are a little more absorbing. I’m being a knitting butterfly and flitting between projects, doing a little of what I fancy as and when.
