Well that was fun!
Our official Something to Knit Together KAL ended a few weeks ago, and while many of us (raises hand) are still knitting along, it’s time to have a peek at what we knit together this summer!
Read moreMaz's Knitting Story
Over the summer, Jen shared an awesome Ama Sweater on Instagram that friend and customer Marian Alsbury aka Maz had knitted for her daughter. I think it’s fair to say, was a very big hit! Maz was kind enough to answer some questions for me about her incredible knitting journey, and has shared some of the stunning projects she’s made. So pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, and join us for a little chat!
Read moreAdjusting the Size of the Bonhomie Wrap
One of the things I love about my Bonhomie Wrap is its generous size … it really does feel like wrapping up in a great big woolly hug, something I know I’ll really appreciate as the weather turns cooler! But perhaps you have a perfect yarn for the pattern but not quite enough, or you just fancy something a bit smaller? If so, adjusting the size of the finished wrap is pretty straightforward!
Read moreHow do you keep track of your knitting?
I’m still happily knitting away on my Conviviality Cardigan, and it’s got me thinking about the art of pattern management. How do we keep track of our place in a pattern? And how do we manage when a pattern asks us to, gulp, do multiple thing at the same time?

Read moreA chat with Sarah Hatton
Sarah Hatton is the design whizz behind the Something to Knit Together collection. When we started our Something to Knit Together knitalong, lots of A-C Knitwear knitters went off to check how many of Sarah’s patterns were in their pattern libraries and found they had well over 100; to say Sarah is a prolific designer is a huge understatement! She has well over 1000 patterns on Ravelry, and her work has appeared in some of the most recognisable publications in the knitting biz, including the Knitter, Simply Knitting, Vogue Knitting and Knitty (and that’s just in the last year!) She was also a contributor to both A Year of Techniques and Boost Your Knitting! I’ve really enjoyed getting to hear more about her career and design process during the Something to Knit Together Zoom calls and am happy today to share a short chat with her for blog readers!
