Winter is coming … and for many of us, it’s going to look very different from years past. Some things, though, are constants for me. As we enter the coldest and darkest part of the year, I get the desire to whip up the squishiest knits I can manage for myself and those I love. And I particularly love to do that knitting in the company of friends. So I am very excited to tell you that, tomorrow, we’re launching a new ebook that really delivers on these fronts: Something to Knit Together, Winter Edition, a new capsule collection with designs by Natalie Warner!
Read moreFinding Joy in My WIPs
The November Bringing Joy KAL is getting going over on The Knitalong Hub, and I’ve been really enjoying seeing people plan joyful projects to see them through this month. I’m finding joy by practising patience and giving a deserving WIP some attention.
Read moreThe things we knit together!
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 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 moreI want to knit all the cardigans!
My Conviviality Cardigan from Something to Knit Together is well underway, and oh am I loving it. Cardigans do very heavy duty in my wardrobe, and I know I’m going to wear this one lots. And this particular cardigan has a few things going for it that make an extra pleasurable knit in my book.

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!
