Hands up if you’re making a blanket in a heatwave?

🙋🏻‍♀️ yep. I am. A few more rows and then it’s done, and I’m dreaming of making some cute crochet raffia summer shoes or a crop top/cami like all the Cool Kids of Knitstagram.

What are you daydreaming … https://t.co/YruXwmghpA

Too hot for this carry on, must like everyone else in my time zone 🥵

Can’t knit. Can’t sleep. Can’t lift my arms up (but for a different reason 🦖) So I’m just going to sit on the sofa with a fan pointing at me and try not to complain too much!

Who likes working with raffia?

This time last year, I put wire into the brim of my me-made raffia hat and was SO CHUFFED. Today, I’m contemplating making a bigger, floppier one. Mega sized. But I’m not sure my fingers can handle it.

Any tips for workin… https://t.co/F8i9Ez6Q98

Is it a bit hot for big knits?

Probably. But not for me, today I’m buried deep in the world of Autumn/Winter prep for an upcoming collab, and I’m so excited to be around fluffy things again. SO. EXCITED.

How many things make the cut? How many swatches do I actually do?

Not many. If any. (That’s a Kiwi rap ref and I’m sorry if that song is now stuck in your head 😂) This swatch was a rare one that I a) knitted and b) didn’t frog, and has an ombré eff… https://t.co/wiI7hFRDTe

Does anyone else miss the sunshine? ☀️

It’s wet and gloomy but I’m dreaming of warmer days. I want iced coffee and the scent of sunscreen on my skin. I want to ditch socks and trousers and float around in dresses and cotton knits. I want to stop taking… https://t.co/XjpkMzirHM

How often do you make the same thing?

Me? The last time was when I made 24 identical eye masks for a commission for London Fashion Week, and that was YEARS ago. Since then, I’ve re-made my chunky beanie a few times, but otherwise I’m firmly in team One … https://t.co/IXOxFG3LyX

Who loves a cardi? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Will be wearing big knitted cardis for the foreseeable in London (thanks, rain!) so starting with resurrecting this: the Neon Outline Cardi. Pockets, contrast seams, chunky yarn. Check check and check. Maybe I should make a blac… https://t.co/XFJ1AHtlCc

What would you knit if you had all the time in the world to do it? 🌏

Last year, I was between maternity leave and work, locked down in the pandemic, and had all the time on my hands. I had so many ideas and all the time in the world to knit things,… https://t.co/4MJY9ea3xu

How hard is finding a project to make when you’re not sure what to make?!

I’m looking through old WIPs for inspiration and completely forgot about this summery cotton tee. It was such an easy project (and travelled the world with long-haired me and much… https://t.co/2Par3VcEFI

Hands up, who is feeling a bit lost? 🙋🏻‍♀️

I mentioned the other day that I just finished a hectic month of commissions (well... still grading two patterns but I set up a spreadsheet to do all the heavy lifting on that part) and now I’m in that weird li… https://t.co/11A0j6U2Dp

First time knitting the Bubble Stitch and it’s got me wondering: how many other stitches do I know of that I haven’t knitted before?

I have my faves - the stitches I like to knit and the stitches I don’t like to knit but like the look of - so now I’m go… https://t.co/ACiWJH5Edw

I’ve been giving so many knitting tips by DM lately, I should start a knitting school!

Just kidding, but it’s made me realise how important it is to explain things really clearly and specifically. Something that is obvious to me might be really confusin… https://t.co/rN1utTRKyy

I’m going to the office tomorrow, for the first time in MONTHS. Stressing? A bit.

What do I wear? Where is my swipey fob thing? What’s in my handbag? After almost half a year of only existing on Zoom, the thought of swapping sweats for suits (well... no… https://t.co/0mZ0w1oM2d

I came home last weekend and cut my hair off.

It was so long that I could tuck it into my jeans, so heavy that I got a headache when I would wear it in a ponytail, and so thick that it took almost a day to dry properly. So, it’s gone. But my problem is,… https://t.co/ywnM7oYB4A

I have a problem 🧦

This yarn was a last-minute basket addition (to get free shipping, cos we all know spending extra to save on shipping is a wise choice😂) and it has been three WIPs so far. This is number 4. I’ve run out of yarn, and I don’t perso… https://t.co/zlyV1yIQWG

Doing my best to hide my puffy eyes today, how ‘bout you?

This week my allergy roulette has given me a case of what I’m going to call ‘Pollen-induced Pinkeye’ which is v attractive. Last year it was a 24/7 dripping nose, the year before that it was a pr… https://t.co/JHia4BzdXU

How *are* you?

One of the girls at work shared an article about “languishing” and it really resonated. Muddling through the motions, getting through the days, but not flourishing. It’s definitely how I’ve felt recently, and it means my knitting and croc… https://t.co/DyMlxXkuIj

I’ve got a love/hate relationship with Tapestry crochet.

Love: colourwork, rows of double crochet (single if you’re in the US obvs), no floats 🙌🏻

Hate: counting. Why is counting so hard? It seems that I can’t count to 3, so if I’ve had to rip back this… https://t.co/xvDm9ikm6C
