Scratching the Knitting Itch

It’s official – you can now buy Knitsch Yarns online!

*squeeeeeeeeee* Pretty gosh darn exciting.

Go on, have a nosy. And let us know if there is anything you love or loathe about the site – feedback is most welcome.

In the tradition of lazywebs, I’m calling out for stupendous blogs in order to create a blogroll.

Is there an awesome knitty blog you read? One that tickles your funny bone, teaches you techniques, or is addictive like a so-bad-it’s-good soap opera?

Go on, post it in the comments. Feel free to add your own – i’d love to read it!

Loads of people asked us at Craft2.0 on Saturday ‘Where can I find a good sock pattern?’.

Well, here is the link to your new favourite socks: Cookie A’s Monkey.

I’ve knitted two pairs: one in Hazelknits High ocTANG (I gave these away) and a second pair, all for me, in green Wollemeise.

It really is a wonderful pattern – in fact, I think it’s time to cast on another pair. Even if you haven’t knitted a pair of socks before, these have a wonderful rhythm and a great base pattern. 64 is the magic sock number – it’s perfectly versatile.

Do you have a favourite sock pattern? What is it? Please share or else i’ll end up with a drawer full of monkeys!
