Holiday knitting. My fav kind of knitting.
Do you also pack knitting before you pack your clothes?

Yesterday I finally got to visit my friends shop Originals Stellenbosch | a delightful yarn shop in Stelllenbosch. What a delight to shop in a yarn shop with natural fibres and see some yarns I’ve not seen before! And the joy of squishing my friend, whilst wearing my new mix tape tee. Thank you Rita for taking time out of your day to meet up in this cute shop of yours ♥️

Want to pick up knitting needles again but feel slightly terrified? Need to brush up on some skills, understand those abbreviations in that pattern you like, learn to find appropriate yarn, and pattern, how to gauge swatch and why you should learn it, icord - what’s that? A long tail cast on? What on earth?!!!

Level up knitting - for beginners, rusty knitters, or those who like company…

For those who’d like to reach level ten we can also do some colour work.

Please book online and pay - R200 back for shopping spree on the day!

How do I do an icord, what is a long tail cast on, how do I make one right or make one left, what is a lifted increase, what is a ssk, what is colour work, how do I measure gauge…

Sock washing day with Nourish Natural Soaps
My spice bar with sandalwood and orange will get these socks smelling lovely. Natural ingredients gentle on my woollie knits. Simply grate a little and create a sudsy warm bath. Soak a little then two rinses. No harsh ingredients nor chemicals.
And a pile of fresh, clean socks ready to dry 🩵

For me.

Mix Tape Tee blocking
Disclaimer : I accidentally missed the second increase and decrease in the front stripes. I just did the front exactly like the back, but it still fits by the neck okay!

Just finished a folded hat in Mudita. An alpaca/merino blend by Quenti Alpaca - a dk, knit up in 4mm, used HiyaHiya flyers for the crown decreases. Such a glorious yarn - my new fav.
