Reversible cables have caught my interest and I wanted to learn how they worked. This type of project is an ideal gift for non-knitters because there's technically no wrong side so your recipient can wear it whichever way pleases them the most.

Bojagi Shawl

Rubbish Mojitos
Annie dog in Rubbish Mojitos I've been wanting to make a Woolly Wormhead design for ages. I had some medical matters to get through which were a bit daunting. To take my mind off things a little I decided to put a hat on the needles. Hats are great as portable projects as they're typically... Continue Reading →
