Strike a pose! Tips for modelling your knits

Truly Myrtle ·

2021/08/09

It's that time of the year when we're wearing many hand knits and so, a great time to document your finished projects. I know. Truly I do. I'm not keen on being in front of the camera either. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect I'd be in so many photos – but that's how it goes, and like it or not, there I am. That said, modelled shots of your knits are great, and I'd love to see you in more photos because it's so helpful for everyone to see you modelling them.

Neckline Modifications - Beginning with Gingerbread

Truly Myrtle ·

2021/06/29

As the weather cools and we don our cosy sweaters, there’s always one or two in our wardrobe that we regularly reach for longingly. It may be because they’re warm as toast, soft as butter, or perhaps it’s because they’re super cute, and we love to feel fabulous in our woolly layers. But what happens when you love everything about a sweater, but you get a cold neck? What can you do?

Knitting-Along

Truly Myrtle ·

2021/06/15

Have you ever taken part in a knitalong (KAL)? I thoroughly recommend it. There's something special about taking our usually solitary craft and making it communal. Not the actual knitting part - but the working together, sharing the journey part.

Set yourself up for success - Grab the Swatching...

Truly Myrtle ·

2021/06/08

When we’re excited about a pattern and gorgeous yarn, knitting a swatch can feel like a chore that wastes precious yarn and knitting time. However, ironically the opposite can be true. Swatching sets you off on the right foot, and if you’ve got your swatches sorted, you’ll cast on with confidence, make fewer mistakes, rip back less often and finish faster. Excitingly, I’ve got a bunch of great swatching resources for you: a cheat sheet, articles to read, and a video to get you up to swatching

yarn buying for knitters

Truly Myrtle ·

2021/05/26

Wool festivals are fabulously good fun. I've been known to stuff my bag with all sorts of goodies at yarn shows. But that isn't always the case. Sometimes I stand eyes wide at the choices, bamboozled about where to start and leave full of plans to buy up large online later, when I can think straight. I've been thinking about it and suspect the difference in my polar approaches to yarn festivals might be in the planning – or lack thereof. It might also be the moon and other invisible forces

Knit this Way

Truly Myrtle ·

2021/05/13

There are millions of knitters in this world, and I'd put money on it, that they all knit differently. We know about English-style and continental-style knitting, left-handed knitting, knitting belts, straight needles, circular needles, and the myriad of ways to tension yarn - and there are doubtless more ways I've forgotten. Oh, I just remembered Portuguese knitting. But, even in these broader knitting styles and methods, there seem to be endless variations on how we position our needles,

No more needle muddles - Grab the cheat sheet!

Truly Myrtle ·

2020/08/27

If you’re anything like me, your brain is so full of “important information” that little things like; how many yards there usually are in a bulky skein of yarn, where you put your car keys, or what a size US 8 needle translates to in millimetres, just don’t seem to be the kind of things that are easy to remember … Excitingly, I’ve got a solution for you. Well, for the needle sizes anyway … my tip for car keys is to always put them in the same place, but that’s a bit sketchy, cos life isn’t

Pom-Poms! Perfect for your hat?

Truly Myrtle ·

2020/08/20

Some of us are pom-pom people, and some of us are also pom-pom people. Seriously though, who doesn’t love a pom-pom? So cute, so fun and so brilliant at adding the final touch of pizzazz to your hat. If you’ve been dreaming of pom-poms or haven’t made one for a while, you might be pleased to know that pom-poms suit lots of hats, and they’re simple to make and attach.

Process or Project Knitter - which one are you?

Truly Myrtle ·

2020/08/13

I've been getting stuck into a pile of knitting projects lately. Knitting like the wind to meet deadlines. In the haze of that kind of knitting, there's plenty of time to think and I find myself wondering about the odd juxtaposition I find myself in. Am I still "relaxing with my hobby" when I'm flying through stitches to get something finished urgently?

Keeping Your Patterns Safe - tips for storing PDF...

Truly Myrtle ·

2020/08/06

There’s nothing worse than looking for a knitting pattern you’re excited to finally knit, and finding … that you can’t find it! Perhaps it’s hiding in some secret place on your computer? Maybe it’s stored on a website that’s currently down, or not around anymore? There’s a chance you might find a printed copy, but it’s torn, stained, and covered in indistinguishable markings from the last time you made it. Storing our PDF patterns securely, where we can find them quickly and easily, is one of

I'm knitting a bunch of things at the moment and a one of them has had me up and down with doubts and seems to be taking an age to get finished ... it turns out, I've hit one of those predictable bumps in the knitting road. Do you know them?

Veela Shawl - adjusting the size

Truly Myrtle ·

2020/07/22

Some days, only fine lace will do. On those days, when your soul feels tender and you’re quieter than usual, Veela is the shawl you’ll reach for. Knitted from side to side in fine lace-weight yarn, Veela is a soft, elegant, stole that’ll almost knit herself. She’s irresistible to knit, and as the twists and turns in her lace are unveiled, you’ll be tempted to just knit another row, and another ... and another. Veela requires approx. 1093 yds/1000 m of lace-weight yarn but not all 100g
