Truly Myrtle

Wow!!! Sydney you blew my mind!! I had such a wonderful time!

If you're in Sydney you'll have to check out Skein Sisters - the shop is contemporary, a delight to explore and full of amazing yarn that you'll simply have to squish! And the people? wonderful :)

NEW PATTERN RELEASES!

Did you see my Skein Sisters shawl released last weekend? It's my favourite so far and I've had lots of reports from people saying how much fun it is to knit. I'm thrilled!

I've got another pretty shawl for you this week too. Cloud Kisses has been in the pipeline for a while and I'm chuffed that it's finally finished and ready to share with you! I know lots of you have been waiting for this one! Grab it this weekend with a discount - use the code KISSKISS to receive a 20% discount all weekend. The offer ends midnight, Sunday 27th May 2017.

A DOWN UNDER DINNER CHAT!

This week on the podcast I'm excited to bring you a special dinner episode. I sat down to a delicious meal in Sydney with Clare Devine from Knit Share Love and Hannah Ginn from Circus Tonic Handmade and we chatted and chatted and chatted! about yarn, designing, dyeing yarn, the yarn scene down under and so much more ... and we recorded our conversation so you could join us!! I think you'll feel like you were right there at the table too :)

You can find Clare and her beautiful knitting patterns at Knit Share Love - we talk about her first garment design!! Do check it out. Kimmeridge is a scrummy aran-weight cardigan with a relaxed body and tailored fit that's perfect for cooler days and chilly nights. I really fancy one myself :) Clare has a discount on her pattern all weekend - use the code love20 for a 20% discount!

This is also Clare's 100th pattern!! And, to celebrate she's running an AMAZING giveaway - head over to her Ravelry group to enter!

Hannah is the very talented dyer behind the gorgeous brand Circus Tonic Handmade Yarn. My Skein Sisters shawl used Hannah's delicious merino singles and oh my goodness how the colours made my heart sing!! If you haven't tried Circus Tonic yet, do! I got to hear about lots of Hannah's exciting plans for her yarn ... definitely keep an eye on her. Brilliant things are afoot :)
