This pattern is my second published shawl, the Long Cuddle Shawl. It uses a slip stitch pattern that creates and extra dense and squishy fabric which, it turns out, is also extra warm. Absolutely perfect for cuddling into on cold days.

Because it’s so squishy, it uses 3 skeins of yarn. The sample was knit in a silk/merino combo from Mountain Colors Yarn.

My happy news of the day is finding my lost woolly hat.

I thought I'd lost it in October when we spent the night on the side of Te Waihora for the aurora. When I noticed it was missing, I'd looked for it with my torch. Turns out that in the aurora excitement I'd accidentally stuffed it down the back of my backpack where the padding is.

My mum made it when I was young. She hand spun the wool and dyed it with natural dyes and knitted it. And it has a pompom!

My favourite wool shop, Texere Yarns in Bradford, closed about 4 years ago and I still miss it. It was an old mill warehouse absolutely stuffed FULL of different types of yarn. Any suggestions for where I can get some really good quality #Aran or #Worsted weight yarn in a range of colours? #Knitting #Yarn #Uk #Woolcraft

Been busy listing stuff in my #etsy shop today. This hand carved hook is made from magnolia and has a slightly larger handle for folk who struggle with grip:
