The Kara Sweater Kit by We Are Knitters – A knitting pattern review…
Back in December, I was lucky enough to collaborate with We Are Knitters with a giveaway over on my Instagram account. As part of this collaboration, they invited me to choose one of their kits as a gifted product which I could review with no obligation to share. I’m fairly new to knitting kits having only tried one or two in the past, my most recent being The Lighthouse Sweater which I absolutely loved making and which is probably now one of my most favourite hand knitted garments. You can read my review of The Lighthouse Sweater here if you’d like to. So, after a little bit of shopping around…

The Lighthouse Sweater Kit by We Are Knitters – A Knitting Pattern Review
Way back in August, I had some birthday money to spend and, since I was at a lovely ‘in between knitting projects’ time in my life, I decided to have a browse at a We Are Knitters 30% off Sale they were holding back in the summertime. I’m not usually a knitting kit kind of girl. I usually prefer to choose a pattern and then choose my yarn according to what I fancy at the time but something about receiving everything I needed, all neatly packaged up in a pretty, recyclable, paper bag appealed to me at that time and I ended up adding not one but two knitting kits…

Sirdar 9523 Cardigan Knitting Pattern Review…
I love that stage where you’ve finished one knitting project and are then ‘allowed’ to start dreaming about and looking around for your next one. Although I’ll often have more than one sewing project on the go, I’m a strictly one project at a time girl when it comes to knitting. So, I set about searching around online and came across this ‘vintage style’ Sirdar 9523 pattern from Love Crafts. It was the lace pattern that attracted me to it initially, I do enjoy knitting a basic lace pattern and I liked the fact that this one only had lace on the two fronts so you do get a bit…

The Mode at Rowan Silver Sweater in brushed fleece – a knitting pattern review…
I picked up this Mode at Rowan Brushed Fleece knitting pattern book from John Lewis in the sale for around £2 and it sat in my file of knitting patterns for a while before I decided to actually knit anything from it. I loved the look of the Silver sweater because the cable pattern looked so good but I put off trying it for a little while for fear of it being too difficult. One day, I decided to give the pattern a go and since I knew the brushed fleece is so soft I decided to go all out and use the correct yarn for the pattern. I used…
