Bright trails of light and fire, with colours interweaving with each other as they travel. In the same way that stories may carry from one campfire to the next.

At the bottom of the image is a curl of knitted fabric still on the needles showing the same doubled slip stitches in reddy oranges and gold.

Some new minis! I don't often do brights, but this one felt like it was very much needed. I wanted to add some brightness to the dreary wet weather, so I came up with something almost completely opposite of it. 🌦️

Introducing Household Magic, a self striping gradient inspired by succulents! Like tiny plants on a windowsill, this colourway reminds us of those everyday touches that turn a space into somewhere warm, cozy, and completely your own. This little bit of home-grown magic is coming to Yarndale! 🧶🌱

More plant fibre making their way to Yarndale and possible Glasgow School of Yarn. Down by the Water and Kingfisher on Bamboo, Tencel and a trial base Cupro Sock (80% Cupro 20% Nylon). What do you like to make with Plant Fibre yarns?

So here's the thing, it might be @yarndale in a couple of days or it might be the changes in the weather, but for some reason every year about this time I try and do some delusional knitting. This year's delusion centres around the gorgeous Stargazer Vest by Tania Barley😍, converted for machine

My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.

Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

I got a bit carried away with the series, so I couldn't help myself but dye a "machineries of yarn."⚙️ The Machineries of Yarn will be at Yarndale, so come visit the stand L23-24 and talk to me about books! What kind of books would you want to see out the end of the year with?

I've been juggling yarn show prep with writing and house stuff, so it feels pretty nice to be taking some time to knit a little each evening again. Even if it technically is work knitting.... I'm even doing the thing you should do with hand dyed yarn and alternating ma balls!

Who doesn't love a nice smooth i-cord edge? Small scarflettes are pretty popular for stash busting or playing around with colour, so I figured I'd have a go! I'm working on more patterns again, so with hope you'll get a few new ones before the end of the year. 💫 The minis will be at Yarndale!

City Without A Map draws from Blackfish City, echoing the thread of human connection & acknowledging that a place can mean so many things to so many different people. In a place rife with corruption, class strife & astounding technology at the end of a world, each person is a world in themselves.🧭

The 3rd and final Lady & Lord Riven novella arrives in less than 8 weeks...so, this week's Saturday snippet comes from the first in the series, A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience, which the New York Times called "a charmingly subversive treat.” ❤️🦇❤️ books2read.com/undeadInconvenience #romancelandia

The cover of A Marriage of Undead Inconvenience is surrounded by a snippet that reads:
“I am not suffering from dementia, Miss Dunhaven.” Red swept in a sudden, sheening wave across the vampire’s brown eyes, making Margaret suck in a breath, as he sliced out his words with a lethal edge. “You gravely misunderstand me if you think me de-fanged.”

“And you mis-name me, my lord.” Her hand tightened around the handle of her teacup. “As I believe you are fully aware, my name is ‘Lady Riven’ now.”

Lord Riven’s red-sheened eyes narrowed.

She bared a ferocious smile in response.

Inspired by Hannah Kaner's newest novel and with her admiring approval, here is a colourway to capture the rich darkness of A Snake Among Swans - a grimdark fantasy retelling of the Wild Swans by Hans Christian Andersen that weaves fantasy, folklore & history into a tale of feminine rage & revenge.

On a dark brown wooden background, sits a set of three skeins in a dark blue and plum colourway shot through with gold green and violet, echoing the colours of the hardback book in the centre of the picture. The Books Cover features a gold palace encircled by large snake like bodies in greens and plum, with a dark blue background highlighting the text "A Snake Among Swans. The No.1 Sunday Times Bestseller Hannah Kaner", there is a sticker on the book detailing that it is a "Signed Exlusive Edition". The book is partially encircled by an open skein of the colourway showing off the colours better.
