How’s it going? Is your Christmas knitting in full flow? I can hardly believe tomorrow is December already! If you were looking for a little podcast to watch while you knit, I have something for you. I caught up with Kate Atherley at Yarnporium and we chatted about learning and her new book, among many other things. I hope you enjoy it!
Show notes are in the EastLondonKnit Ravelry group.
Happy knitting,

Frankly, this episode is mostly bloopers, but don’t let that put you off! I also chat about my latest pattern, Iara Shawl, review some lovely yarn from John Arbon Textiles, announce an Instagram giveaway and ask what type of design you would like to see next???
I have a new pattern just in time for the last days of summer.
**Introductory offer: As ever, you can get a discount on the pattern by signing up to the EastLondonKnit newsletter. The discount is good until 23rd of September 2018.**
Nema is designed for summer. A sleeveless tee-shirt of 100% linen, Nema is perfect for the hottest weather, or as a cute top layer for those in-between seasons. With a top-down seamless construction, built-in i-cord finishing, and a chunky gauge, this tee is a quick, satisfying knit.
Nema was knit with 3 ends of Kalinka linen held together.
The dog days of summer are here! The beginning of the knitting year is just around the corner, and I am thinking about things to come… Not least of which is a trip to India in January with Knit for Peace! I chat about this and other bits and bobs in this episode.
In this little shorty episode, I chat about my new pattern: Brioche on the Beach and then mostly complain about the heat!
And because it is a new pattern, subscribers to the EastLondonKnit newsletter get a discount code for 20% off Brioche on the Beach until until 27th August 2018!
Extra bonus prize for early birds: When you purchase the pattern, you will get a discount code for Retrosaria Mondim yarn until 16th August 2018!!
Big enough to keep you warm on the beach after the sun has gone down, and light enough to fit into your carry-on luggage, this wrap is a perfect accompaniment to a week in the Azores, or anywhere you would like to curl up under a mass of beautiful, warm and squishy knitting.
For those familiar with brioche knitting, Brioche on the Beach will be a straightforward project, easily adjusted to any yarn. For beginners to brioche, the project will be more challenging, but is definitely doable! I have created a few video tutorials to provide a little extra support.
Happy knitting!

In the latest episode of the podcast I chat about my handmade wardrobe progress, a new challenge, show off some test knitting magic and there is a tutorial for a sewn bind off right at the end!
On the cusp of summer, I chat about getting my sewing mojo going by sewing my own jeans. I discuss my strategy, such as it is, for a handmade capsule wardrobe and really want to hear about yours. The main thing is that I am giving away lots of fabulousness; don’t miss out!
