One of the perks of my job is that I get an early preview of some fabulous new designs, and I’ve been excitedly waiting for the release of Gudrun Johnston’s Yokey Dokey Sweater since it first landed in my inbox at the end of April. Working with Gudrun is an absolute joy, and I have really enjoyed seeing the test knitters working on a range of beautiful colourways over on Instagram. You can browse what they have been up to with the #yokeydokeysweater hashtag.
I’m happy to share that yarn kits for the Yokey Dokey sweater, are now available in the online shop!

Is it Wednesday already? This week has flown by, and it's finally time to share with you the list of designers from all over the world, who have contributed to our new book, A Year of Techniques. To say that we are enjoying working with them all doesn't really cover it. This is a dream line up for me - these are the designers whose work I turn to when I want to cast on something new. We really hope that you will enjoy their creations as much as we do. Jim and I spent many hours on the sofa, chatting about who we wanted to work with, and how we wanted our book to be, and the time has finally come to share all our plans. We can't wait to be knitting along with you from March!
