Floats running wild in your colourwork projects? 😅 Let’s tame them #knitsky!

Steps to trap left-hand float:
1. Insert the right needle into the next stitch.
2. Life left-hand yarn over tip.
3. Knit yarn from the right hand, holding the left-hand yarn above.

#Knitsky, now it’s December’s, I’m reflecting back on my year…what’s been your favourite project you’ve knit in 2025?

For me, it’s my Scealla cardigan as I love the two knitting directions combined with some lovely cables. OH, or maybe the brioche sweater, Meabh! I’m terrible at picking favourites.

When you first look at a cable chart… it can feel like you’re trying to decode ancient runes. 😅 #knitsky 

Quick tips to make it easier:  
- Highlight symbols 
- Use a chart holder or app 
- Swatch first 
- Watch for sneaky increases/decreases.

What advice would you give your younger knitting self, #knitsky? 🤔 

Maybe you’d say,
“Don’t fear frogging, it’s part of the process!”
OR
“Buy the good yarn, you’re worth it.”

#Knitsky, I loved this clip from my chat with Vawn Corrigan, her words really resonated with me, especially with our 2026 Celtic Knits Club theme, ‘Aran Evolution’.

Do you listen to knitting podcasts, #Knitsky? 🎧 

I love having something on in the background while I knit, but I’m always looking for new recommendations. 

What are your favourites? Any must-listens I should check out?

I popped into the studio this morning for a WIP and spotted my Yew Mor Sweater… and had a thought! (These usually get me in trouble, so I’m asking you first, #knitsky)  

What if I designed another circular yoke pattern for it?

Every so often, a yarn just makes you stop and squish!😍

Novento is that yarn, super chunky, artisan hand-dyed, and luxuriously soft.

I've been eyeing it for a quick Floop Hat… because who doesn’t love a project you can finish in a weekend?

Here’s a quick tip for counting the rows between cables when you lose track! I find a double-pointed needle works great for this.

How do you keep track, #knitsky? #tiptuesday

Hello #Knitsky!

I wanted to share a few photos from my trip with Knitting Tours to the Barcelona Knit Festival.

Guess how many skeins of yarn I smuggled home? 😏

#Knitsky, I’ve been swatching with our club-exclusive Solas colourways for the first Celtic Knits Club patterns with the theme ‘Aran Evolution’ in mind. 

Any suggestions on how the theme could inspire me?

#Knitsky, while we'll be exploring Aran knitting traditions with our 2026 Celtic Knits Club… a couple years ago I dove into Geansaí Chléire! 

I filmed a Vlog on Cape Clear full of history, and fascinating interviews.

I’ve been admiring our Suri DK Cloud, it’s outrageously soft!

Laura thought it would be perfect with my Dolmite Sweater, which features a funnel neck, so she put together a few kits for the ultimate comfort knitting project.
