Welcome

I decided while I was busy building my new website that I would also start a blog.


This wont have regular posts, or a schedule to tune into or anything like that. It’ll be a place for me to detail information about patterns I knit for those who can’t access Ravelry, hints/tips/skills I’ve learnt along the way that I think might be useful to other knitters, maybe the odd post about the design process on what ever I’m designing at the time, and somewhere I can ramble/rant/rave in a long format that doesn’t fit on a social media post.

A bit about me for those who are new here.


I’m Rebecca, a self proclaimed geek, and Mum to 1 Nerdling.


When I’m not knitting (haha) I’m spending time with my loving partner & our son, I play dungeons & dragons (dice collecting is just about as dangerous as yarn collecting) or video games.


I love horror, and comic book movies.


I love gin, black coffee and bold coloured lipstick.
