I’ve got my #nuuk on! It’s done and was perfe I’ve got my #nuuk on! It’s done and was perfect for a walk through the park this morning. The #nuuksweater was our first #knitwalk project thanks so much @julietillyflop for suggesting this pattern. I’ve already got some yellow from @tangledyarnuk in the wings to make another. This week has been... crammed, but it’s been dry so my morning walks have been beautiful as we catch the tail end of Autumn and time hop reminded me of a favourite walk 13 years ago when we dragged the kids up Jacobs Ladder from Edale. I miss those days but love having my @knitwalks friends to drag up these climbs! Happy weekend yarn friends, the long and short of it is I recommend the Nuuk by Jonna Hietala which was in @laine_magazine and I used @westyorkshirespinners Illustrious DK to make this one. Oh and Biden. Thank god. #knitlife #knitpattern #knittersofinstagram #knittingaddict #knittersgonnaknit #knittingnerd #yarnaholic #yarnaddict #weareknitters
I‘ve pulled this old favourite out this week, I I‘ve pulled this old favourite out this week, I think this is it’s 4th winter and I really do love it. Super simple crochet and fab yarn from @thewoolkitchen and I thrown it over leather, jumpers, bury my head in it when Its blowing a hooly. I’ll pass it down I think and enforce it upon some poor child regardless of how threadbare it may be by then because I love it. All the knitwear, all the warmth, winter is a yarnoholics dream, chunter chunter, Happy Friday friends. #crochetersofinstagram #crocheters #crochettime #crochetgeek #artisanmade #handmade #handmademovement #knittingaddict #knittingnerd #knittinginspiration #yarnlover #yarnaddict #yarnaholic #winteriscoming #winterishere #hellowinter #winterfashion #knitlife #knittersofinstagram #ourmakerlife #yarnlove #shareyourknits #thisoldthing #thewoolkitchen #woolkitchen #woolkitchenyarn

Yarn on the top floor, sleep in the middle and bre Yarn on the top floor, sleep in the middle and bread oven with serving hatch on the ground floor; warm coffee and bread and some warm knitwear will see you good and on your way. It doesn’t matter if it never happens, it’s just a beautiful thought. I grew up in Northumberland with an absolute love of the coast, a wet face and walking a dog in the rain, I appreciate it more and more, and somehow coming to Angelsey feels like ‘home’ again. No harm in dreaming. My inner Vera is never far away. #angelsey #rediscoverangelsey #beachlife #coastalretreat #coast #knittingaddict #knittinginspiration #newboroughbeach #crochettime #crocheters #handmademovement #knittersofinstagram #yarnlover #weareknitters #crochetcommunity #makerslife #makersofinstagram #cottagecore #cottagestyle #cottagecoreaesthetic #mylocalhero
We ate lunch just a few meters from this mural. It We ate lunch just a few meters from this mural. It couldn’t be more appropriate. As a parent doing my last Uni drop off, no matter how long you had planned it, it’s still a shock and I have that feeling of not knowing what to do with my hands, time, self. Comfort is that both are in the same city and how I love seeing them grow, they make me proud everyday, I’d never selfishly hold them back. Driving home we went to visit my favorite statue, I remember when it was brand new, I was about the same age my kids are now and passed with a lump in my throat when I drove back South leaving my family to go to work in Manchester. It’s a funny old world. Circles of life. #parenthood #motherhood #emptynest #gofly
As with child one I have inflicted warm socks on c As with child one I have inflicted warm socks on child two as she leaves the nest. They are also going to help break in the Dr. Martens which are so strong they would rip the skin off an elephant. I’m good that way, you can’t knit a plaster for a Jimmy Choo could you? Actually, knitting silk on pins sounds like a fab idea... for someone with more time than me. She also gets a groceries bag, blanket is still on going 😂 sock yarn is Tough Sock by @sweetgeorgia from @tangledyarnuk yarns. Yarn for bag is LilySugarnCream from @woolwarehouse perfect for cotton for strong bags of beans and gin. Anyway, where has 18 years gone? I should maybe have knit wings.

I’m not even going to justify my impulsive purch I’m not even going to justify my impulsive purchase of colour and comfort. Because It’s Friday, it’s the end of the week and if the truth be told I’m cream crackered. I’m looking back on some gorgeous early morning walks and fun time with the girl. New yarn is like a new pencil case and if I look at it just like that for a while before caking it up and casting on that’ll do pig, that’ll do. It’s important to appreciate the the things that make you happy, (for me the outdoors and yarn!) when the world is spinning round you, probably best not to watch the news too... #knitlife #knitaddict #knittersofinstagram #knittingaddict #onmyneedles #starburstshawl #whatsonmyhook #yarnaddict #yarnaholic # #yarndiaries #crochetcommunity #crocheters #crochetersofinstagram #crochetlover #crochetgeek #bhooked #knitlife #knitaddict #knittersofinstagram #knittingaddict #peakdistrict #derbyshire #whaleybridge #highpeak #cottagecore #olderandwiser
I started making this when my girl was about.....1 I started making this when my girl was about.....12. I’ve promised to finish it for the last six years and she leaves for Uni soon, crap mum strikes again. Will it be finished it time? I don’t know is the honest answer, there’s only so many hours in the day...it’s a race against time and there’s a new baby in the family coming very soon, can’t bloomin wait, ooooffff I can’t wait to squish that little lamb and inhale baby head scent. But my girl is leaving, it’s like a revolving door this thing called parenthood, a very lovely revolving door all the same. #parenthood #family #newbaby #blanket #crochetersofinstagram #crocheters #crochettime #crochetgeek #artisanmade #handmade #handmademovement #knittingaddict #knittingnerd #knittinginspiration #yarnlover #yarnaddict #yarnaholic #cottagecore #universitylife
The things is, I plan a route and we just go that The things is, I plan a route and we just go that extra bit further, like twice the distance and twice the climb. And that’s the other thing, when you’re just enjoying something you don’t want it to stop and you just keep enjoying it, and for me, and I hope my friends, we just want to keep enjoying being outside and walking, moving, chatting and sharing the experience. We’re knitty friends but just love being outdoors and that’s ace. We leave the working week behind, chat, share and solve as we walk and I love it I do. Friends and the outdoors, tonic of life. Thank you @julietillyflop @amanda.j.gaunt @nessxyz @corvin.jeff for the giggles today, hope to see you and more of the knit crew for another walk soon. Today’s album cover courtesy of @julietillyflop thank you, second album Jeff and his Whistling Pole featuring The Lion, Blair Witch and the Wardrobe. #friends #windgatherrocks #fernileereservoir #knitlife #highpeak #derbyshire #knitwalks #outdoors #lovehiking #yarndiaries #yarndiaries #yarnsports #knittersofinstagram #countryfile #outdoors #cottagecore #walking #gym #mygym #healthylifestyle #
I said it was vast and here it is! Thing is, with I said it was vast and here it is! Thing is, with a @westknits is as soon as you finish one, you want to start another, another challenge to learn some new techniques and skills, I love it, that feeling if excitement, I guess a bit like a new term. I’m already thinking of what next, there’s a demonic laugh there as I plan and new project and gander new yarn... So, just leave me here to walk the beaches with knitwear and colour and a dog yapping in the distance waiting for the ball to be thrown in the water, one more bloomin time. Happy Bank Holiday week, I hope it’s a creative one. #westknits #starburstshawl #knittersofinstagram #knittingaddict #knittinglove #knittinginspiration #onmyneedles #shareyourknits #weareknitters #whatsonmyhook #yarnaddict #yarnaholic #crochetcommunity #crochetersofinstagram #handmade #madebyhand #westknitsarethebestknits #anglesey #redwharfbay #strikke #cottagecore #knitter #rediscoverangelsey
International dog day this week but let's be reali International dog day this week but let's be realistic, it's Wodge day every day for us at home. This fluff ball of white matted fur is the soft side of velcro to scratchy side that is my side, he's hilarious, known to sit at the table when he's hungry until he's got your attention, he's an explorer and loves walking the Peaks and Coastline with us, he's annoyingly randy at 8pm every night, with.out.fail is desperate to bonk your leg, he barks like mad if we argue or raise voices, he gets jealous if not involved in an embrace, he goes berserk when Granpa visits, he waits at the door when the kids leave and goes crazy when they are home, he loves to go to @fernmosspetsupplies for bone or @thebridgebakehouse for a sausage, he's made our family complete, crazy white fluff ball he is. #family #dogsofinstagram #jackrussell #yarndiaries #roughcoatedjackrussell #internationaldogday #derbyshire #familylife #countrylife #dogsarethebest #animalsofinstagram #dailyfluff
