Maple Infinity Scarf Knit-Along | Come Join!


The Maple Infinity Scarf has been published and the celebrate I'm hosting a knit-along. We had a lot of fun with our knit-alongs last year so it's lovely to be running the first one for 2019 now. 


Maple is a cosy, chunky knit with lots of texture in a relaxing pattern. Broken moss stitch is easy to knit, providing interest and texture. Maple is knitted holding two strands of DK weight yarn together, creating a cuddly fabric and making this a quick knit.

I knitted Maple in two yarns - one sample is worked in silky smooth Novomerino and the other in woolly, squishy WOOLganic. Both yarns work really well with this pattern, each giving slightly different results.

All the info on how to join the KAL is below to make this as simple as possible for you. I hope you'll join us!

Come Join The Mug Cosy Knit Along


This little Marshmallow Bunny Mug Cosy is something I designed last year. It was around this time of year when I was knitting mug cosies and planning to open an online yarn shop. I did end up opening that yarn shop, and now it's nearly time to celebrate its first birthday. I still remember my excitement when my business and sample cards arrived, and how that excitement increased with the first shipment of yarn to arrive. Many balls and skeins of yarns have arrived and subsequently been shipped off since then, and I'm so, so grateful for every single order that's been placed.
I'm pretty chuffed that one year in my little shop continues to grow, and I get to continue on finding new yarns and sharing the joy of them all with you.

To celebrate Say! Little Hen turning 1 year old, I'm hosting a knit-along. This is a friendly and casual knit-along so that it's fun to participate in.

Perhaps you're wondering what a knit-along even is?
It's a super fun way to join a group of other knitters - no matter where in the world you are - and all work on a similar project. It's also a good way to feel encouraged and supported if you're trying out a new technique for the first time, as you're doing it with a group of knitters at the same time! The schedule of this Knit-Along is pretty loose so you can knit when and where you have time and feel like it, without feeling stressed about a finishing deadline, because that's no fun at all!

When participating in a knit-along, the general idea is to interact with others joining in the knit-along and post photos of your progress. There are no rules as to how often you have to post though, again keeping it casual!

I've made an Instagram hashtag for this Knit-Along (#saylittlehenKAL), which you can add to your KAL posts so that we can all see them and where we can talk about the KAL, offering encouragement, and help too if it's needed. I've also created a Facebook group for the KAL, where we can all post photos of our progress.
