Engaging in a cheeky bit of bed knitting early this morning whilst it was chilly outside. Onto the hem ribbing and I hope to hit my first sleeve this afternoon! Well on track to be finished for KAN!

Living it large in Ahuriri! Catching up with you to check out the snow ❄️ from Hardinge Road, while wearing my Hardinge Road hat and my Hardinge Road Cowl (both free patterns on my Ravelry profile)

What’s on your needles on this bitterly cold day?

It’s nerve wracking to do a progress fitting on a garment you’ve made from a pattern you’ve modified so heavily that it becomes unrecognisable. However I’m pleased to report, my desire for well fitted shoulders and bust are on track and my A-line efforts can continue with confidence!
Now breathe Maree and knit on!

The yarn is my Sable Society Colour Helix, available only at KAN. The public market is Sunday 30th nine ‘til noon at East Pier Hotel Ahuriri

I’m really pleased to hear Jan has found support and a resolution for her woes. There is some great selfless work going on in Dunedin by her and her volunteer knitters

Knitter Jan Aitken was at work one day when she got a phone call telling her she was breaking the law. “I thought, holy hell.”
