It's called Lurpak because there are lurs (Danish Bronze Age instruments) on the packaging.

Fascinating way of visualising a cable pattern. Maybe not the usual way, but that's why it is interesting. Source: a mid-century Soviet learn-to-knit book (I can read basic, basic Russian).

1) that's crochet 2) grandma is probably a radical, smart-arse, highly sarcastic individual who's tired of being devalued due to age & gender

A surprisingly comfortable & peaceful bunk bed. If I can find my way into it. A classic #duvetknowitschristmas entry.

Sorry to harp on about this, but a knitted garment size range of 35-38" busts is just not acceptable in 2023.

Say hello to the Hyndland fingerless mitts, worked in Jamiesons Spindrift. We had the photoshoot yesterday and I'm now working on the pattern. So.. an early October release?

@sophie_gadd I follow cruise forums for exactly the same reasons: "One star. The Tuscany castle we visited on excursion had no AC. There were uneven cobblestones everywhere."

I'm retiring from knitting. Perfection has been attained. Knitting cannot improve upon this.

Cavalier King Charles pattern by knittinglotta

The pattern starts with 68 stitches and increases to 80. I like having many stitches to be able to fit in many things in my patterns. If you knit loose you need to knit with needles 2.0. The pattern...

I have Very Complicated Feelings about knitting history. Many casual knitters are delighted to tell me about how cable patterns can identify drowned sailors, for instance. This has been disproven many times. I don't want to be That Person but also I am That Person.

Pals, if I design smthg in a standard yarn from a dyer who no longer dyes AND I provided notes ala "100% superwash merino, 400m/440 yds" - it'd be okay, right? Just looking at my stash and hmm.

Knitting in public among non-crafty people is still fun. "What ARE you making?" - "I could watch you do that for hours" - "Is that knitting?" - "That is just fascinating to watch" and (my favourite) "That has to be witchcraft"
