Friday roundup 26 May 2023
The sun is shining and another bank holiday weekend beckons
With that in mind, and because I’m keeping this newsletter short and sweet this week I’ll cut to the chase and tell you about my 50% discount weekend.
From now until midnight on Sunday 28 May, all the patterns on my website have a 50% discount, just for you lovely email subscribers.
Just use the code SUNSHINE and the discount will automatically be applied at the checkout.
Making me smile this week
Reading Emma Gannon’s new book - The Success Myth - I love Emma’s writing at the best of times, but this book is ticking all the right boxes for me right now. Turning on it’s head the idea of how we’ve traditionally defined success and shining a light on the myth of ‘the hustle culture’
If you are looking for knitting patterns for premature babies (I was looking to use up some sock yarn oddments recently) you might want to bookmark this blog post from the lovely EvinBail on twitter
I came across a new (or at least new to me) line of sock yarn recently. The Stylecraft Head Over Heels range. It’s a 75/25 wool/acrylic mix with a great range of self stripes at a very affordable price point. They’ve had a range of colours for a while, I gather but have a new ‘Walking in Nature’ range which is what caught my eye - pictured below. I haven’t tried it yet, but of course I had to place a small order just to try it out. I’ll report back.
Those Stylecraft colourways are gorgeous!!
