I have been a fan of Julie’s work for a while now and I was SO thrilled to hear she has joined the Brooklyn Tweed team as a knitwear designer. Not only is Julie very talented but she has always been incredibly kind and generous with her knitting knowledge which as a novice knitter has [...]

During the last three weeks at Calico, the lovely Sarah was on a much anticipated trip to France and London which meant a few extra shifts and working with the equally lovely Sue.

I loved knitting this and I love the finished product even more. Knit in the smallest size (1-4) and made for my cousin’s little girl, Pia who will be 1 in May. Although it will be a little big for Pia to begin with, she should get quite a lot of wear out this. Maddie [...]

We are on a beach mini-break and like every beach holiday of ours, the weather is less than ideal. Before we left, I packed a knitting project and clearly remember thinking “I really should wind another ball but I am running out of time and really one should be enough, right? Fifteen rounds from completing [...]
