Happy New Year and a warm welcome to 2026. Last year was an epic year for me, with moving house from the Yorkshire hills to south coast of England and becoming a grandmother to mention just a few of the events that crowded the year. But we are now settled in our new place by the sea and the sewing room is up and running and I am ready to begin some new projects for a new life.
Hope your new year lists are full of creative plans. Ruby xx
Really excited to share this one with you, it has been a most lovely project. I first caught sight of this shawl on instagram a while ago and perhaps it was the name which attracted me to it and I bookmarked it as a possible project. Then one of my favourite knitters posted a photo about it and I was so smitten that I decided to get the pattern and put it firmly at the top of my ‘to do’ list. The magical colours of the variegated wool just looked so beautiful, especially with the ribbed triangles at cross angles.
