26th Jun 2020     It started with a placemat...

Anna & I have been busy designing and compiling new stitches for an updated version of our Reversible Knitting Stitches E-book due out in the Autumn. Initially we set ourselves the challenge to find 20 new stitches in 2020 but we both got completely caught up in the idea and by the time we had finished we had added 50 new stitches! ​

​You can read the full story of how we planned our research for the 2nd edition and see some examples of the new stitches in my latest blogpost here.
7th Feb 2020     Faded Denim – a timeless colour for some new placemats

Denim fans have been delighted to see that "Faded Denim" is one of the key colours in Pantone's colour collection for this year and there are some wonderful denim shades in the yarn stores right now. I have recently been knitting a new set of placemats in just this colour and I love the way they have come out. ​

​This is the Trevarren Placemat Set and the set includes two sizes of placemats, plus coasters and extra-thick hot pads / tablemats to protect your table. ​The colour is just perfect and I am looking forward to using this set lots this summer.   . . .

So it was that on 1st Jan 2010, I set myself a challenge to design or find as many reversible knitting stitches as I could and that's how our Reversible Knitting Stitches book came into being!

So this year I have set myself a new challenge: to explore more reversible stitches and see if we can add 20 more stitches in 2020.
