An Adventure with Prym Ergonomics Knitting Needles
When I was asked if I would like to review Prym’s new Ergonomics knitting needles, I immediately said yes. As an occasional knitter, there are some things that I have always struggled with (most notably tension and dropped stitches). I had hoped that these knitting needles would help me fix those issues, and I am pleased to say that they have!
Namaqualand Blanket Pattern
The Namaqualand Blanket is very special to me for many (mostly sentimental) reasons. It is meant to reflect the colours of the beautiful flowers that grace the Namaqualand ‘veld’ every Spring. I am delighted to share the pattern with you.
Show and Tell: Namaqualand Blanket
The Namaqualand blanket is very dear to my heart. I designed it for my South African crochet tour with Be Inspired last year and the colours and pattern are meant to reflect the beautiful flower-strewn fields that grace Namaqualand every spring.

I will admit that I shoved everything else aside as soon as the yarn arrived and have been playing (and playing, and playing) with it for the last 10 days. It has jolted me into a much-needed creative frenzy.
