Silly Little Sheep Yarns

This is the book containing the prawn pattern. The pattern is also available on Ravelry. It is called ‘Prawn’ and is by Susie Johns.
The book is ‘Twenty To Make - Knitted Fast Food’.
It contains fun knots like a samosa, pizza slice, sandwich, fish and chips, cherry pie, donuts, biscuits, burger and sushi 🙂 🥧 🦐 🍕 🍔 🍣

This one is for everyone who showed the prawn some appreciation at unravel… a festival of yarn ! I have made it a part of my autumnal /Halloween decor and I have also located the book the pattern came from, so watch this space and I will soon be posting where you can find the pattern (no, it’s not mine, I wish I was that clever though!)

I used to hate going to London, now I just… endure it 😂 I love the landscape, the knitting on the train and relaxing with a bit of coffee from home, but I am not keen on the noisy hot underground with overwhelming adverts, busy traffic and smells. Luckily, I get to travel back and do more knitting and come home into our small-ish town.

I am slowly transitioning my 10g pick and mix to the BFL nylon base. These micro skeins are intended for socks and so far the BFL nylon base is the sturdiest and most durable one I have for socks. At the moment, it is a beautiful mix of both. Of course, I will be bringing the LOT to unravel… a festival of yarn this weekend, where you will be able to make your own unique set or an advent calendar! 🥰🧶🧵

Knitting is just physics and pooling is maths… Fascinating but not something I would work out beforehand. Can you even? I love pooling and I expected it as I am decreasing for the gusset, but am not sure how I feel about a big white patch. Any other colour, sure. I am going to see where this takes me and I am curious whether the second sock will pool in the same way.

Here is your friendly and gently reminder that if you put non-superwash socks into the washing machine, they will FELT, SHRINK and come back to haunt you. The yarn is still reclaimable, which is what I am doing now, hoping not to be a dum-dum next time🤦🏼‍♀️

I have been looking into making my shop, yarn sourcing, yarn dyeing and general knitting habits more sustainable lately. It turns out - it is not a simple matter! Tayler explains what it all contains and also posts some snippets of footage from actual industrial textile recycling facilities (which are in no way glamorous) - it's worth watching just for that.

Recycled yarn is everywhere these days—Re-Spun, Re-Tweed, eco-this,...
