Is it too early to mention the ‘C’ word? Yes, if you’re trying to sell me mince pies that go out of date three months before Christmas, but not if we’re talking knitting! If you’re wanting to show off your Christmas knits in December, cast on today and you have two full months to work on them before the start of advent, then you can spend December feeling smug that your Christmas knitting is done. I love Christmas, and have plenty of festive designs for you to knit.

Want to know something I get really excited about? Finding my pattern in a book!
