These socks may not have adorned an Edwardian foot, but they are inspired by the sporting delights of the Edwardian summer. Little rowers floating gracefully down the leg, interspersed with a softly skipping linen stitch, make for rather splendid knitting on the river. Or, indeed, while basking in the summer sun on a week day with a cheeky afte...

Inspired by a friend’s medical research, these socks replicate the intricate entanglement of peripheral axon bundles, with unexpectedly elegant results.

In honour of the great British spring, in which there are always April Showers, followed diligently by May Flowers, this month we decided to raise a glass to the multi-legged and the be-winged instead of the swatter. Thanks to the buzzing bees, my garden is full of flowers blooming and fruits fruiting. Where would I be without them?!

Inspired by the Katia and Kyliemac podcast, these fingerless mitts are a great project for anyone making their first steps into colourwork. They’re also a pretty good gift for anyone who’s a fan of Katia and Kyliemac, or anyone whose name begins with the letter K for that matter!

These socks were inspired by my paternal grandparents, Blanche and Geoffrey. Blanche taught me to knit when I was very wee and knit for dear Geoffrey, a long-standing Mason, until the day she died.

This little dishcloth makes a perfect quick gift for anyone on your list. Two single-row stripes liven it up with a bit of a colour, while the garter rib gives it a bit of interest. Great for new knitters who want to practice their knits and purls and seasoned knitters looking for a fast and easy thrill!

Inspired by my dearheart’s need for strong-wearing yet non-boring hand-knits, these socks imbue a silent masculinity.

These socks began high up on a mountain road in Tuscany. Originally they were going to be my commemorative knitting project to celebrate Matthew and my first proper holiday in what felt like years. We had taken our tent over to Italy, with only a road map and dreams of freedom to guide us. And for a few short days, it really did feel as though ...

Inspired by cold hands and a nocturnal marauder, these mitts will help you stay warm deep into the night.
