This month I’m talking about working on pieces for my Handmade Wardrobe. I’ve cast on my first project, the Angelus Novus Cardigan for the East London Knit Klee KAL. I’ve also had my sewing machine fixed so am back in business for sewing some garments too. Some special announcments: Its UK Podcast Awards again and I would be so grateful if you would vote for me! I also have very exciting news about….The Shawl Society coming soon!

The Shawl Society
Joining The Shawl Society feels like stepping through a hidden doorway. You know you’re about to escape into something fresh, unexpected, and full of possibility.
The Shawl Society is a pattern subscription club for anyone who adores the element of surprise. Membership entitles you to six amazing months of secret shawl patterns (one pattern will be released each month – June to November) to knit along with your fellow initiates. Participation in the Shawl Society also opens up a world of secret codes, exclusive discounts from boutique yarn producers, and members-only pop-up sales. Other important membership benefits include (but are not limited to):
- Close-knit camaraderie
- Scheming
- The particular glow you get from a really good secret
The six designs in this mystery collection cover the entire shawl spectrum. You’ll encounter different shapes, sizes, and techniques, and the difficulty level will range from relaxing patterns you can knit as you lounge at the lakeside all the way to challenging projects to ignite your sense of adventure. The shawls will be released one by one, and each will take you on a journey. All you have to do is follow the path as it unfolds, one step at a time.
