I have lots of lovely news to share on this week’s podcast. We have a winner in the book cover vote, I have finally finished my Hay Pullover, and there’s a new Knitvent pattern to introduce to you. I also have stories from the wonderful embroider workshop I took at Loop London last weekend, and a lovely peace-related knitting project to share.

Alongside an eclectic yarn range, which includes Hazel Knits, Icelandic Lopi & CoopKnits, we stock a carefully chosen selection of needles and notions. We’ve also recently launched ‘hand dyed by meadowyarn’, our very own in-house, hand-dyed yarn range. Working in our tiny dye studio, nestled in the Suffolk countryside, we are able to indulge our love of colour, producing complex tonal, kettle-dyed shades across a range of weights and bases. With regular updates our collections evolve and grow, inspired by the landscape and people around us.
AYS is a wool boutique specializing in hand dyed yarns and luxury fibres from around the world. You’ll always find a well curated collection of yarns and colors on the shelves and a friendly knowledgeable staff on hand. Some of our favorite brands include Hedgehog Fibres, SweetGeorgia Yarn, Julie Asselin, Shibui Knits and The Fibre Co. You can find A Yarn Story on Walcot Street in Bath or online at www.ayarnstory.co.uk

We have a winner for the book cover vote! I am so grateful to all of you who got involved. It was a fascinating process, and I loved hearing all your opinions. Thank you! There was a clear favourite, although not by an enormous margin. So without further ado, here’s the official cover for The Shawl Society Season I book!
Knits About Winter by Emily Foden on Ravelry
Hay Pullover by Clare Mountain
The 5th Knitvent 2018 pattern was released this week! The Winter Sleep Socks are cosy DK weight socks, perfect for a bit of hibernation in the colder months.
Here’s the whole text of the poem that inspired the design! I think it’s adorable.
