Knit Knack

Hi, I’m Sarah and I’d like to welcome you to Knit Knack, a blog on knitting, crochet and other needlecrafts.

I have recently returned to knitting after not having done any at all for quite a few years. My decision to do so was motivated by the fact that I’m soon to become an auntie for the very first time, and I wanted to make something special for my nephew.

Currently, I’m part way through a very simple baby blanket and a knit wrap-over jacket for myself.

I also decided, a couple of days ago and inspired by the knitting magazines I’ve been reading, that I needed to learn how to crochet. It seems awfully hard compared to knitting - but I’m fairly confident I’ll get the hang of it in the end. 

As well as knitting and, now, crochet, I enjoy cross-stitch but have a terrible habit of buying new kits, starting them and then getting distracted by another… I intend to try and complete at least one of my ongoing projects before the end of the year!

I hope to be able to provide some useful information on the above topics, and on any other needlecrafts or techniques I try, as well as providing regular updates on my projects. 

I’d love to hear what other people are doing, so please let me know about your own projects. In addition, if there is anything you would like me to cover, please leave a comment and I’ll do my best.
