As you may have spotted on my Instagram or Facebook accounts, the word is out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in October, I took the loooong train ride from Lowestoft to Devon to film an episode of Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas 2021. I participated in the Christmas jumper competition, going up against three very talented and lovely people, all of us designing and knitting our interpretation of a Christmas jumper in preparation for the show, and took part in a timed challenge whilst we were there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you’re in the UK, you can watch me trying not to make a fool of myself on Wednesday 15th December at 5pm on Channel 4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other news, it’s been quite eventful over here lately. I have a new sweater for your delight and delectation, named for the town I have made my home, the most Easterly town in the country, I give you the Most Easterly Sweater<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a relatively simple pattern, and might therefore even be attempted by an ambitious beginner. A squishy roll neck, coils of colour block stripes and designed in a looser style, in Drops Andes yarn which is 65% wool, 35% alpaca and super soft, with a generous body and sleeves, it is perfect for layering up for a brisk walk along South Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can, of course, knit the whole thing in one colour if you prefer, or mix it up with stripes \u2013 the world is your oyster. On which note, it has a festive cousin coming your way very soon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
