Hey fellow young knitters! Today I discovered @knittingmagazine which is full of fashionable, wearable, stylish items! I'm so excited to read it properly tonught. And it features my fave designer @sincerelylouise #knitting #knittingmagazine #knittersofinstagram

Thank you to my BFF @bybecky46 for these lovely flowers. I feel very spoilt!

THESIS DONE! 3 years, 140 pages and thousands of words later. I'm almost a doctor! Thank you to everyone who has listened to me moan, helped me think and made me tea.

Halfway through chart 3. The rows are 560 stitches long and taking ages! Lovely leaf pattern though #evenstarshawl #knittersofinstagram #knitting

I was pretty happy with my hair do too, inspired by @ulyana.aster

Had the best night at Karla's wedding last night with the team!

Happy valentine's day everyone! I'm off out for pizza at @baffipizzeria 😍🍕

Lesson learnt: do not knit lace when drunk on gin. I've had to rip back about an inch after last night's knitting session 😥 #evenstarshawl #laceknitting #knittersofinstagram #knitting

Sunday afternoons are knitting with a dog up my jumper stealing my body heat

Yummy salted caramel melts from @sparrowcollection1584 helping me have a relaxing knit and natter with my BFF @sarahbrazier_sw
