Finally... finally the day has come when the idea that I’ve been working on, thinking about, swatching, mathsing, knitting, testing, stopping, photographing, writing, editing and who knows what else for months and months on end has finally been released into the wild. The new, improved version of the Seed Bubble Sweater.
The title says it all: I like knitting and I like crochet! Earlier this year, I worked on two patterns for the summer issues of these mags, and was lucky enough to work on three warm and cosy designs for their October issue!

Sometimes things take longer than you expect them to, and sometimes life just tells you to STOP EVERYTHING (like… right this second… put down the knitting needles and stop playing with the yarn) and rest for a while. If you’ve been following along with The Great Finger Injury on Instagram, you’ll know that life made me stop knitting, writing, typing or climbing for almost two weeks in October, and it was hard.
