it's lookin' pretty set to be a new project of ours - the flower basket knitalong.
one of yarn lovin' melbinites favourite stores is marta's for her coloured yarn. don't believe us? see (and buy!) for yourself - our pick is the slubby multicoloured yarn.
hmmm...it seems that the knitty pattern for the french inspired multi coloured dropped stitch clapotis has gained one heck of a following:

so it sells knitting magazines faster than it sells tampons. at least, that's our guess why two magazines are featuring patterns for white bikinis in upcoming issues: knit1 and creative knitting.
we've been off the radar so to speak during our holidays (back soon...) due to isolation. in the meantime, there's a couple of new mags: from vogue knitting comes knit1, a sort of knitters version of cosmogirl vs cosmopolitan.
there's a new online zine in the werks which is looking promising too - spunmag.
