I have a new design published by Making Magazine! My pattern for a ‘knit dickey’ (what can I say, they chose the name…) is now published in Making Winter Vol.4, the Gifts edition – amongst some wonderful company! (Scroll down for links)
In this month’s (slightly tardy) episode of my studio vlog, I chat much more about the process of designing and making this piece. I have lots of ideas for weird & wonderful accessories – O if only time weren’t a factor, I would bombard you delightful knitters with so many more patterns. Even so, crochet has been a wonderful respite.
PLUS my exhibition is now open!! I update you on my artist residency at Kew Gardens Archive which has been ongoing since the summer. Thanks so much for watching and being here with me across the last year. There have been a LOT of ups & downs, and I deeply appreciate your company and your support. At the moment things are Up, but I am pragmatic as always – they won’t stay Up forever! I rest easy knowing that I have such a wonderful & understanding audience when I inevitably face the next Down.

I’ve been posting behind-the-scenes exhibition updates on my personal (non-knitting) Instagram account is @asourtelling. My professional/academic Twitter account is @a_h_tay – but note – as Twitter is self-combusting as of Nov/Dec 2022, I probably won’t be using it any longer.
