I’ve been reading kate davies blog for years and years and have watched with interest her transformation from academic to full time knitwear designer and wool purveyor after experiencing a stroke. 

I was really excited when the haps book was announced – finally something non-sweater(ish), but sufficiently complicated to be a challenge! I pre-ordered as soon as I was able and the book arrived today (hurrah!). 

I was really taken by uncia and so grabbed some yarn at lunch today to give it a crack – I think this will definitely serve to fulfil #45: knit a complicated garment if I can pull it off.

As an aside, amazing how I follow so many knitting blogs when I so rarely knit. Aspirational?
