So many of you have been trying out specialty stitches and I was thinking about teaching them in March and doing colourwork in February. But... I would love to know what you want? What do you want me to teach in February and do some projects for?

Queen Victoria was a fan of knitting. The Britsh Queen wielded a pair of knitting needles herself, and her love for the craft had a remarkable impact on the popularity of knitting during the Victorian era. Before her reign, knitting was actually often seen as a necessity or a chore relegated to the lower classes. However, Queen Victoria’s royal engagement with knitting elevated its status, transforming it into a respectable hobby for people of all social classes. By the end of her reign, knitting had become a standard skill taught to young girls across Britain. Just picture a queen sitting in her palace, needles clicking away. A real knitting influencer in other words!
