Hi friends

Hi friends,

 Behind the scenes, in between health problems we've been working on branding and decided to simplify and merge all 3 brands together under Cozy Woodland Cottage Knits. This means you'll see my journey, endo advocacy, writing, book reviews and of course therapeutic knitting here still but under one brand not as 3 separate brands.

Where I’ve been

Where Arjaye has been

Sometimes a rest, reset and change is needed. I needed a break from social media and my blog with everything that was going on and thought I should post here so you know where I’ve been.

Book recommendations and reviews August

Picture of august book recommendations and reviews


Here are my book recommendations and reviews for August. I love to read and I've started keeping a list every month along with a reading journal, here are m reviews and recommendations.  There's a range of different novels. My Goodreads goal is to read 152 books, currently (as at end of August) I've read about 117. I set a goal to read 2 fiction books every week so 8 books this month but I read 10 instead. My other goal is to read 2 non-fiction books in a month but like last month I didn't finish reading any non-fiction books.

Tutorial on how to do a knitted cast on


Picture of how to do the knitted cast on


The knitted cast on was the first one I learn how to do when I first started knitting.  It is quite a good cast on as it doesn't unravel like a long tail cast on can if you drop a stitch on the first row, perfect for learning how to knit.  Though it can be slower than a long tail cast on. In this tutorial, you will learn how to do a slip knot and how to do a knitted cast on step by step.
