It’s Monday, which means it’s time for Makers Monday.

What are you working on this week?

Whether you’ve just cast on, you’re halfway through or you’ve finally finished, we’d love to see it.

And don’t wait until it’s perfect. A work in progress, a first attempt or a project that’s been sitting in the bag for months is just as welcome as a finished one.

Share a photo in the comments and tell us what you’re making. Next Monday we’ll feature one of the projects shared in this week’s comments.

This week’s Tip of the Week is all about cotton yarn.

If cotton doesn’t feel quite as comfortable to work with as you’d expected, don’t be too quick to blame your tension. There’s one simple change that’s often worth trying first.

We’ve explained it in this week’s tip, along with a little more about why it works.

Have you found a hook or needle that works better for cotton? We’d love to hear what you’ve found.
