Betwixtmas Make Along 2024


I love the magic of Christmas and I love the magic of Betwixtmas. This is such a wonderful time of year to come together and share in a tradition. As the children get older I often reflect on traditions that we no longer take part in and my most missed is the School Nativity Play. I love the home-made costumes, Christmas Carols and of course the unscripted moments of chaos.

The three Kings are such an integral part of the Nativity, walking solemnly across the stage in rich capes carrying gold, frankincense and myrrh, ready to greet their new King. Let’s embrace the magic of the wise men for Betwixtmas 2024.

There are four incredible colourways for this year’s kit all themed around the Three Kings and the Star of Wonder. Embrace the luxury yarns, use your hand made golden star stitch-marker and create your own jewel toned shoulder cowl. As a tradition, Betwixtmas is one of my absolute favourites and I love that I get to share it with you all.

We have four gorgeous kits for you containing two luxurious yarns,  Rowan Kidsilk Haze and Fyberspates Vivacious 4ply. Kidsilk Haze is simply THE best mohair silk combo, adding super soft haze to this beautiful shoulder cowl, and when blended with 100% merino from Vivacious you have the most incredible fabric. 

Drawing on inspiration from the nativity, our colourways are Gold, Frankincense, Myrrh and Star of Wonder. Each kit contains two balls of Kidsilk Haze and one or two hanks of Fyberspates Vivacious 4ply (depending on size), printed pattern, postcard and a gold hand-made stitch marker from the fabulous Fripperies & Bibelots.  Plus it is all wrapped up in a specially designed Betwixtmas 2024 mini project bag.

Betwixtmas is always our favourite project of the year and we really want it to be extra special for you; a gift to spoil yourself with at this magical time of year.

As always the Betwixtmas pattern will also be available as a FREE digital download, so everyone can join in. This project is about coming together to share in something magical, so feel free to stash bust.

Please share your Betwixtmas in our  Facebook Make Along group it’s a wonderful place to hang out and we love to see your projects appearing. 

The live cast on will be on Christmas Eve at 2pm on our Facebook Page. Join me for a glass of something festive and get all my hints and tips to ensure your Betwixtmas goes smoothly. It’s the perfect start to the festivities! 

All our love and Happy Christmas from
