With December just around the corner it’s time to With December just around the corner it’s time to start revealing the 4 new patterns I have concocted for this years #ambahsFestiveKAL2025 I’ll share one at a time over the coming week, ahead of publishing all of the patterns at the end of November. First up, let me introduce Magiclands Wrap. Make the most of a gorgeous 24-colour festive yarn set with this large wrap project. Cruisy garter stitch with a simple intarsia pattern is perfect for a first intarsia project and keeps things interesting. The Magiclands Wrap is a soothing project to retreat to during busy days and results in a large wrap to cosy up in. The simple pattern allows your gorgeous yarn to be the star of the show and includes a choice of DK or fingering weight yarn. Magiclands is a surf beach a short walk from my home. I wanted to honour the two yarn sets I chose for my projects, each ocean-themed, celebrating two coastal locations for different hemispheres. Magiclands is where I take my Aurora Australis images, also apt as Magiclands Wrap is the wrap version of the #aurorahuntershawl Pictured is the DK weight version in B & W. I used the 2025 @pineappleyarn Turtle Tide set and will be revealing each colour daily in December. Spoiler: It’s stunning! I held the Lani sock double for my DK version and there’s still kits available too. I was kindly gifted this yarn set. #magiclandswrap #pineappleyarns #ambahobrien #knitlove #adventknitting #yarnadvent

Warragul greens pesto 💚 I love making pesto from Warragul greens pesto 💚 I love making pesto from abundant garden greens. These native greens have self grown & it’s time to make the most of them. They require blanching prior to eating, then blend up as you would with any pesto. I had cashews on hand, macadamias are perfection for this, I like walnuts in my pestos too. What’s your favourite pesto? #bushtucker #warragulgreens #pesto #ambahobrien
