Kidsilk Kebab – New Layout!

Published by on January 21, 2007 | Leave a response

To get me started on my blog, I’d used the same colours and layout theme as Ben’s web site – very pretty, I thought, but plagiaristic. So I’m going to try this theme out for size. It originally came with goldfish in the top right hand corner – Lord knows why??? Thanks to Ben’s fabulous […]

Spangle scarf done!

Published by on January 18, 2007 | 1 Response

I was really keen to get my spangle scarf finished so I could wear it if I had to venture out in the forecast storms for today. I watched a stupid amount of TV yesterday and knit frantically to finish it. I have now watched so many episodes of Stargate that the first thiing I […]

Published by on January 14, 2007 | Leave a response

I have dozens and dozens of knitted garments – where do I start? I think, I should tell you what I’m doing right now and, when it gets boring (during the endless rows to finish the second sleeve – yawn) I’ll pull another garment out of my “back catalog”…any better ideas I’d love to hear […]

To Blog or Not to Blog – that is the question…

Published by on January 14, 2007 | 2 Responses

I have been nagged mercilessly by friends, family and a geeky “web centric” partner to blog my knitting exploits… So here I am. See my “Who’s writing” page if you want more about me… I have two beloved cats I need to introduce you to.I do not apologise for loving them dearly – they will […]
