Dealing With My Backlog
Do you keep track of how much you spend on knitting? I do 🙁 I’m not going to reveal the shameful numbers but suffice it to say, my level of “sin” has been around the same each year for the past few years – Except last year… … in 2013 I managed to spend more than twice […]
The Purl Soho Pullover

Flossie is Done!
Reknitting the body of Flossie really didn’t take very long – and I’m glad I did it. I clearly should have made the small size – silly Susan 🙁 A quick note on yarn amounts – the pattern calls for 12 balls for medium and 10 for a small. I got the medium out of […]

Resolutions and Another Alpaca Lovely

Kidsilk Error
What’s that? Another new Kidsilk Hazealike yarn from Rowan, “Kidsilk Error”??? Errrm, No 🙁 It’s me making a huge blunder in the sales. I found myself at the John Lewis sale when the doors opened at 8:00am and dashed straight to the yarn department. I was overjoyed to find that one of the “Kidsilks” was […]
I would have, but I was terrified it was full of moth lavae. It went straight in the dustbin!
Its a real shame about your tumbling blocks cushion. The rest of it is still so pretty I'd be tempted…
The fronts look just fabulous, and the back calculations and planning are quite genius!
I am in awe of your skills Susan. Looking forward to seeing the finished mistresspiece. x
Oh my goodness!! What am amazing job on creating your own back design. I still haven't tried a steek yet…
