These Socks are Cursed

Published by on June 3, 2008 | 3 Responses

I started my Fleece Artist socks way back in November 2007, as light relief from the incredibly difficult intarsia on Eveleen. I showed them to you, in passing, in my post about my stitch markers from B&Q! This was them back then… Since then, they have been sitting looking mournfully at me from the bag […]

I Love Hildegard

Published by on May 27, 2008 | 10 Responses

It seems like ages since I’ve been able to show you a finished garment I’ve made for myself. **Imagine sounds of frantic typing and checking*** Hmmm – it has been months! Back in February, I showed you Branwen! 😯 Time to rectify that shameful situation… Hildegard is finished and she is lovely! I finished sewing […]

It Fits!

Published by on May 9, 2008 | 4 Responses

I’ve just had the phone call I was expecting from birthday boy, Steve – His Bowie fits! I was pretty anxious about it – I had measured Steve carefully before I started but there was the grain of doubt. I am relieved and pleased. Steve really liked Bowie and was genuinely chuffed with it 😀 […]

Airplane knitting

Published by on April 1, 2008 | 5 Responses

When I told you about my yarncrawl I mean, romantic weekend in Edinburgh, I forgot to tell you – we flew to Edinburgh…and I knit on the flight! It was a big decision, what to take to knit that wouldn’t offend airport security – a decision up there with what clothes to pack! I can […]

Goodbye Old Favourite and Hello New Version!

Published by on February 26, 2008 | 3 Responses

I have finally accepted that a favourite old handknit top of mine needs to go in the bin. I love it to bits but it has been regularly worn, machine washed and tumble dried and has now shrunk to the point where it is a crop top showing way too much belly! Here is my […]

Fairisle – it looked horrid on me!

Published by on February 23, 2008 | 3 Responses

This week I’ve been visiting my big sister, Carol and her lovely husband, Steve. While I was being spoilt rotten, 😀 I remembered to take some photos of a couple of Carol’s jumpers that I made. The first is a fair isle design from Rowan 38 called Electra – guess what?? It’s on the cover […]

Branwen – Now With Added Splodges

Published by on February 16, 2008 | 1 Response

I’ve finally finished Branwen. Doing the crocheted motifs took longer than I thought – not because they were difficult but because it still aggravates my wrist and elbow to crochet too much. I had to do a couple then leave it for a day. There are three sizes of motif and I chose three colours […]

All Wrapped Up

Published by on February 6, 2008 | 5 Responses

It’s done. The Earth Stripe Wrap is mine! Here she is… And the back view – please excuse the big bum! 😯 It’s warm and snuggly and I can see I’m going to be wearing it a lot. I ended up making it 175cm long so it could be flung over my shoulder with enough […]

Soft and Green Snuzzle Scarf

Published by on February 1, 2008 | 2 Responses

The Earth Stripe Wrap (ESW) is coming along well. I’m into the third pattern repeat and, to be honest, its getting a bit boring now. Absolutely beautiful but I’m fed up with changing colours! 😕 I’d show you a picture but it’s just more of the same… When I got home from Yarncrawl2 with this […]

Baby Blue Bib…

Published by on January 26, 2008 | 3 Responses

I need a bit of a break from The Earth Stripe Wrap. Fun as it is, I felt the sudden urge to do something that wasn’t back and forth Stocking Stitch! Tracey, a barista at the Starbucks where we Guilty Knitters meet each Sunday, is due soon and we decided to each knit her a […]
