Roped myself a bargain….

Published by on July 17, 2007 | 3 Responses

I really liked this design from the first moment I saw it. It’s Orford from the current Rowan magazine, no. 41. What stopped me rushing straight out and buying the yarn was the cost! It takes 12 balls of Rowan Cotton Rope – Nearly £50! 😯 That seemed rather steep for a little vesty type […]

I was very good Friday! I did all my household chores so the weekend would be free for more fun things like helping a friend clear brambles from her new allotment. Yep, I’m strange – I like that kinda thing! 🙂 After a hard day of chores I thought, “I’ll sit in the garden, watch […]

Nicole is done – How quick???

Wow – even for me, Nicole has been a quick knit! Despite having with the beady problem to work out. The fit has come a up little big, compared to the Rowan picture ,but I don’t reckon it looks too bad. I think I simply made it a size too large! I’ve been going to […]

I have about a gazillion balls of yarn and associated projects waiting to be knit up. So why did I suddenly become overwhelmed in John Lewis, by the desire to buy yarn to make a pattern I’d only just seen?? I must be a sick, untreatable yarn addict…. It’s that or the tummy bug that’s […]

Fabby Flu-Flo

Published by on June 25, 2007 | 8 Responses

Flu-Flo is finished!! That’s what my friend Uknitty decided to call it as Fluorescent Florence was too much of a mouthful for her. Ben also has unkindly been referring to it as “Agent Orange”….I shall have my revenge on him by knitting him some agent orange socks with the leftovers 😈 (Not really) So, enough […]

Fluorescent Florence

This project has yielded a couple of surprises! I wanted to knit something in either Rowan 4 ply cotton or Cotton Glace. After scanning the current Rowan magazine, I thought I’d have a flip through some of the old ones and ended up with Rowan Magazine 35 in my hand. This is one of the […]

I the spirit of trying to finish off some of those “too tiny to even call a project” type projects that have been cluttering up my living room, I made some luxurious Fluffy Wuffy Fingerless Gloves. In fact – I sat in the garden on one of the recent scorching hot sunny days knitting warm […]
