Anti Summer Knitting Slump Socks
As you may have already guessed – I’ve had SKS (Summer Knitting Slump) really bad! Knitting, blogging, even buying yarn all seemed another chore I had to fit in. I even considered stopping blogging ! I think I had been pushing too hard at reducing my WIPs and getting through my queue without stopping to […]
Whirlwind Update

Multitude of inadequate excuses include: Very busy at work (All going rather well though!)… Work trip to Budapest, Hungary to do some presentations to the teams out there on what I’m doing (Very successful work trip, fabulous city and OMG – The Boscolo […]
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…
