Eveleen’s progress and some “Sickie Girl” knitting…

Published by on September 13, 2007 | 3 Responses

Firstly, Thank you all for your helpful suggestions and support with Eveleen – I’ve mostly abandoned the bobbins and used long strands – definitely much easier when there’s this much mayhem. I’ve also stopped being so “strict” and started carrying some of the colours. It’s still taking major concentration though. Unfortunately, in the last week, […]

Eveleen has Teeth!

Up to this point I have been really enjoying Eveleen. 😀 I struggled and won with the lace pattern – I’ve now finished all the lace for the back and front and I’ve completed the plain part of the back. A welcome relief after so much concentration. 🙄 There’s eyelet holes between the bands of […]

Eveleen Speeds Up

Published by on August 19, 2007 | 4 Responses

I chose Eveleen to slow me down a bit….. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately!!) I’m really enjoying the lace pattern and have got quite quick at it! I’ve now done enough repeats so I can look at the pattern at the beginning of a RS row then memorize it all the way to the end of […]

Click, Snip, Swear, Tug…

Published by on August 12, 2007 | 9 Responses

So, continuing the story of Click… Click has been through the washing machine with a couple of towels at 60 degrees -the pattern says 50 but whose machine has 50 degrees? Mine only has 40 or 60….. When it came out, my fears about curling were founded. I had also rather overdone the the felting.. […]

Clickety-Click

So what’s the other project? After having a little OCD session and organising my needles meticulously in my nice new shiny Namaste needle bag I realised that the needles for current projects just kicked around in the bottom of my knitting bag – at best they got wrapped in this spare piece of fabric! I […]

Oh so slow, Eveleen

OK… I’ve teased you long enough …… I’ll tell you about my next project…… In fact I have two projects started!! 😯 Normally I like to keep just one WIP on the go as you know, but this next project is what I promised when I signed off my last post about Orford– really hard […]

Orford slips off the glass needles

Published by on July 31, 2007 | 7 Responses

I haven’t posted for a week. Bad Susan. Remember in my last post about Orford I said I’d need new wardrobes If I kept knitting so fast????? Well, I think Ben must be reading my blog – this week, at his suggestion, we have been redecorating the bedroom and researching new wardrobes!! I had dreams […]

Ohhh! New Needles!!

Published by on July 23, 2007 | 4 Responses

On my knitterly shopping spree, when I bought my lovely Namaste needle binder, I suffered a problem well know to knitters. Another item just jumped into my basket! I didn’t put them there! Honest! 😮 I just had to have these… Also from Namaste, glass knitting needles… “Won’t they break??”, I thought that – they […]

I have to share… …I’ve been shopping for knitterly treats….. ……And I’m not talking yarn……. ………I’ve been lusting after one of these for 18 months……. …………A Namaste Needle Binder!!! 😛 It works like a lever Arch file and has “pages” inside to store your needles in…. Like this… There are different pages available and you […]

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 […]
