Glade- Rowan’s opinion…..

Published by on May 31, 2007 | 1 Response

I’ve been a bad & lazy blogger – my excuse is that I’ve been so fed up over Glade I’ve really not wanted to pick up the needles. Pathetic to get so fed up over knitting huh! So, I’ve kicked myself up the behind and got back to it…. Glade again – I know this […]

The Knitting Gods Hate Me…..

Published by on May 15, 2007 | 6 Responses

Have you ever felt like everything you touch “knitting wise” is going to turn a big pile of steaming Doggy Doodar?? I have just stuffed one of those accursed projects down the back of my “pending” knitting basket! In the middle of the huge Glade Edging Slog, I thought I’d treat my self to a […]

Yellow, Sunny and Happy

Published by on May 11, 2007 | 7 Responses

I really, really need a straight forward, rewarding project to cheer me up. I also really, really need to use up some of my stash! That sounds like a cue for the 10 skeins of Rowan Summer Tweed I found at a recent London show for a bargainous price! I had never been attracted to […]

Glade is Finished!

Published by on May 7, 2007 | 10 Responses

I have finally finished Glade and I have to say – I’m not a happy knitter. After slogging through 10 pattern repeats on the bottom hem and spending another £20 on extra yarn I was looking forward to something fabulous. I blogged all about the needle size problems and “yarn munching” in my previous Glade […]

Garden’s Knitting Chair

Published by on May 6, 2007 | 2 Responses

When the sun is out, I like to knit in the garden. I can look at my tiny patch of garden, dream of the days in a previous home when I renovated huge garden, get a tan and watch over my emerging vegetables. I can also chase off the evil magpies who have been stealing […]

Glade Needle Size Problem Update

Published by on April 27, 2007 | 4 Responses

I have heard back from Rowan and have some useful information to pass on about the Glade Hem edging. (In case you’re wondering what on earth I’m blathering about – I blogged about my suspicion that the hem edging needle size was wrong in my last Glade post.) Firstly – I am not alone. Kathryn […]

Felting Bagtastic!

Published by on April 19, 2007 | 2 Responses

Have I ever told you that I HATE having two WIPs in progress? I like to see project coming together quickly – if I have two WIPs on the go they take twice as long and I get frustrated! 😡 Those of you who have a long list of WIPs scare me! They would all […]
