For the Geeky Man Who has Everything

Published by on November 2, 2008 | 4 Responses

What do you knit for a very Geeky man (I say that affectionately) who has everything knitted he wants and a couple of items over that requirement? “Nothing!” I hear you cry, “Knit  for yourself!” Hmmmm…that might work but I’m a generous soul….some people even call me “pushy”… “You need a lovely scarf now the […]

…and Emily Looked so Easy??

Published by on October 26, 2008 | 3 Responses

You could be forgiven for wondering what I’ve been knitting when not on a train doing the Hedera socks. I do have a second projects on the go! Yes, YES, I KNOW. “One WIP at a time” is my mantra – but a travelling sock doesn’t count. So there! 🙂 My current “not travelling” project […]

Perfect Knitting Gift Found in Sainsburys!

Published by on October 13, 2008 | 16 Responses

I am officially trying to start a consumer’s panic buying frenzy on an item in Sainsbury’s. When doing my boring weekly food shop on Sunday, I spotted what is arguably the most reasonably priced, inspired gift for any knitaholic. Its this… A china mug that looks like it is knitted, filled with yummy shortbread!!! And […]

When an Old Knit Dies….

Published by on October 11, 2008 | 6 Responses

First a confession – I’ve barely knit this week. I’ve been on an intensive training course for work all week- my evenings were “study til you fall asleep” territory 😯 When I got home on Friday and changed clothes, I pulled out an old knit from the back of the wardrobe to relax in…. Oh […]

Train of Thought

Published by on October 4, 2008 | 3 Responses

My new job is stealing all my knitting time.  I’m having to fit my yarn addiction in where I can. For those of you who have been impressed in the past by my previous (unemployed) super-productivity , you can sit back and gloat right about now – progress is so slow! For my current work […]

I’m Innocent Again

Published by on September 27, 2008 | 1 Response

I suddenly realised that the deadline for sending in Innocent Smoothie Hats (17th October) was rapidly approaching and I hadn’t knitted a single one. For those not in the know, this is for a charity promotion by Innocent Smoothies – the little hats go on the small bottles and 50p goes to Age Concern for […]

Cats Squabble Over Completed Haven!

Published by on September 17, 2008 | 9 Responses

I’ve had problems with the cats and Haven. It’s finished but there have been squabbles! Firstly, Mewsley has been rather jealous of all the attention Thug has been getting. She decided that SHE was going to do the snugglablity testing for Haven. After much pawing (and a little drooling) she decided that it was soft […]

Summer? Ha! I’m Making a Scarf

Published by on September 12, 2008 | 3 Responses

What do you make after a cute, short sleeved cotton cardigan when, frankly, it’s too cold and wet to wear it without a thermal layer underneath and a sou’wester over the top? A huge, warm, snugglicious scarf of course! It is Haven from Kim Hargreaves’ book, Heartfelt. Ben bought me this book last Christmas.  I […]

Geno – The Knitty Gritty

Published by on September 9, 2008 | 5 Responses

You’ve had a sneak preview of Geno in action at I-Knit Day, now to give you the knitty gritty and the completed knit report. And some gratuitous Thug pictures because he was complaining (meowing) loudly that he hasn’t got enough blog time. So here she is, the finished Geno. I am still basking in the […]
