Flower Blanket – Taking Shape…

Published by on April 5, 2009 | 7 Responses

I have finished 17 squares of my Flower Blanket, rejiggled the pattern (again) and done some sewing up! The squares have taken over as my train knitting – on a knitpicks circular needle (ideal on a crowded train and for leaving fellow commuter’s eyes in their sockets!) I can get one striped or one moss […]

Flower Blanket – The Knitting Begins…

Published by on March 29, 2009 | 6 Responses

I’m guessing some of you have been awaiting progress on the Flower Blanket?? Shall I taunt you?? I’m not that cruel 😀 You know I said I’d do this on the train? Somehow I’ve found another project to do on the train so this has been my evening project instead – the plain and stripy […]

Purple Flower Blanket – The Design Phase

How does being bored with knitting plain socks on the train turn into an afternoon designing a blanket? Here’s how… I sat asking myself, “What can I knit on the train that’s not socks?” Squares for a blanket maybe? Out came my two Debbie Abrahams blanket books. These two… I made my Denim Blankie from […]

Boring Commuting Socks

Published by on March 15, 2009 | 2 Responses

With a blog post title like that I’m amazed you’d want to read this!! I finished yet another plain of boring plain socks on my daily commute this week… Here they are…. Thrilling huh?

Back Catalog Delving

Published by on March 8, 2009 | 6 Responses

I am finally beating the three months of constant coughs and colds! Yeah for me! 🙂 Unfortunately for my knitting, this means that I’m busy having nights out and enjoying myself to make up for lost time –  rather than sitting home and knitting. What I’m trying to  say is there’s not much knitting progress […]

Knit Blogger’s Block

Published by on March 1, 2009 | 7 Responses

I’ve been sitting at my PC, staring at a blank blogpost for about 15 minutes. I think I may be suffering from “Knit Blogger’s Block”. That’s very like Writer’s Block…but knitterly…. Maybe it’s some kind of cross contamination between writing and blocking my knitting??? Oh dear, I just had a vision of myself pondering the […]

Annoyed Angels and Phoenixes

Published by on February 21, 2009 | 3 Responses

I’m sure I’ve mentioned the Angelyarns knitting forum on my blog before. I have spent a lot of time posting there and made some good friends.  It has been a valuable resource for me – friendly, funny and full of knowledgeable people who were happy to help. The bad news is that this forum has […]

This was supposed to be a Valentine’s prezzie but I was a week late 🙁 Bad Susan. For those of you who don’t know , there is a Playstation3 game called “LittleBigPlanet” whose main character is Sackboy – a cute knitted character.

I’ve had a strange and scrappy week or two- in my life and my knitting. And I’ve had a knitting related loss. The big news around here is that we’ve put our home up for sale – all those neatly painted, plain backdrops to my knitted creations could be yours -for a very large fee!! […]

Finally, a Bit of Fluff

Published by on February 3, 2009 | 13 Responses

Mewsley may be a bully but she made me finish my Lacey Top. It’s taken me a horrendous 2 months to knit! I have knit socks and a cushion cover in that time too. Wanna see my little bit of fluff?? And the back view… It’s very fluffy and soft – and warm!   I […]
