I Like The B-Side Better…

Published by on July 23, 2010 | 7 Responses

I’ve really enjoyed the burst of creativity in making my Conservatory Cushion and I  love the logic bound technique for combining the colours. Fabulous pattern 🙂 Here’s the finished creation… From Double Vision Cushion And in place in the conservatory… From Double Vision Cushion The slightly different gauge yarns I used (all apparently DK weight) […]

Gosh! I’m expecting to be mobbed for an autograph and and be asked to open a shopping centre the next time I go out amongst my public…. Why am I deluded into thinking I have achieved such superstar status?? The Guilty Knitters and I have made it to the National Knitting press! This month’s (July […]

I can’t believe I started Halcyon back in April. It’s taken me two and a half, very dull and uneventful months. To be fair, it has been delayed by my usual attack of SKS  (Summer Knitting Slump) – there were a couple of weeks there I didn’t knit at all – shocking! I’ve also been […]

Do you remember how we painted the Conservatory a striking shade of green? Well, we’ve now put some furniture and plants in there and created a favourite snoozing spot for Mewsley! From Double Vision Cushion Do you like the cushion on the chair behind Mewsley? It was bought on a whim from Ikea. Here’s a […]

Knitted Election??!!

Published by on May 4, 2010 | 5 Responses

The paint fumes probably are the reason…. …I seem to keep seeing knitting  where I shouldn’t…. …even in the election coverage! This strange and slightly worrying tenancy started when I was in Israel in 2008 (When I made Geno, and Hedera on holiday)…everyone else saw a sculpture dedicated to world peace…I saw…a giant ball of […]

Halcyon is storming along and so far, is a very enjoyable knit. I’ve made both of the peplums, picked up the stitches for the back – VERY carefully and neatly… From Halcyon and started rampaging towards the armholes … From Halcyon OK I say ‘rampaging’…I probably mean slowly and meticulously plodding through the rows, checking […]

Full of Milky Goodness

Published by on April 12, 2010 | 8 Responses

Spring is “springing” in the garden and I’ve just finished two thick, dark wintery jumpers. I guess I’ll be needing a new exciting knit that is  something summery then? I have been fawning over the new Rowan Magazine, number 47 From Halcyon and trying to decide between my 3 favourites in the book. There’s Harmony… […]

Oh Boy! I seem to have blinked and it’s been over a month since my last blog post – Sorry readers – I’ve been bad and neglected you 🙄 First I was busy with work – but in a good way. Learning new stuff, meeting new people but under some tough deadlines, doing long days […]

And something for the birds…

Published by on February 24, 2010 | 7 Responses

One of the great pleasure of my lovely new house is that there is a pretty tree and some shubs in the garden, outside of the kitchen window. The tree is the PERFECT place to hang bird feeders! I waste an awful lot of potential knitting time watching the birds and squealing when I spot […]
