Adventures with Jacquard Ladderback
Who is Jacquard Ladderback? A late Georgian Era, gentleman thief to rival Raffles with his fiendish cunning and skill?

Retirement of the Old and Past It
I’m finding it hard to give up on old and dated handknits. There should be a handknit garment retirement home where they are cooed over, petted, paid compliments, and treated like venerated elders.
I do that too. I always put a stitch marker at my wrap and turns or I'd never recognize when…
What a beauty, I love it. As someone who also indulges in a little light trafficking , there is no…
It's beautiful. What a treasure. We used to smuggle wine/liquors when returning from Europe. Yarn seems much safer.
It's an unusually cold and wet summer here in England. 17C today! Sorrel was very welcome 🙂
Your advent fade really turned out well. I pink and purple one would be beautiful too. I can't imagine wearing…
