Rock It Tee Two
Ben was flying off to Seattle again for work. Shamefully, I still hadn’t knit either of the beautiful skeins of yarn he had bought me back from Yarn Dragon in Pike Place. He’s a good man – going into a yarn shop on his own, discussing my yarn preferences with the staff and bringing back well chosen surprises. Although I have considered sending Yarn Dragon a photo of the lovely Ben with a message, “If you see this man looking for wife-treats, please send him home with XXX”!!! 🤔
Gardengate Disasters
This is a tale of woe. And a new love, disaster, resurrection and final acceptance of failure.
…my fun with Gardengate by Jenifer Steingass…twice…
Lunenburg – Different Kinda Shortrows
Lunenberg uses a different and ingenious method for shortrows.
At least – I hadn’t seen this before and, at first, I was mightily confused. I thought I’d write a quick post incase anyone else is as confused as me.
International Yarn Smuggling
Knitting brings out the criminal mastermind in me. My global network of knitting accomplices, assisted in covertly importing “the good stuff” for my next project. Was it Cracksilk Haze? (Rowan Kidsilk Haze to the unaddicted – one ball is never enough to satisfy!) Did it involve Drug Dealer Scales? No, this is Canadian branch of […]
Love My Advent Sorrel
Oh My! I really love this Advent Sorrel even more now it’s finished 😍 She is warm and soft and perfect for an English mid-summer (which is very cold this year). It took 3 different skeins of green to finish the sleeves (Which look a little long in this picture??). I managed to bend all […]
First Sorrel
I promised to show you my first Sorrel, made with Yarn for the Soul’s light fingering in 2021. Fell in love with the “Midnight is a Lonely Place” colourway as it reminded me of Van Gogh’s Starry Night (just been to an immersive Van Gogh exhibition!!) – Can you see what I was seeing? Most […]
Advent Sorrel – A Head-Scratcher
Advent Calendar mini skeins are delicious and addictive but a swine to use if you don’t want a shawl. Enter the Iridium inspired 2023 Advent Calendar from The Wool Kitchen. As it’s June it’s OK to show a spoiler of all the yarns in order… I loved the way they all blended and flowed into […]
Zakami Yarns Inspired Snuggly Jumper
Back from delinquent blogging after another health drama (under control now). After getting more and more tired and myself increasingly out of breath (like gasping for air after walking up the stairs or stopping several times walking up a hill that I ran up last year), I discovered I had several massive clots in my […]
It looks terrific! The two stripes really look great together.
