Fallen off the Cracksilk Wagon

I’ve fallen off the wagon in a big way – The lure of Rowan’s Kidsilk Haze was too much for me to resist. My long struggle with Cracksilk Haze addiction  has been well documented on this blog: KSH Shame  – Where I found I had nearly all the yarn for the Earthstripe wrap in stash. […]

Taking Classes – Cracksilk Haze

What a busy week – and most of it knitting related 😀 I have a back-log (back-blog? blog-log?) of blog posts for you – I just need the time to photograph and write them up – this beats struggling to find something interesting to say about purple square no.93! Part of my busy week has […]

CrackSilk Haze. I Can Stop Any Time I Want….

I’ve just visited a friend of mine who describes herself as a “Yarn Collector”.  She is honest that she doesn’t always intend to use the yarn – she just wants to have it. Pet it.  Stroke it. Love it. Of course, part of my visit was being proudly shown her new acquisitions.  It was a […]

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 […]

Drug Dealer Scales

It occurred to me that in my last post I was talking about quite small and precise quantities of yarn – 26g of a 50g skein for example. My kitchen scales are not quite that accurate so I bought myself this fabulous little gadget from amazon. Ascher Portable Digital Scale It has loads of functions […]

Kidsilk – Lovely Gifts and a Shocking KSH Audit

My Cracksilk Haze addiction is well documented on this blog.  I guess I have just found out why recovering addicts are not supposed to hang around with people with similar addictions…. Jenny, one of the Guilty Knitters, has been doing some serious destashing. She generously offered me her unwanted Kidsilk Haze, knowing I would give […]

Resolutions and Another Alpaca Lovely

I failed last year so I’m going to REALLY try to make it this year. I’m talking about New Year Resolutions of course. 2012’s resolution was “to buy no yarn unless I was going to knit it immediately”. I lasted until May then splurged on Kidsilk Haze 😉 Once the genie was out of the bottle […]

Ally Pally – Too Many Goodies

I am living up to my membership of the Guilty Knitters  as I am officially “guilty” of buying too much (again) at Ally Pally. I really needed a good day out and that’s what I had 🙂 So what did I buy?? You know how I need more Rowan Kidsilk Haze like a hole in the […]

Just One Little Kidsilk Fix Won’t Hurt?

I’m weak. I admit it. I struggle with my well documented Cracksilk Haze addiction … When I did my Kidsilk Haze workshop, Sarah Hazell, the tutor, mentioned to me that there was an unreleased shade of KSH available for Jannettes Rare Yarns… I was good and didn’t rush home and buy it…. Unfortunately, the exact […]
