Alright Mr De-Mille, I’m Ready for My Close Up Now
Who would have thought that my knitting could lead to me becoming a film star! OK, that’s overstating it slightly 😉 So here’s what happened… I was contacted by an independent filmmaker, via his wife on Ravelry. Sergey explained he wanted to make a short documentary about knitting to expand his portfolio and wondered if I’d […]

And Now With Added Beads
Remember when I made my beautiful green Emanuela, I said I might change that 2nd skein of green for a different colour and make another one? That’s exactly what I did! Loop were very happy to change the skein for a different one for me and also flattered me by fawning over the lovely green Emanuela […]

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. […]

“Green Thing” (Otherwise Know as Fabulous Green Shawl)
I made the mistake of asking the lovely Ben what to title this blog post – I don’t think he was feeling particularly inspired this morning. “Green Thing”, was his instant answer. “That doesn’t really conjurer up a beautiful, lace shawl does it?”, I said. “Here is a beautiful lace shawl wot I made and some pictures of it.

No, not a scarf….I’ve made the Jerri Cowl! A beautiful, incredibly practical, cosy-warm cowl design, again from Purl Alpaca. Here’s the pattern pic.. […]

If You Wanna Get Ahead, Get A Hat!
Work has been quite busy – The move to Agile and a pretty heavy training course with lots of home work has stolen my blogging time. I have, however, managed to keep up my “Commuting Knitting” 🙂 Can you guess what I’ve made? Is the title of this post a spoiler? Ok – here it […]

Agile Knitting
Behold! I have discovered that I am an Agile Knitter!! Knitting while performing aerobics? Standing on one leg while performing impossible feats of fairisle dexterity? Urm, no… Let me start at the beginning, at work – I don’t normally talk about work because it is “work” and this is a knitting blog and what I do for a […]

I am Forgiven
I have finally been forgiven for being a bad, unfaithful wife and knitting for another man. How did Ben attain this state of nirvana? It only took me to knit a beautiful pair of socks and me to finish his Drifter 😀 The finishing is timely – The weather here is still freezing and Ben has a […]

Shivering and Knitless
Picture it readers, a shivering, knitless Ben, looking imploringly at the jumper I’m knitting him, silently berating me for knitting for another man and his current lack of new knit wear. (OK, maybe I’m hamming this up just a tiny bit for dramatic effect 😉 ) As Drifter is too large and complicated to take on the […]
