It’s Blocky and I Blocked It!

Published by on October 16, 2011 | 14 Responses

Oh WOW!!! I’ve finished the Modern Quilt Wrap and I am beside myself with the results. ItĀ definitelyĀ one of my favorite things I’ve made in a long time. (Yep the knitting mojo is back!) It has been finished quickly, mainly because it has that “I’ll just finish this stripe before making dinner, I’ll just finish this […]

Published by on October 5, 2011 | 7 Responses

OUCH! I have had the stitches out of my poorly foot. 3 of the 5 stitches came out easily. The other 2 hurt like the nurse was pulling out Ā old hairy rope šŸ™ My eyes watered and I needed a tissue to dab at them… …how about a knitted tissue?! OK, OK an actual knitted […]

The Curse is Broken (and so is my foot!)

Published by on September 26, 2011 | 5 Responses

I think I’ve finally broken that Kim Hargreaves curse of mine! Still is finished and I’m very pleased. How did I manage to finish so quickly?? That would be because I’ve been off from work since Tuesday after a small operation on my foot. OK,OK so the foot isn’t exactly broken – but I did […]

“Still” Working on the Mojo

Published by on September 18, 2011 | 5 Responses

Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment but, my next project is another Kim Hargreaves. I will break that “Kim Hargreaves Curse” if it kills me! Usually I have at least 10 things I’m itching to start and another 20 patterns I kinda like too. This time there was much gnashing and wailing and flinging of […]

Elizabeth – Too Damned Big

Published by on September 11, 2011 | 10 Responses

After putting in the effort to finish Elizabeth, I’mĀ disappointedĀ to find, she’s turned out too big šŸ™ This really isn’t helping my lack of knitting mojo! I think she wearable but not the sleek, elegant fitted look I was expecting…see what you think…. From Elizabeth It’s ok over the hips but huge under the arms. Mewsley […]

Oh, This is Too Hard!

Published by on June 12, 2011 | 3 Responses

Ghaaaah!My head hurt from smashing it repeatedly onto my desk … This pattern is not well written. I’m still plugging away at Elizabeth from Kim Hargreaves. After finding the errata and having to reknit the back, I quite naturally, started on the front. (this post does get more exciting – I promise…) All was going […]

The Kim Hargreaves Curse!

Published by on May 22, 2011 | 16 Responses

I think someone has put a “Kim Hargreaves Curse” on me! I love her designs but I keep on getting it wrong with stupid errors when I knit them! It’s not like I’m a beginner either is it?? They all turn out OK in the end but if I’m going to mess up it’s on […]
