The Joy of Late Trains

Published by on January 23, 2011 | 4 Responses

Knitting has a wonderful ability to change my response to situations. My trains have been late, cancelled, crowded and generally a disorganised mess since the snow in December. MPs are now involved and there is a growing call for Southeastern Trains to loose their franchise all together. As a beleaguered daily commuter on this shabby […]

Today is this blog’s 4th blogiversary! When I do an annual review of my knitting and blogging achievements, I’m astonished that I’ve kept it up this long.

Finished Flag

Published by on January 9, 2011 | 12 Responses

I have  finished Flag and it’s great! A couple of evenings of dull garter stitch and careful seam sewing for the sleeves and I was done 🙂 The pattern did call for a crochet edging all around the edge but I have not done that. Partly because crochet now aggravates a tendon in my elbow […]

Easy for the Train

Published by on January 7, 2011 | 10 Responses

Do you ever pause, just before dashing out of the house in the morning, saying to yourself, “I can’t face that train journey without some knitting”? I do! Apart from being valuable knitting time, knitting helps me ignore the the “less pleasant and irritating” aspects of some of the other commuters. Anyone who has ever […]

Published by on January 4, 2011 | 8 Responses

Christmas is over and that means just one thing to me – The Bluewater John Lewis yarn sale!! Most of my ridiculously obese stash can be blamed on the temptation of those wonderful reductions on Rowan yarns 🙂 Apparently, there is a sale in the rest of the store too but I’ve usually spent all […]

Happy New Year! You may be wondering how I’m getting on with Flag – after all, I’ve had the Christmas break to knit haven’t I?? The truth is … I’m Flagging (pun intended!)  It has gotten so boring! I’ve finished the fun intasia “flag section” – that was a pleasure to knit and has come […]

Do you ever get one of those knitting projects you just can’t put down and they are a delight in every detail? I’ve just finished one of those rare beasts – lucky me! 😀 I cast on “I’m a Little Teapot” on last Saturday with the intention of it being my new commuting project – […]

Exciting News and a Hat…

Published by on December 11, 2010 | 17 Responses

I started a new new role with work 3 weeks ago and it has stolen all my knitting time. 🙁 Well… the new role plus the horrendous commuting through the 14″ snow  stole my knitting time. I’m in an area where an inch of snow that stays two days is considered an ice age!! More on […]

With all the fun of sorting out the Knit-Room, the only knitting that has been done has been a gift for a baby – Let me tell you how that started… While working together,my friend and colleague, James, made the fatal mistake of complimenting my laptop wallpaper and asking what it was… This picture… From […]

Published by on November 8, 2010 | 19 Responses

The last couple of weeks have been fun in the Knit-Room – more screwdriver action than knitting 🙁 I do have lots to show you though- Prepare for photo overload 🙂 New carpet is down and nice Mr Ikea has left me a huge pile of stuff to build. All there was to do was […]
