So Cute I Had to Have It.

Published by on October 26, 2010 | 7 Responses

I’m desperately struggling not to rush out and buy little boxes and ornaments and general fripperies for my Knit-Room. I need to build the furniture and start putting all the stuff away, decide what I need ( and have room for), THEN go shopping…Probably with Ben holding my credit card to prevent bankruptcy. But, but…… […]

Project Knit-Room

Published by on October 25, 2010 | 10 Responses

I have been very jealous since “Project ManCave”. Project ManCave was where we took a nasty, grubby little bedroom full of boxes of Ben’s toys and general Geekery… From Knit-Room …redecorated, replaced the carpet with a lovely rug (which can be found at various NW Rugs locations) due to a leaking radiator incident… From Knit-Room […]

Getting Lost Has It’s Benefits

Published by on October 16, 2010 | 5 Responses

I’ve finished Ben’s Second Chance Hat.. See here for the reason for that name! I made particularly quick progress returning from Bristol on the train – for all the wrong reasons…. Happily head down and knitting – I looked up and didn’t recognise the next station… “This train is going to London Paddington isn’t it?” […]

Just One Little Kidsilk Fix Won’t Hurt?

Published by on October 15, 2010 | 7 Responses

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 […]

Quality not Quantity

I took a whole day off work last week, met up with 4 of the Guilty Knitters (Hello to Mel, Judie, Glaucia and Jeni 🙂 ) and had a great day out at the Alexandra Palace Knitting and Stitching Show. (Or Ally Pally to anyone from this corner of the Globe) We battled against signal […]

False Start – Then Progress

Published by on October 3, 2010 | 5 Responses

Yarns firmly under control, I was whizzing along with Flag and getting through the rows on the chart very quickly – too quickly – alarmingly quickly….. Bugger! I had managed to misread this very large, clear instruction at the top of the chart (I’m doing size “S”)… From Flag I read one square as “4 […]

More Excitment from Iceland

Published by on September 27, 2010 | 7 Responses

I have really got the “Iceland” bug! As well as doing my Lopi Course with Ragga Eirikdottir, I’ve now discovered Icelandic Intarsia, courtesy of Helene Magnusson – the other half of Knitting Iceland – and this wonderful pattern of Helene’s from Knitonthenet. This is really tuning out to be a romp – a tale of […]

Taking Classes – Getting All Icelandic

Published by on September 14, 2010 | 6 Responses

So, the Kidsilk Haze workshop was a day of playing, experimentation and fluffy indulgence. The following day I was busy because I played in a Netball tournament for a work team – I’ve played once since school and that was last year’s tournament! A huge amount of fun but not much knitting there! Following Netball, […]

Taking Classes – Cracksilk Haze

Published by on September 12, 2010 | 6 Responses

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 […]
