I’m still slogging away at the Flower Blanket! …and I have discovered Blanket Rule No.6… Sixth rule: Tired Sleepy Knitter + Intarsia = Tears I tried to press on one evening, when very tired, and finish one of the flowers. Once you’re past the centre it’s relatively easy – just the column of single stitches […]

The Blanket Rules

Published by on April 8, 2009 | 4 Responses

I realised that I have created a set of strict rules for myself when I’m working on the Flower Blanket. The Blankie-Police are not going to come and get me if I break them but they do make life easier, or maybe more achievable, if I follow them. Your rules and ways of thinking are […]

Flower Blanket – Taking Shape…

Published by on April 5, 2009 | 7 Responses

I have finished 17 squares of my Flower Blanket, rejiggled the pattern (again) and done some sewing up!

I’m guessing some of you have been awaiting progress on the Flower Blanket?? Shall I taunt you?? I’m not that cruel šŸ˜€ You know I said I’d do this on the train? Somehow I’ve found another project to do on the train so this has been my evening project instead – the plain and stripy […]

How does being bored with knitting plain socks on the train turn into an afternoon designing a blanket? Here’s how… I sat asking myself, “What can I knit on the train that’s not socks?” Squares for a blanket maybe? Out came my two Debbie Abrahams blanket books. These two… I made my Denim Blankie from […]

I am finally beating the three months of constant coughs and colds! Yeah for me! šŸ™‚ Unfortunately for my knitting, this means that I’m busy having nights out and enjoying myself to make up for lost time –Ā  rather than sitting home and knitting.

Knit Blogger’s Block

Published by on March 1, 2009 | 7 Responses

I’ve been sitting at my PC, staring at a blank blogpost for about 15 minutes. I think I may be suffering from “Knit Blogger’s Block”. That’s very like Writer’s Block…but knitterly…. Maybe it’s some kind of cross contamination between writing and blocking my knitting??? Oh dear, I just had a vision of myself pondering the […]

I’m sure I’ve mentioned the Angelyarns knitting forum on my blog before. I have spent a lot of time posting there and made some good friends.Ā  It has been a valuable resource for me – friendly, funny and full of knowledgeable people who were happy to help. The bad news is that this forum has […]
