APB for Lost Hat

Published by on February 15, 2009 | 8 Responses

I’ve had a strange and scrappy week or two- in my life and my knitting. And I’ve had a knitting related loss. The big news around here is that we’ve put our home up for sale – all those neatly painted, plain backdrops to my knitted creations could be yours -for a very large fee!! […]

Finally, a Bit of Fluff

Published by on February 3, 2009 | 13 Responses

Mewsley may be a bully but she made me finish my Lacey Top. It’s taken me a horrendous 2 months to knit! I have knit socks and a cushion cover in that time too. Wanna see my little bit of fluff?? And the back view… It’s very fluffy and soft – and warm!   I […]

Avoidance, Procrastination and Excuses

Published by on February 1, 2009 | 8 Responses

I’ve not done a lot of knitting in the last week or two. I have an excuse (this is where I need a note from my Mum)… ..I have STILL been sick with this cold/flu type virus thingy. I’ll spare you the gory details but suffice it to say, after two months of all the […]

Chunky Twisted Ribbon Cushion

Published by on January 19, 2009 | 4 Responses

I’ve accidentally designed a cushion! I’ve had a bit of a sore elbow – tendonitis probably. A friend of mine suggested knitting with my right arm resting on a cushion , and having a project on thick needles handy to alternate with the fine Kidsilk Haze project. The fine finger movements of tiny metal needles […]

Commuting Knitting Sock No.3

Published by on January 7, 2009 | 6 Responses

Just a quickie post to show you my next Commuting, “Knit on the train” sock project. I found a new yarn lurking on John Lewis’ shelves and had to give it a go. It’s Wendy “Happy” sock yarn. I think that is a terrible, cloyingly sugary name for sock yarn but maybe I just have […]

The Good, the Bad and the Fabby

Published by on January 4, 2009 | 8 Responses

As you know, I have been chipping away at my Kidsilk Haze mountain, knitting the “Lacy Top with four sleeves”. That part is all “good”! The “bad” part was that I was getting very frustrated with all the yarnovers and my ancient, blunt metal needles -I’ve tried wood and bamboo with KSH – it doesn’t […]

How Many Sleeves?

Published by on December 30, 2008 | 4 Responses

There’s a regular “joke” in our house that goes something like this… Ben: “How’s the knitting going? Are you nearly finished yet?” Susan: “Quite well, Thanks Honey. I’m on the last sleeve” Ben: “The last sleeve? How many sleeves are there? !!” Ben walks away chuckling to himself and Susan rolls her eyes…. Then, of […]

Top Secret – Declassified

Published by on December 22, 2008 | 7 Responses

Do you remember, way back in March, how excited I was to be knitting as sample for KnitOnTheNet?  I first blogged it in “Top Secret Project – Shhhhh“.  The big downer of the project was that I couldn’t show it to you until the book it was for was out (understandable really!) Guess what, A […]

Fast ‘n’ Stripey

Published by on December 20, 2008 | 2 Responses

Once I’d finished my Hedera socks I needed some commuting knitting. I was mean to Ben. Look, Ben. Look at this lovely ball of yarn. You’d like a pair of socks in this WOULDN’T YOU?? “Urmmmm”, said Ben, looking scared “Is ‘Yes’ the right answer?” I graciously agreed to make Ben a pair of socks […]
