Published by on May 7, 2007 | 10 Responses

I have finally finished Glade and I have to say – I’m not a happy knitter. After slogging through 10 pattern repeats on the bottom hem and spending another £20 on extra yarn I was looking forward to something fabulous. I blogged all about the needle size problems and “yarn munching” in my previous Glade […]

Garden’s Knitting Chair

Published by on May 6, 2007 | 2 Responses

When the sun is out, I like to knit in the garden. I can look at my tiny patch of garden, dream of the days in a previous home when I renovated huge garden, get a tan and watch over my emerging vegetables. I can also chase off the evil magpies who have been stealing […]

Published by on April 27, 2007 | 4 Responses

I have heard back from Rowan and have some useful information to pass on about the Glade Hem edging. (In case you’re wondering what on earth I’m blathering about – I blogged about my suspicion that the hem edging needle size was wrong in my last Glade post.) Firstly – I am not alone. Kathryn […]

Felting Bagtastic!

Published by on April 19, 2007 | 2 Responses

Have I ever told you that I HATE having two WIPs in progress? I like to see project coming together quickly – if I have two WIPs on the go they take twice as long and I get frustrated! 😡 Those of you who have a long list of WIPs scare me! They would all […]

Today I went on a yarncrawl with Janie, Jane and Jenny from my knitting group. This was a bit like a pub crawl but with less booze , smoke and pubs and a lot more scrummy yarn, shops and chatter! Our first stop was Stash in Putney – none of us had been before… “Is […]

Published by on April 6, 2007 | 3 Responses

My elbow/hand/wrist pain is finally coming under control. 🙂 My GP showed my the twisting wrist action to avoid at all costs and the penny dropped – it was going mad at crocheting the Granny squares that did the damage! The elbow pain was “golfer’s elbow” (medial epicondylitis to the medically minded). I turned away […]

I promised I’d show you these, from my extensive “Pre-Blogging Archives” in my last post, Fair Isle Space Invaders. They are my “I’m gonna teach myself Fair Isle” project socks from Rowan’s RYC Classic Home book – the Snuggle bed socks. I made these a couple of years ago. I wanted something small that I […]
