Waves Shawl – I’ve Been Unfaithful to Kidsilk Haze
I made this!…And it’s not Kidsilk Haze!! How can this be? When I saw this image in a mailshot from the online knitting store, Deramores, I instantly fell in love. I wear that shape of shawl as a scarf and around my shoulders quite a lot – I wanted to make it. But, as someone […]

Introducing Pixie

Masika Skirt – Another WIP becomes a FO
Another WIP completed from the WIP pile… Here is the Masika Skirt – another lovely from Purl Alpaca… This is a super design of a skirt and quite an easy knit once you get the rhythm of the cables. It is essentially a tube with identical panels of cables at the back and front. The […]

Here’s the whole thing, complete with edging… I have been slogging away and perhaps overdone it as my hands now ache and my wrist was starting to twinge – it is quite hefty crocheting 2 strands of DK.

I loved how the two stitch cables worked to form the zigzag details.(I […]

Charity Hats for the Big Knit
At my new job, we are given one day a year to do something for charity as part of our corporate responsibility program. Wonderful! But what could I do? What unique skill do I have to help a charity? I have made these little hats for The Big Knit (a fundraising thing helped by Innocent Smoothies […]

Too Many WIPS and Some Tartan
I was horrified to discover I have four WIPs – you know how I like to be the “One WIP Girl”, being oh so smug about how quickly I finish an item because I work on one thing at a time? I’ve fallen off that wagon! 😮 I had intended to spend the long Christmas […]

What to Do When Travelling for 20 Hours…
