Things That Look Like Knitting

Things That Look Like Knitting

Published by on November 13, 2012 | 3 Responses

Have you noticed how many things are in the shops that feature a knitted pattern or texture? Or am I just finely tuned to knit-spotting? I talked about the yarnish candles, knitted tissue box and knitted mug in my post Yarn to Burn already…now I seem to be seeing knitting everywhere. In the comments to that post, BatOutOfHell […]

Being Bad…

  So Heligan is at the “reknit the top of the sleeve and sew it up” stage – not my most favorite part…. And I have sumptuous new projects begging to be started from Ally Pally… And I a weak and weary from fighting off this stupid cough/cold/flu/bronchitis type thing… So have I diligently finished […]

Distracted by Cat Toys

Published by on April 9, 2012 | 8 Responses

I’ve had my attention diverted by cat toys. And string. Why on earth would cat toys be of interest to me when I don’t have a cat. Not since last year when Thug, and in February,  Mewsley succumbed to old age? Could it be that we have adopted new cats??!! I would like to introduce Ziggy and Kitty.   From Kitty […]

Mewsley

It’s Blocky and I Blocked It!

Oh WOW!!! I’ve finished the Modern Quilt Wrap and I am beside myself with the results. It definitely one of my favorite things I’ve made in a long time. (Yep the knitting mojo is back!) It has been finished quickly, mainly because it has that “I’ll just finish this stripe before making dinner, I’ll just finish this […]

The Curse is Broken (and so is my foot!)

Published by on September 26, 2011 | 5 Responses

I think I’ve finally broken that Kim Hargreaves curse of mine! Still is finished and I’m very pleased. How did I manage to finish so quickly?? That would be because I’ve been off from work since Tuesday after a small operation on my foot. OK,OK so the foot isn’t exactly broken – but I did […]
