Ohhh, Cashmere….

Published by on May 8, 2011 | 13 Responses

The green cashmere delight is done. Against the background of the most dull DIY project possible …painting the hall stairs, landing, coat cupboard and airing cupboard plain white instead of a horrid dirty, dark cream which was probably painted on 20 years ago… …With hands so rough from 2 days  sanding down paintwork that I […]

“I need you for Socks!”, I said as I burst into the room. Ben looked simultaneously excited, confused and a little bit scared. “No, I said SOCKS – put these on and make pretty for the camera”, I said as I waved my latest piece of commuting knitting at him…. “Oh”, said Ben, “Socks…” He […]

Thug

Published by on March 13, 2011 | 40 Responses

I am heartbroken to have to tell you, we made the painful decision to have Thug put to sleep Thursday evening. He has been showing his age and loosing weight gradually for the last year although the vet could find nothing wrong.  Over the last couple of weeks he suddenly got very sick and weak […]

Tantrum.

It’s been a bad knitting week 🙁 Do I mean a bad week to find time for knitting or that I’ve knit really badly? Unfortunately…Both! 😳 We have spent the last few weekends decorating our office at home. It really needed doing – we spend a great deal of time in there and it was […]

Very Fluffy Progress

Published by on February 12, 2011 | 7 Responses

I’ve been decorating again – this time our office where we both frequently work from home so huge disruption at our house! Computers and cupboards in every room, getting in the way 🙁 Not as much inspiration as decorating the knit room but at least this time we have the furniture and just needed to […]

4th Blogiversary

Published by on January 14, 2011 | 9 Responses

Today is this blog’s 4th blogiversary! When I do an annual review of my knitting and blogging achievements, I’m astonished that I’ve kept it up this long. It would never have kept going if you lovely readers hadn’t kept on commenting and encouraging me – Thank you!  😀 I looked back to see what I […]

Populating the Knit-Room

Published by on November 8, 2010 | 19 Responses

The last couple of weeks have been fun in the Knit-Room – more screwdriver action than knitting 🙁 I do have lots to show you though- Prepare for photo overload 🙂 New carpet is down and nice Mr Ikea has left me a huge pile of stuff to build. All there was to do was […]

At Last – The Flower Blanket is Done

Published by on September 7, 2010 | 11 Responses

The Flower Blanket is finally finished 😀 I am so relieved. First I must say, “Thanks you” for all the sympathy, empathy and support on my Despair Filled Wailing post – I think I’ve gotten over it now 😉 Before I show you the inevitable “Finished Blankie” pictures, I guess you’d like to know about […]

Knitgasm…

Published by on August 9, 2010 | 8 Responses

So what am I knitting right now while dreaming up Hetty colourways? I’m still trying to get back to being “one WIP at a time” girl. I hate having half done projects hiding in corners, reproaching me for abandoning them. 😳 So I had the choice of my two remaining WIPS – My see-through sweater […]
