Very Fluffy Progress
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
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 […]
I’m a Teapot
Do you ever get one of those knitting projects you just can’t put down and they are a delight in every detail? I’ve just finished one of those rare beasts – lucky me! 😀 I cast on “I’m a Little Teapot” on last Saturday with the intention of it being my new commuting project – […]
Populating the Knit-Room
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
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…
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 […]
Squeeeealll!! I’m in The Knitter!
Gosh! I’m expecting to be mobbed for an autograph and and be asked to open a shopping centre the next time I go out amongst my public…. Why am I deluded into thinking I have achieved such superstar status?? The Guilty Knitters and I have made it to the National Knitting press! This month’s (July […]
I’m now officially sick of this lace pattern!
I can’t believe I started Halcyon back in April. It’s taken me two and a half, very dull and uneventful months. To be fair, it has been delayed by my usual attack of SKS (Summer Knitting Slump) – there were a couple of weeks there I didn’t knit at all – shocking! I’ve also been […]
Conservatory Stash Busting
Do you remember how we painted the Conservatory a striking shade of green? Well, we’ve now put some furniture and plants in there and created a favourite snoozing spot for Mewsley! From Double Vision Cushion Do you like the cushion on the chair behind Mewsley? It was bought on a whim from Ikea. Here’s a […]
Knitted Election??!!
The paint fumes probably are the reason…. …I seem to keep seeing knitting where I shouldn’t…. …even in the election coverage! This strange and slightly worrying tenancy started when I was in Israel in 2008 (When I made Geno, and Hedera on holiday)…everyone else saw a sculpture dedicated to world peace…I saw…a giant ball of […]
I would have, but I was terrified it was full of moth lavae. It went straight in the dustbin!
Its a real shame about your tumbling blocks cushion. The rest of it is still so pretty I'd be tempted…
The fronts look just fabulous, and the back calculations and planning are quite genius!
I am in awe of your skills Susan. Looking forward to seeing the finished mistresspiece. x
Oh my goodness!! What am amazing job on creating your own back design. I still haven't tried a steek yet…
