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 […]
Knitting ‘n’ Cats news – tough going…
The observant among you may have noticed I’ve not posted much of what I’ve been knitting recently-there’s a reason for that. It’s not been going so well. Thug and Mewsley have been having a tough time settling in to the new house and they haven’t been up to writing their usual contributions to the site […]
It’s Very Green
Thug has been very busy preparing to move house. Fortunately he has still found time to help me with the finishing of Cheer. I would get mad at him sitting on my freshly blocked knitting but how could I resist this face? I did say Cheer wouldn’t take long but pressures of work, preparing for […]
Katia – another WIP becomes a FO
Do you remember Katia? The “Holiday knitting that didn’t make it“? Now the swine flu is completely gone and Ben and I have both recovered (thankfully) and the house move is steaming ahead (yipee) I was so ashamed of myself for having so many WIPs on the go, I’ve whizzed though and finished Katia! Katia […]
Swine Flu Aids Iris Productivity!
It was inevitable that I would get Swine Flu 🙁 The only good thing about regularly being hit with the sniffles is that I am well prepared and know how to make the best of it. My survival kit consisted of :- Ultra balm tissues Lemsip Scotch, lemons and honey – to make hot toddies […]
The Carol Cushion
OK. I admit it….my resolve has failed me and I got bored with the flower blanket. It has been put away, pending winter. I’m a bad, naughty knitter and a bad, delinquent blogger 🙁 It’s my sister’s fault really….she went and had a birthday right when I was struggling to apply myself – she distracted […]
Not Enough Yarn!
I had a sneaky feeling when I started The Flower Blanket that 30 balls of yarn wasn’t going to be enough… I was right 😥 One column of nine squares uses pretty much 3 balls, one of each colour. Just scraps left over. I want 13 columns and an edging (which I guessing would be […]
