Knitting ‘n’ Cats news – tough going…

Published by on December 13, 2009 | 10 Responses

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

Published by on September 26, 2009 | 7 Responses

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

Published by on August 23, 2009 | 4 Responses

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!

Published by on August 9, 2009 | 13 Responses

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

Published by on June 28, 2009 | 8 Responses

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!

Published by on April 22, 2009 | 4 Responses

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 […]

Cat Subdues Yarn and a Dumb Blunder

Published by on April 18, 2009 | 5 Responses

I’m still slogging away at the Flower Blanket! …and I have discovered Blanket Rule No.6… Sixth rule: Tired Sleepy Knitter + Intarsia = Tears I tried to press on one evening, when very tired, and finish one of the flowers. Once you’re past the centre it’s relatively easy – just the column of single stitches […]

Boring Commuting Socks

Published by on March 15, 2009 | 2 Responses

With a blog post title like that I’m amazed you’d want to read this!! I finished yet another plain of boring plain socks on my daily commute this week… Here they are…. Thrilling huh? Even Thug wasn’t too impressed. The yarn was actually rather fun – Kaffe Fasset Regia Design Line – the colour changes […]

Avoidance, Procrastination and Excuses

Published by on February 1, 2009 | 8 Responses

I’ve not done a lot of knitting in the last week or two. I have an excuse (this is where I need a note from my Mum)… ..I have STILL been sick with this cold/flu type virus thingy. I’ll spare you the gory details but suffice it to say, after two months of all the […]

Purple Scarfery

Published by on December 6, 2008 | 4 Responses

Well I said it was quick! 😀 I’ve finished my “So Called Scarf” already. It was a great travelling knit until I got onto the second skein on Manos. Then it was too big to fit comfortably in my handbag. I then had to do more of it at home. Mewsley decided to “help” me […]
