Airplane knitting

When I told you about my yarncrawl I mean, romantic weekend in Edinburgh, I forgot to tell you – we flew to Edinburgh…and I knit on the flight! It was a big decision, what to take to knit that wouldn’t offend airport security – a decision up there with what clothes to pack! I can […]

Country Pursuits

I really must try and keep my blogging as fast as my knitting! I finished off my Earth Stripe Wrap Sunday and started a new project – I’ve nearly finished it and I haven’t shown it to you yet! 😯 It is in super thick yarn so it’s not entirely surprising it’s so quick… Its […]

Blankie – Final resting place!

Just a quickie of a post ! Remember my denim Blankie??? We managed to get the beast hung in it’s intended position as a wall hanging at the head of the bed. We had a bit of a wrestle to get Thug to let it go..He does so love to sleep on my knitting! Mewsley […]

Blankie, Overdue Curtains and Schrodinger’s Cat

Do you remember the curtains I was about to make after decorating my spare room? No, not the bedroom I’m doing the Denim Blankie for. The room I did before that? Unfortunately, because the dates on my blog posts don’t lie, there is documentary proof that it’s taken me since February to make the curtains […]

It's hard work owning a knitting human...

It’s hard work owning a knitting human…

Hello readers. It’s Thug here.I thought it was time that you were told about the hard work my sister, Mewsley, and I put in to support our pet human’s knitting habit. Mewsley and I have wanted to blog for some time. The humans have gone out hunting (at a hunting ground they call “supermarket”) so […]

Garden’s Knitting Chair

When the sun is out, I like to knit in the garden. I can look at my tiny patch of garden, dream of the days in a previous home when I renovated huge garden, get a tan and watch over my emerging vegetables. I can also chase off the evil magpies who have been stealing […]

Cat Slays Human

Nothing to do with knitting – I just stumbled on this picture and thought “AWWWWww”! Thug says, “OK, so you didn’t like the mouse I gave you. What about this one?” Further caption suggestions please!

Evil forces conspire to prevent knitting…

The world is against me knitting… The decorating is at that gruelling preparation stage. The badly painted “glow in the dark” yellow walls have resisted all attempts at sanding – paint has been daubed over badly stripped wallpaper and glue giving a “jaunty and individual” surface. Everything I use to sand just clogs. I’m seriously […]

Spangle scarf done!

I was really keen to get my spangle scarf finished so I could wear it if I had to venture out in the forecast storms for today. I watched a stupid amount of TV yesterday and knit frantically to finish it. I have now watched so many episodes of Stargate that the first thiing I […]

To Blog or Not to Blog – that is the question…

I have been nagged mercilessly by friends, family and a geeky “web centric” partner to blog my knitting exploits… So here I am. See my “Who’s writing” page if you want more about me… I have two beloved cats I need to introduce you to.I do not apologise for loving them dearly – they will […]
