CrackSilk Haze. I Can Stop Any Time I Want….

Published by on November 24, 2008 | 22 Responses

I’ve just visited a friend of mine who describes herself as a “Yarn Collector”.  She is honest that she doesn’t always intend to use the yarn – she just wants to have it. Pet it.  Stroke it. Love it. Of course, part of my visit was being proudly shown her new acquisitions.  It was a […]

What Knitters with Stash, Fear Most

Published by on November 15, 2008 | 8 Responses

When I started my second Hedera Sock. I was irritated to find 4 or 5 points in the yarn where it appeared that one strand of the two had broken – lots of joins at the start of the sock 🙁 I dismissed it as a manufacturing problem. Then when working on Emily, I had […]

When doing my boring weekly food shop on Sunday, I spotted what is arguably the most reasonably priced, inspired gift for any knitaholic.

Turning Lavender Red

Published by on August 27, 2008 | 2 Responses

In a major culling and review of my wardrobe (pitchforks and and industrial lifting equipment were required) I decided two things. I need a little strappy vest top in bright red. I’m never going to wear Lavender,other than out of guilt for neglecting it, while flopping around the house. You remember Lavender don’t you? Golden […]

Carol’s interest in knitting has been rekindled since I made her a gift of a kit to make some Regia self patterning socks. Carol completed them with a tiny amount […]

Frappe is storming along… I’m whizzing up the last sleeve today. Unfortunately there’s nothing interesting or exciting to tell or show you about it – quick, easy, looks good so far. So in the absence of exciting knitting news, want to see my latest embellished Poohs? (For anyone confused by that question see my post […]
