Ebay Boo Boo

Published by on May 20, 2008 | 3 Responses

Have you ever had a yarn related accident? Have you ever had a yarn buying accident? I have. I made big Ebay boo boo 🙁 I occasionally sell unwanted yarn on Ebay and often browse the knitting section just to window shop. I need more yarn like a hole in the head 😳 Sometimes, if […]

The Embellishment of Pooh

My apologies – this post isn’t about knitting! You may think we are crazy but it is at least creative… It’s about doodling on shopping lists. And an excuse to show you some doodles and record them for posterity. So what is this about? Traditionally, in our home, Ben has always adorned my shopping lists […]

I had a surprise last weekend! I was whisked away to Edinburgh for a romantic birthday weekend by the lovely Ben. (My birthday weekend was also known by some people as “Easter” this year!)

Not much exciting to tell you on the knitting front. I’m still knitting Hildegard and slogging up the front – One side done up to the shoulder and just starting the other side of the V neck….I’d forgotten what a time consuming pattern it was! You can also see how the ball of silk just […]

No “Sex Pills” for Me!

Published by on February 12, 2008 | 2 Responses

I was bored watching TV last night and doing some channel chopping while knitting. I stumbled upon the opening 5 minutes of the 1958 Richard Burton film Look Back In Anger. The landlady collected her newspapers from the drenched (it was raining) paper boy, complained bitterly that they were wet, then announced, “Time for a […]

Do remember the Guilty Knitters’ Yarncrawl? We did another one Saturday! For those of you that don’t know, a Yarncrawl is like a pub crawl but with less booze , smoke and pubs and a lot more scrummy yarn, shops and chatter! This time there were 7 of us from the Guilty Knitters. Imagine it, […]

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 […]
